**SAN DIEGO, Calif. and SUZHOU and SHANGHAI, China, March 13, 2023** – Gracell Biotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: GRCL) ("Gracell" or the "Company"), a global clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering and developing highly efficacious and affordable cell therapies for the treatment of cancer, today reported fourth quarter and full year 2022 unaudited financial results for the period ended December 31, 2022, and provided corporate updates.

"Our lead candidate GC012F, the BCMA/CD19 dual-targeting FasTCAR-T therapy, has demonstrated encouraging efficacy and differentiated safety profile in the 48 patients treated across three indications in three studies. This gives us a high level of conviction in the significant therapeutic potential of GC012F in a wide range of hematology and immunology indications. We recently received IND clearances from both the US FDA and China NMPA, and are on track to commence enrollment in these two Company-sponsored trials in RRMM in the coming months," said Dr. William (Wei) Cao, founder, Chairman and CEO of Gracell. "Moreover, we plan to provide an important clinical data update on the response durability of GC012F in RRMM in mid-year 2023."

Dr. Cao continued, "Concurrently, we are expanding Gracell's clinical pipeline across our technology platforms, including initiating a China IIT for SMART CAR-T GC506 in Claudin18.2-positive solid tumors in first half of 2023."

**Pipeline Updates** 

**FasTCAR** **Platform:** Next-day manufacturing for autologous CAR-T cell therapy with enhanced cell fitness.

**GC012F:** Autologous CAR-T therapy candidate dual-targeting B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and CD19, currently being evaluated for the treatment of RRMM, newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) and r/r B-NHL.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Company-sponsored Phase 1b/2 clinical trial in
US evaluating GC012F for the treatment of RRMM on track to initiate in the second quarter 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Received FDA clearance for IND application in January 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Phase 1b portion of the trial is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of GC012F in two dose
levels in approximately 12 patients and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o In the current protocol, the Phase 2 portion is intended to evaluate the efficacy in approximately 50
patients and further characterize the safety.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Company-sponsored Phase 1/2 clinical trial in
China evaluating GC012F in RRMM expected to initiate in the third quarter 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Received China NMPA clearance for IND application in February 2023

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Phase 1 portion of the trial is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of GC012F in two dose
levels in approximately nine patients and to determine the RP2D.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o In the current protocol, the Phase 2 portion is intended to evaluate the efficacy in up to 98 patients
and further characterize the safety.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Presented at ASH 2022 the first clinical data
from ongoing investigator-initiated (IIT) evaluating GC012F in transplant-eligible, high risk NDMM

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Demonstrated a 100% overall response rate (ORR) and 100% minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity in
all 16 treated patients across all dose levels. 75% of the treated patients did not experience any grade of cytokine release syndrome.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Enrollment and follow-up continuing in the ongoing IIT.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Enrollment and follow-up progressing in the IIT
in China evaluating GC012F in r/r B-NHL.

**TruUCAR Platform:** Novel designs enabling "off-the-shelf" allogeneic CAR-T therapy.

**GC502:** CD19/CD7 dual-directed allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy candidate being studied in an ongoing Phase 1 IIT in China for the treatment of B-cell malignancies. GC502 is manufactured from T cells of non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched healthy donors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Presented at EHA 2022 the updated data from single-arm,
open-label IIT with longer follow-up of GC502 in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).

**SMART CART** **<sup>TM</sup> Technology module***:* With unique construct to take advantage of the suppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and effectively combat solid tumors, SMART CART<sup>TM</sup> is designed to enhance CAR-T cell proliferation and duration of killing, and to resist exhaustion with improved persistence of CAR-T cells.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Plan to commence a China IIT for GC506 in Claudin18.2-positive
solid tumors in first half of 2023.

**GC007g for the treatment of B-ALL:** Allogeneic CD19-targeted CAR-T cell therapy, derived from HLA-matched donor, for the treatment of r/r B-ALL patients who failed transplant and may not be eligible for autologous CAR-T therapy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Phase 2 portion of the registration Phase 1/2
clinical trial in China evaluating GC007g for the treatment of r/r B-ALL is ongoing.

**Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022**

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had RMB1,458.2 million (US$211.4 million) in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

**About FasTCAR**

CAR-T cells manufactured on Gracell's proprietary FasTCAR platform appear younger, less exhausted, and show enhanced proliferation, persistence, bone marrow migration, and tumor cell clearance activities as demonstrated in preclinical studies. With next-day manufacturing, FasTCAR is able to significantly improve cell production efficiency, which may result in meaningful cost savings, increasing the accessibility of cell therapies for cancer patients.

**About TruUCAR**

TruUCAR is Gracell's proprietary technology platform and is designed to generate high-quality allogeneic CAR-T cell therapies that can be administered "off-the-shelf" at lower cost and with greater convenience. With differentiated design enabled by gene editing of unique genes, TruUCAR is designed to control host vs graft rejection (HvG) as well as graft vs host disease (GvHD) without the need of being co-administered with additional immunosuppressive drugs.

**About** **SMART CART<sup>TM</sup>**

SMART CART<sup>TM</sup> is Gracell's proprietary technology module designed to strengthen the functionality of CAR-T cells further, and aims to overcome tumor microenvironment (TME). SMART CART<sup>TM</sup> includes altered expression of the receptor and signaling mechanism of an inhibitory TME molecule to enhance expansion and persistence and to reduce the exhaustion of CAR T cells. This design reverses and turns immunosuppressive signals of TME into stimulatory reactions of CAR-T cells. SMART CART<sup>TM</sup> technology can be applied to many targets for the treatment of solid tumors.

**About Gracell** 

Gracell Biotechnologies Inc. ("Gracell") is a global clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering and developing breakthrough cell therapies. Leveraging its pioneering FasTCAR and TruUCAR technology platforms and SMART CART<sup>TM</sup> technology module, Gracell is developing a rich clinical-stage pipeline of multiple autologous and allogeneic product candidates with the potential to overcome major industry challenges that persist with conventional CAR-T therapies, including lengthy manufacturing time, suboptimal cell quality, high therapy cost and lack of effective CAR-T therapies for solid tumors.
