**Item 8.01 Other Matters.** 

***Data Releases***

The Company is a clinical-stage **C**lustered **R**egularly **I**nterspaced **S**hort **P**alindromic **R**epeats ("CRISPR") genome-editing biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing transformative therapies for patients with devastating diseases. The Company's genome-editing platform, including its novel chRDNA (**<u>C</u>**RISPR **<u>h</u>**ybrid **<u>R</u>**NA-**<u>DNA</u>**, pronounced "chardonnay") technology, enables more precise genome editing of allogeneic cell therapies. The Company's allogeneic, or off-the-shelf, CAR-T cell therapy product candidates are manufactured in advance with cells from healthy donors, with the goal of enabling broad patient access, rapid patient treatment, and increased manufacturing scale. The Company's allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy product candidates in clinical development are directed at established cell surface targets against which autologous CAR-T cell therapeutics have already demonstrated clinical proof of concept, CD19 and B cell maturation antigen ("BCMA"). The Company uses its chRDNA technologies to armor its allogeneic CAR-T cell therapies

------

through multiple genome-editing strategies, such as checkpoint disruption and immune cloaking, to enhance activity against hematologic malignancies.

The Company is advancing two clinical-stage allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy product candidates for the treatment of patients with hematologic malignancies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Vispacabtagene regedleucel ("vispa-cel"; formerly CB-010)*: an allogeneic anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy that is being evaluated in patients with relapsed or refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma ("r/r B-NHL") in the Company's ongoing ANTLER phase 1 clinical trial. The Company believes vispa-cel will have several advantages over commercially available autologous CAR-T cell therapies, including broad patient access, shorter time to treatment with an off-the-shelf product, significantly lower manufacturing costs, and a substantially smaller footprint for manufacturing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *CB-011*: an allogeneic anti-BCMA CAR-T cell therapy that is being evaluated in patients with r/r MM in the Company's ongoing CaMMouflage phase 1 clinical trial. The Company believes CB-011 will have several advantages over both commercially available bispecific antibody therapies and autologous CAR-T cell therapies, including a single-dose treatment regimen, potentially lower rates of grade 3 or greater infections, and rapid immune recovery compared to bispecifics, as well as broader patient access, shorter time to treatment with an off-the-shelf product, significantly lower manufacturing costs, and a substantially smaller footprint for manufacturing compared to autologous CAR-T cell therapies.

Vispa-cel has received regenerative medicine advanced therapy ("RMAT") designation for relapsed or refractory large B cell lymphoma ("r/r LBCL") as well as fast track designation for r/r B-NHL from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"); CB-011 has received fast track designation for r/r MM from the FDA.

The Company's CAR-T cell therapy product candidate pipeline is shown below:

![Pipeline.jpg](crbu-20251103_g1.jpg)

***ANTLER Clinical Trial Results***

On November 3, 2025, the Company announced results from its ongoing ANTLER phase 1 clinical trial evaluating vispa-cel in 2L LBCL patients, including the first data disclosure on 22 patients enrolled in the phase 1 confirmatory cohort to prospectively evaluate patients who received a dose of vispa-cel manufactured from a donor with at least four matching human leukocyte antigen ("HLA") alleles (of 12 total alleles) with the patient ("partial HLA matching") as well as on additional LBCL patients from dose escalation and dose expansion.

As of September 2, 2025, the safety data cutoff date, the ANTLER trial had enrolled 84 patients, including the confirmatory cohort of 22 2L LBCL patients designed to prospectively confirm the positive outcomes of partial HLA matching observed in earlier retrospective analyses. Following a lymphodepletion ("LD") regimen of 60 mg/kg/day of cyclophosphamide for two days and 25 mg/m<sup>2</sup>/day of fludarabine for five days, each patient in the confirmatory cohort received a dose of vispa-cel at the recommended phase 2 dose ("RP2D") (80x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells) such that the patient and the T cell donor shared at least four of 12 HLA alleles. As of September 29, 2025, the efficacy data cutoff date, the results for the 22-patient confirmatory cohort were as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 82% (18/22) overall response rate ("ORR")

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 64% (14/22) complete response ("CR") rate

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 51% 12-month progression-free survival ("PFS")

------

Median follow-up time for the confirmatory cohort was 6.0 months.

The announced results included an analysis of the 35 CD19-naïve, LBCL patients enrolled in the Company's ANTLER phase 1 clinical trial who received a dose of vispa-cel that met the criteria for the Company's optimized product profile, which criteria are a young T cell donor under the age of 30 and a minimum of two of 12 HLA alleles matched between the patient and the T cell donor. Twenty of these 35 patients were enrolled in the confirmatory cohort, and the remaining 15 patients were enrolled in dose escalation or dose expansion. Thirty-two of the 35 patients were 2L patients and three of the 35 patients were third-line or later ("3L+") patients. As of September 29, 2025, the efficacy data cutoff date, the results for the 35-patient optimized product cohort were as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 86% (30/35) ORR

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 63% (22/35) CR rate

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 53% 12-month PFS

Median follow-up time for the optimized cohort was 11.8 months.

The following is a summary of results for the confirmatory cohort and the optimized profile for vispa-cel:

![Vispacel confirmcohort.jpg](crbu-20251103_g2.jpg)

<sup>1</sup>2L LBCL 4+ HLA matched, dosed with 80x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells

<sup>2</sup>2L (N=32) and 3L+ (N=3) LBCL patients treated with 40x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells, 80x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells, or 120x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells, optimized for multiple factors, including 2+ HLA matching and young donor-derived

*Additional information:* 

• Efficacy data cutoff date: September 29, 2025

*Definitions:* "DoR": duration of response; "NE": not evaluable; "NR": not reached; "CI": confidence interval

------

The results are further summarized in the following swimmer plot for the optimized profile cohort<sup>1</sup>:

![SwimmerOptCohort.jpg](crbu-20251103_g3.jpg)

<sup>1</sup> 2L (N=32) and 3L+ (N=3) LBCL patients treated with 40x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells, 80x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells, or 120x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells, optimized for multiple factors, including 2+ HLA matching and young donor-derived

<sup>\*</sup> Patient diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma after day 28 scan revealed a non-responsive lung nodule and was enrolled in the Company's long-term follow-up study. Patient is last known to be in continued response without additional anti-lymphoma therapy at one year post vispa-cel treatment

*Additional information:* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Long-term follow-up data reflect the last known response; marked time points indicate confirmation of no disease progression

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• One vispa-cel-related grade 5 IEC-HS occurred on day 25 post-infusion

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Median duration of complete response ("DoCR") was not reached in this cohort

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Certain patients converted from CR or PR to PD at various assessment time points as indicated in the chart above

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Efficacy data cutoff date: September 29, 2025

*Definition:* "IEC-HS": immune effector cell-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis-like syndrome

Vispa-cel was generally well tolerated. As of September 2, 2025, the safety data cutoff date, treatment emergent adverse events ("TEAEs") at any grade in 25% or greater of all 84 patients who received vispa-cel were thrombocytopenia (62%), cytokine release syndrome ("CRS") (55%), anemia (52%), neutropenia (39%), hypokalemia (26%), and leukopenia (26%). In the confirmatory and optimized profile cohorts, there were no cases of graft-versus-host disease ("GvHD") or grade 3 or greater immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome ("ICANS"), fewer than 5% of patients experienced grade 3 or greater CRS, and 28% (out of 80 patients) experienced prolonged cytopenias.

------

The following is a summary of notable adverse events for all three cohorts in the ANTLER phase 1 clinical trial (safety data cutoff date: September 2, 2025):

![Table 2.jpg](crbu-20251103_g4.jpg)

<sup>1</sup>2L LBCL 4+ HLA matched, dosed with 80x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells

<sup>2</sup>2L (N=32) and 3L+ (N=3) LBCL patients treated with 40x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells, 80x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells, or 120x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells, optimized for multiple factors, including 2+ HLA matching and young donor-derived

<sup>3</sup>Prolonged cytopenias are defined as grade 3 or 4 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, or anemia ongoing at day 28 (+/- 5 days) post CAR-T cell infusion, based on laboratory data, distinct from investigator-reported clinical adverse events

<sup>4</sup>Includes one vispa-cel-related grade 5 IEC-HS that occurred day 25 post-infusion

A cohort of 3L+ LBCL patients with prior exposure to CD19-targeted therapy enrolled five patients as of the September 2, 2025, safety data cutoff date. Enrollment in this cohort has been paused to focus on CD19-naïve patients.

*Pivotal Phase 3 Clinical Trial in 2L r/r LBCL* 

In recent interactions, the FDA has recommended that the Company conduct a randomized, controlled trial in 2L LBCL CD19-naïve patients who are ineligible for transplant and autologous CAR-T cell therapy, and the Company intends to follow this approach with its planned pivotal phase 3 trial design and expects to evaluate approximately 250 patients. The Company believes there is a meaningful opportunity within this population, as it anticipates that approximately half of the estimated 10,000 2L DLBCL patients are transplant-ineligible and that a meaningful majority of the transplant-ineligible patients are also autologous CAR-T-ineligible. Patients randomized to the study arm would receive a single dose of vispa-cel at the RP2D of 80x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells following lymphodepletion with 60 mg/kg/day of cyclophosphamide for two days and 25 mg/m<sup>2</sup>/day of fludarabine for five days. Patients randomized to the comparator arm would be treated with the investigator's choice of standard of care immunochemotherapy agents. The primary endpoint would be PFS, and an interim analysis is planned. Secondary endpoints would include ORR, CR rate, DoR, DoCR, overall survival, quality of life, and safety. The Company intends to further refine its pivotal phase 3 clinical trial design through continued engagement with the FDA prior to initiation of the pivotal trial. Although the Company believes this approach provides a straightforward regulatory path to full FDA approval of vispa-cel based on FDA interactions to date, the Company cannot assure you that, in future discussions with the FDA, the FDA will not recommend or request additional requirements for the Company's planned pivotal phase 3 clinical trial design for vispa-cel.

***CaMMouflage Clinical Trial Results***

On November 3, 2025, the Company announced results from the dose escalation portion of its ongoing CaMMouflage phase 1 trial evaluating CB-011 in r/r MM patients. Forty-eight fourth-line or later ("4L+") patients were enrolled in the dose escalation portion of the trial; enrollment in dose escalation is now completed. Patients had been treated with three or more prior lines of therapy including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory drug, and an anti-CD38 antibody. Prior treatment with an autologous CAR-T cell therapy was not permitted and no BCMA-targeted therapy was permitted within the prior three months.

The Company evaluated two different LD regimens and multiple CAR-T cell dose levels. Thirty-five patients were treated with an LD regimen of 500 mg/m<sup>2</sup> cyclophosphamide and 30 mg/m<sup>2</sup> fludarabine daily for three days ("the selected LD regimen"). A single dose of CB-011 preceded by the selected LD regimen resulted in responses at all dose levels evaluated (150x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells, N=6; 300x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells, N=13; 450x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells, N=13; and

------

800x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cells, N=3). Also on November 3, 2025, the Company announced that the 450x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cell dose with the selected LD regimen is its recommended dose for expansion ("RDE").

As of September 24, 2025, the data cutoff date, the results for the 12-patient, BCMA-naïve cohort treated with the selected LD regimen and the 450x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cell dose were as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 92% (11/12) ORR

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 75% (9/12) CR / stringent CR ("sCR") rate

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 91% (10/11) evaluable patients achieved minimal residual disease ("MRD") negativity (≤10<sup>-5</sup>)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Seven of the 12 patients remain on study as of the data cutoff date in very good partial response ("VGPR") or better six months or longer following receipt of a single dose of CB-011

The median follow-up for patients dosed with the RDE was 8.3 months, and the longest responding patient in this cohort is in an sCR at 15 months post-infusion.

The results are further summarized in the following swimmer plot for the 12-patient, BCMA-naïve cohort treated with the selected LD regimen and the 450x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cell dose:

![swimmerPlotBCMA.jpg](crbu-20251103_g5.jpg)

<sup>1</sup>MRD negative at ≤10<sup>-5</sup>

*Additional information:* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• One patient who had previously withdrawn from the trial died on day 90 of treatment-related ICAHT; one patient died of pneumonia on day 50 (not treatment-related)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Data shown are from BCMA-naïve patients dosed at the 450x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cell dose with the selected LD regimen

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Data cutoff date: September 24, 2025

*Definitions:* "EMD": extramedullary disease; "ICAHT": immune effector cell-associated hematotoxicity; "mo": months

CB-011 had a manageable safety profile across all dose levels and lymphodepletion regimens (N=48), with no cases of GvHD, immune effector cell-associated enterocolitis ("IEC-EC"), parkinsonism, or cranial nerve palsies. TEAEs in 25% or greater of all patients treated with CB-011 following the selected LD regimen (N=35) were as follows: neutropenia (80%), anemia (60%), thrombocytopenia (49%), infections (49%), dizziness (31%), cytokine release syndrome (31%), fatigue (31%), leukopenia (29%), decreased appetite (29%), constipation (26%), and pyrexia (26%). Notable adverse events in the RDE cohort included one CB-011-related grade 5 ICAHT on day 90, one grade 5 pneumonia not related to CB-011 on day 50, and one grade 4 CB-011-related Guillain-Barré Syndrome on day 129, which is resolving. In the cohort evaluating the 300x10<sup>6</sup> viable CAR-T cell dose level following the selected LD regimen, there was one grade 5 respiratory syncytial virus not related to CB-011 on day 73. Prophylactic measures for cytopenias and infections and early intervention for IEC-HS have been successfully implemented in the Company's clinical protocol.

------

The following is a summary of notable adverse events in the CaMMouflage phase 1 clinical trial (data cutoff date: September 24, 2025):

![Table CB-011.jpg](crbu-20251103_g6.jpg)

<sup>1</sup>Any continued ≥ grade 3 cytopenia based on laboratory data at ≥ day 35; denominator is those evaluable at day 35 (+/- five days)

The Company plans to initiate dose expansion of the CaMMouflage phase 1 clinical trial before the end of 2025 and to report dose expansion data, along with longer follow-up on dose escalation data, in 2026.

BERKELEY, Calif., November 3, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Caribou Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRBU), a leading clinical-stage CRISPR genome-editing biopharmaceutical company, today announced positive results from its ongoing ANTLER phase 1 clinical trial evaluating vispacabtagene regedleucel (vispa-cel; formerly CB-010), an allogeneic anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy, in patients with relapsed or refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r B-NHL).

"The ANTLER data mark an exciting advancement for the field of cellular immunotherapy," said Mehdi Hamadani, MD, professor of medicine and section chief of hematologic malignancies at the Medical College of Wisconsin and an investigator on the ANTLER trial. "This clinical dataset demonstrates vispa-cel's efficacy and durability are comparable to autologous CAR-T therapies, yet its off-the-shelf availability and favorable tolerability profile make it well suited for outpatient administration at both large academic centers and sophisticated community hospitals. This combination of robust clinical activity and accessibility could significantly broaden patient access to transformative CAR-T cell treatments, particularly for those who cannot wait or are ineligible for transplantation or autologous CAR-T cell therapies."

As of the September 2, 2025, safety data cutoff date, the ANTLER trial has enrolled 84 patients, including a confirmatory cohort of 22 CD19-naïve second-line (2L) large B cell lymphoma (LBCL) patients. The confirmatory cohort was designed to prospectively confirm the positive outcomes of partial HLA matching (≥4 matched HLA alleles) observed in earlier retrospective analyses. Patients in the confirmatory cohort received vispa-cel at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D; 80×10⁶ CAR-T cells), and the data from this cohort, as of an efficacy data cutoff date of September 29, 2025, confirmed that a single dose of partially matched (≥4 matched HLA alleles) vispa-cel results in efficacy that is on par with approved autologous CAR-T cell therapies including an 82% overall response rate (ORR), a 64% complete response (CR) rate, and 51% progression-free survival (PFS) at 12 months (Table 1). Median follow-up for the confirmatory cohort is 6.0 months.

<sup>1</sup>2L LBCL 4+ HLA matched, dosed with 80M vispa-cel CAR-T cells

<sup>2</sup>2L (N=32) and 3L+ (N=3) LBCL patients treated with 40M, 80M, or 120M vispa-cel CAR-T cells optimized for multiple factors, including 2+ HLA matching and young donor-derived

CR: complete response; DoR: duration of response; HLA: human leukocyte antigen; NE: not evaluable; NR: not reached; ORR: overall response rate; PFS: progression-free survival

Data cutoff date for efficacy: September 29, 2025

The Company leveraged its large allogeneic CAR-T cell clinical data set (>140 patients dosed across multiple clinical trials) to identify key factors linked to successful patient outcomes. Two of those factors are donor age (young donors drive enhanced outcomes relative to older donors) and partial HLA matching (matching 2 or more [2+] alleles correlates with outcomes on par with autologous CAR-T cell therapies). Of the 84 patients dosed with vispa-cel, there are 35 CD19-naïve LBCL patients who received vispa-cel with an optimized profile (32 of these patients were 2L and 3 of these patients were 3L+). The optimized profile vispa-cel was manufactured from young donor-derived T cells, and the 35 patients matched a minimum of 2 HLA alleles with the T cell donor. Twenty of the 35 patients in the optimized profile cohort were enrolled in the confirmatory cohort, and the remaining 15 patients were enrolled in dose escalation or expansion.

Data from this 35-patient cohort further confirmed that the efficacy and durability of vispa-cel are on par with the autologous CAR-T cell therapies. Median follow-up for the optimized profile cohort was 11.8 months, and the longest responding patient, who completed the 2-year ANTLER trial and enrolled in the long-term follow-up study, is in complete response at 3 years post infusion. As of the September 29, 2025, efficacy data cutoff date, the results for the 35-patient optimized profile cohort included an 86% ORR, a 63% CR rate, and 53% PFS at 12 months (Table 1).

In all patients treated in ANTLER (N=84), vispa-cel has demonstrated a generally well-tolerated safety profile. As of the September 2, 2025, safety data cutoff date, treatment emergent adverse events at any grade in ≥25% of all patients who received vispa-cel were thrombocytopenia (62%), cytokine release syndrome (CRS; 55%), anemia (52%), neutropenia (39%), hypokalemia (26%), and leukopenia (26%). In the confirmatory and optimized profile cohorts, there were no cases of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) or ≥grade 3 immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), <5% patients experienced ≥grade 3 CRS, and there were manageable rates of infections and prolonged cytopenias (Table 2). The safety profile of vispa-cel allows for use in an outpatient setting.

"We believe that with these results, Caribou has achieved what the field has long sought — strong evidence that an allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy can be on par with the efficacy and durability of

------

autologous treatments and broaden access with a safety profile that allows for outpatient use," said Rachel Haurwitz, PhD, Caribou's president and CEO. "This milestone positions vispa-cel as a potentially best-in-class allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy for patients with large B cell lymphoma. We believe we have a straightforward regulatory path toward full registration by following the FDA's recommendation for a randomized, controlled phase 3 trial in second-line large B cell lymphoma, and we plan to refine our pivotal trial design in the coming months through continued engagement with the FDA."

Data cutoff date for safety: September 2, 2025

A cohort of third-line or later LBCL patients with prior exposure to CD19-targeted therapy enrolled 5 patients as of the September 2, 2025, safety data cutoff date. Enrollment in this cohort has been paused to focus on CD19-naïve patients.

**Pivotal phase 3 trial for 2L LBCL for full approval**

In recent interactions, the FDA has recommended the Company conduct a randomized, controlled trial in 2L LBCL CD19-naive patients who are ineligible for transplant and autologous CAR-T cell therapy, and the Company intends to follow this approach with its planned pivotal phase 3 clinical trial design, evaluating approximately 250 patients. Patients randomized to the study arm would receive a single dose of vispa-cel at the recommended phase 2 dose of 80×10⁶ CAR-T cells following lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, and patients randomized to the comparator arm would be treated with the investigator's choice of standard of care immunochemotherapy agents. The primary endpoint is PFS, and an interim analysis of PFS is planned. Secondary endpoints would include ORR, complete response rate (CRR), duration of response (DoR), duration of complete response (DoCR), overall survival (OS), quality of life (QoL), and safety. This expected trial design reflects Caribou's internal analysis and interactions with the FDA to date. The Company intends to further refine the pivotal trial design through continued engagement with the FDA prior to initiation. Caribou plans to bring vispa-cel closer to where patients live by leveraging community and academic sites within the U.S. and globally.

**About vispacabtagene regedleucel** 

Vispacabtagene regedleucel (vispa-cel; formerly known as CB-010) is an allogeneic anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy being evaluated in patients with relapsed or refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r B-NHL). To Caribou's knowledge, vispa-cel is the first allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy in the clinic with a PD-1 knockout, a genome-editing strategy designed to enhance CAR-T cell activity by limiting premature CAR-T cell exhaustion. The FDA granted vispa-cel Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT), Orphan Drug, and Fast Track designations for B-NHL.

**About the ANTLER phase 1 clinical trial** 

The ANTLER clinical trial is a multicenter, open-label phase 1 trial evaluating vispacabtagene regedleucel (vispa-cel; formerly CB-010) in adults with relapsed or refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). Eighty-four patients have been treated in the ANTLER clinical trial as of September 2, 2025. Using a 3+3 enrollment strategy, safety and efficacy were assessed in 16 patients in dose escalation evaluating 40x10<sup>6</sup>, 80x10<sup>6</sup>, and 120x10<sup>6</sup> CAR-T cell dose levels with a lymphodepletion regimen of cyclophosphamide at 60 mg/kg/day for 2 days followed by fludarabine at 25 mg/m<sup>2</sup>/day for 5 days. Forty-one patients with 2L LBCL were enrolled in the dose expansion portion, and 80x10<sup>6</sup> CAR-T cells was selected as the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). An additional 22 patients with 2L LBCL were enrolled in the confirmatory cohort, which prospectively evaluated the Company's partial HLA matching strategy. Five patients were enrolled in a cohort of third-line or later LBCL patients with prior exposure to CD19-targeted therapy. Additional information on the ANTLER trial (NCT04637763) can be found at clinicaltrials.gov.

**Caribou Biosciences Announces Positive Data from CaMMouflage Phase 1 Trial of CB-011 in Multiple Myeloma**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *First clinical data disclosure for CB-011 highlights its potential as a best-in-class allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *450 million cell dose is the recommended dose for expansion (RDE); dose expansion to initiate by year end and data expected in 2026*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *92% ORR, 75% ≥CR rate, 91% MRD negativity in the 12-patient, BCMA-naïve cohort treated at the RDE with the selected lymphodepletion regimen*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Conference call and webcast scheduled for today at 8:00 am ET*

BERKELEY, Calif., November 3, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Caribou Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRBU), a leading clinical-stage CRISPR genome-editing biopharmaceutical company, today announced its first clinical data from dose escalation in the ongoing CaMMouflage phase 1 trial evaluating CB-011, an off-the-shelf anti-BCMA CAR-T cell therapy, in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (r/r MM), highlighting CB-011 as a potentially best-in-class allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy for this patient population. The Company is advancing the program into dose expansion, which it expects to initiate by the end of this year, and the Company plans to share dose expansion data in 2026.

"Despite a rapidly advancing landscape of treatment options for multiple myeloma, challenges remain with only 10% of eligible patients receiving an autologous CAR-T," said Adriana Rossi, MD, director of CAR-T and stem cell transplant clinical program at the center of excellence for multiple myeloma at Mount Sinai, and an investigator on the CaMMouflage trial. "I believe the promising responses we are seeing with CB-011 combined with the off-the-shelf nature of this therapy could represent a paradigm shift for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. I am excited about the potential this holds for the large number of multiple myeloma patients who simply cannot wait for autologous CAR-T manufacturing and prefer a single dose approach."

In the dose escalation portion of the CaMMouflage phase 1 clinical trial, safety and efficacy of CB-011 were evaluated in 48 fourth-line and later (4L+) patients at multiple dose levels and following two different lymphodepletion regimens. Thirty-five patients were treated with the selected lymphodepletion (LD) regimen of 500 mg/m<sup>2</sup> cyclophosphamide and 30 mg/m<sup>2</sup> fludarabine daily for three days. A single dose of CB-011 preceded by the selected LD regimen resulted in responses at all dose levels evaluated (150x10<sup>6</sup> [N=6], 300x10<sup>6</sup> [N=13], 450x10<sup>6</sup> [N=13], and 800x10<sup>6</sup> [N=3] CAR-T cells). The 450x10<sup>6</sup> CAR-T cell dose with the selected LD regimen is the recommended dose for expansion (RDE). Twelve BCMA-naïve r/r MM patients were treated with the RDE. The median follow-up for patients dosed with the RDE was 8.3 months, and the longest responding patient is in a stringent complete response (sCR) at 15 months post-infusion. As of the September 24, 2025, data cutoff date, the results for the 12-patient, BCMA-naïve cohort treated with the RDE were as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 92% (11/12) overall response rate (ORR)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 75% (9/12) ≥complete response (CR) rate

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 91% (10/11 evaluable patients) achieved minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity (≤10<sup>-5</sup>)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 7 of 12 patients remained on study as of the data cutoff date in ≥very good partial response (VGPR) 6 months or longer following receipt of a single dose of CB-011

------

![img25401123_0.jpg](img25401123_0.jpg)

CB-011 had a manageable safety profile across all dose levels and lymphodepletion regimens (N=48), with no cases of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), immune effector cell-associated enterocolitis (IEC-EC), parkinsonism, or cranial nerve palsies. Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in ≥25% of all patients treated with CB-011 following the selected LD regimen (N=35) were as follows: neutropenia (80%), anemia (60%), thrombocytopenia (49%), infections (49%), dizziness (31%), cytokine release syndrome (31%), fatigue (31%), leukopenia (29%), decreased appetite (29%), constipation (26%), and pyrexia (26%). Notable adverse events in the RDE cohort included one CB-011-related grade 5 immune effector cell-associated hematotoxicity (ICAHT) on day 90, one grade 5 pneumonia not related to CB-011 on day 50, and one grade 4 CB-011-related Guillain-Barré Syndrome on day 129, which is resolving. In the cohort evaluating the 300x10<sup>6</sup> CAR-T cell dose level following the selected LD regimen, there was one grade 5 respiratory syncytial virus not related to CB-011 on day 73. Prophylactic measures for cytopenias and infections and early intervention for immune effector cell-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis-like syndrome (IEC-HS) have been successfully implemented in the protocol.

"We are very encouraged by the compelling results from the CaMMouflage phase 1 trial, which demonstrate that CB-011 is delivering deep, durable responses in high-risk, heavily pretreated multiple myeloma patients with a manageable safety profile. These data establish CB-011's potential to be a best-in-class allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy that could expand access and bring meaningful benefit to patients who urgently need a readily available, single-dose option," said Rachel Haurwitz, PhD, Caribou's president and chief executive officer. "We plan to initiate dose expansion before year end and to report dose expansion data, along with longer follow up on dose escalation data, in 2026."

**Webcast conference call today at 8:00 am ET**

**About CB-011**

CB-011 is an allogeneic anti-BCMA CAR-T cell therapy being evaluated in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (r/r MM) in the CaMMouflage phase 1 trial. To Caribou's knowledge, CB-011 is the first allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy in the clinic that is engineered to enable activity through an immune cloaking strategy with a B2M knockout and insertion of a B2M–HLA-E fusion

protein to blunt immune-mediated rejection. CB-011 has been granted Fast Track and Orphan Drug designations by the FDA.

**About the CaMMouflage phase 1 clinical trial**

The CaMMouflage clinical trial is a multicenter, open-label phase 1 trial evaluating CB-011 in adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (r/r MM) who have been treated with three or more prior lines of therapy. Using a 3+3 dose escalation design, safety and efficacy of CB-011 were evaluated in 48 patients at multiple dose levels and two different lymphodepletion regimens. Thirteen patients were treated with a single dose of CB-011 (50x10<sup>6</sup> [N=3], 150x10<sup>6</sup> [N=7], and 450x10<sup>6</sup> [N=3] CAR-T cells) with a lymphodepletion (LD) regimen of 300 mg/m<sup>2</sup> cyclophosphamide and 30 mg/m<sup>2</sup> fludarabine daily for three days, and 35 patients were treated with a single dose of CB-011 (150x10<sup>6</sup> [N=6], 300x10<sup>6</sup> [N=13], 450x10<sup>6</sup> [N=13], and 800x10<sup>6</sup> [N=3] CAR-T cells) with a LD regimen of 500 mg/m<sup>2</sup> cyclophosphamide and 30 mg/m<sup>2</sup> fludarabine daily for three days. The dose expansion portion of the trial will evaluate safety and efficacy of CB-011 at 450x10<sup>6</sup> CAR-T cells with the selected LD of 500 mg/m<sup>2</sup> cyclophosphamide and 30 mg/m<sup>2</sup> fludarabine daily for three days. Additional information on the CaMMouflage trial (NCT05722418) can be found at clinicaltrials.gov.

As a result of these risks, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this presentation are made only as of the date hereof. Except to the extent required by law, the Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this presentation or to conform these statements to actual or revised expectations. Inherent limitations of comparisons with other immunotherapies Caution should be exercised when interpreting results from separate trials involving other immunotherapies. The clinical trial results of other immunotherapies presented or referenced in these slides have been derived from publicly available reports of clinical trials not conducted by the Company, and the Company has not performed any head-to-head trials comparing any of these other immunotherapies with vispa-cel or CB-011. As such, the results of these other clinical trials may not be comparable to clinical results for vispa-cel or CB-011 and may not accurately reflect the true relative efficacy and safety advantages of vispa-cel or CB-011 in comparison to the other immunotherapies presented. The designs of these other trials vary in material ways from the design of the clinical trial for vispa-cel or CB-011, including with respect to patient populations, follow-up times, the clinical trial phase, and subject characteristics. Most of the other trials presented or referenced in these slides have greater patient populations and patient cohorts and longer follow-up times. Accordingly, it is possible that when vispa-cel or CB-011 is evaluated in equally large patient populations over an equally long time period, their safety and efficacy benefits relative to other immunotherapies may be diminished or eliminated. As a result, cross-trial comparisons may have no interpretive value on vispa-cel or CB-011's existing or future results. For further information and to understand these material differences, you should read the reports for the other immunotherapies' clinical trials and the sources included in this presentation. This presentation discusses product candidates that have not yet been approved for marketing by the FDA. No representation is made as to the safety or effectiveness of these product candidates for the therapeutic uses for which they are being evaluated. From time to time, the Company may release additional data from its ANTLER phase 1 clinical trial and its CaMMouflage phase 1 clinical trial. The Company makes no representations regarding such additional clinical data or the timing of its release, or whether any such data will support or contradict the findings of any clinical data reported earlier. This presentation shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. 3 Caribou clinical data \| November 3, 2025©2025 Caribou Biosciences, Inc. 1 Initial safety and efficacy data on the confirmatory cohort (20 patients) with partial HLA matching, with a minimum of six months of follow up for the majority of patients, as well as an update on the larger, maturing dataset presented previously.
