Clinical-stage precision targeting for solid tumors using clonal neoantigen-reactive T cells (cNeT)
Targeting clonal neoantigens: a novel class of cancer target present on all tumor cells
We have developed a proprietary patent protected AI platform (PELEUS®) that is validated on real world patient data (TRACERx) and which can be used to identify personal clonal neoantigens
Controlled precision therapy
Scientific platform that can quantify, characterize and track tumor reactive T cells, target engagement and mechanism of action
Emerging PoC for cNeT in NSCLC
Durable disease control achieved with cNeT monotherapy, 71% (5/7) NSCLC patients (including 1 PR and 4 SDs) with encouraging safety and tolerability
Near-term clinical milestones
Clinical and translational updates in 2023: 15-20 new patients across NSCLC (CHIRON) monotherapy and melanoma (THETIS) monotherapy and in combination with check-point inhibitor (anti-PD-1)
Strong cash position supports all planned operations into mid-2025
Cash runway of $173M (£143M) as of December 31, 2022

Achilles Therapeutics plc is a United Kingdom-based clinical-stage immuno-oncology biopharmaceutical company. The Company is engaged in developing precision T cell therapies to treat multiple types of solid tumors. Its lead product is a precision tumor-derived T cell therapy targeting clonal cancer neoantigens. Its pipeline includes Chiron: Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Thetis: Melanoma (Monotherapy), Thetis: Melanoma (PD-1 Combination), and other indications. It is focused on advancing cancer therapies through its work in the field of tumor evolution. Its platform enables to identify mutations formed early in the development of a cancer that give rise to antigens that are expressed by all of a patient's cancer cells but are absent from healthy tissue. It refers to this class of solid tumor targets as clonal neoantigens. To identify clonal neoantigens in a patient, it has developed a bioinformatic platform called PELEUS.
