Overview

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of gamma-delta T cell product candidates and T cell engagers, or TCEs, for cancer and autoimmune diseases. We are the most clinically advanced gamma-delta T cell-focused company and are utilizing our suite of DeltEx platform technologies as we aspire to eliminate cancer cells to achieve our mission of what we refer to as Cancer Zero — the safe elimination of all cancer cells in every patient battling the disease. We develop ex vivo expanded and activated gamma-delta T cell candidates and TCEs based upon our deep expertise in gamma-delta T cell biology, proprietary genetic engineering, and cell-type specific manufacturing capabilities, which we refer to collectively as our DeltEx platform. Our platform employs allogeneic, autologous, induced pluripotent stem cell, or iPSC, genetically modified cell therapy approaches, and TCEs that are designed to effectively identify and eradicate malignant or pathogenic target cells.

To date, we have conducted two main investigator-sponsored Phase 1 clinical trials to test our gamma-delta T cell technologies in cancer patients. INB-100 tests our DeltEx Allogeneic gamma-delta T cells in older patients with high-risk leukemias undergoing haploidentical stem cell transplantation and INB-200/400 tests our DeltEx Drug Resistant Immunotherapy in newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients. Most recently we introduced INB-600, our proprietary and internally developed T cell engager platform. This platform represents a potentially revolutionary advancement in immunotherapy, harnessing the power of gamma-delta T cells through a distinctive mechanism that optimizes effector function and targeted cytotoxicity through an engager that mimics the function of an in vivo chimeric antigen receptor T cell, or CAR-T. We also have a portfolio of preclinical programs in development. These include INB-300, which is applicable to both solid and liquid tumors using a targeted non-signaling gamma-delta T cell based CAR-T, and INB-500, which encompasses our ability to produce gamma-delta T cells from iPSCs. iPSCs represent a significant step toward next generation approaches of cellular manufacturing for true allogeneic and potentially “off-the-shelf” innate cell therapies.

Corporate Information

On May 7, 2018, Incysus, Ltd. reincorporated in the United States in a domestication transaction in which Incysus, Ltd. converted into a newly formed Delaware corporation, Incysus Therapeutics, Inc. Upon the domestication, each Class A share of Incysus, Ltd. was automatically converted into one share of common stock of Incysus Therapeutics, Inc. and each Class B share of Incysus, Ltd. was automatically cancelled and did not convert into any shares of any class of capital stock of Incysus Therapeutics, Inc. In August 2020, we amended our certificate of incorporation, as amended, to change our name to IN8bio, Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 350 5th Avenue, Suite 5330, New York, New York 10118, and our telephone number is (646) 600-6438. Our corporate website address is www.in8bio.com. Information contained on, or accessible through, our website is not a part of this prospectus. We have included our website in this prospectus solely as an inactive textual reference.

“IN8BIO,” “INEIGHTBIO,” the IN8BIO logo, DeltEx and other trademarks, trade names or service marks of IN8bio, Inc. appearing in this prospectus are the property of IN8bio, Inc.

Private Placement

On December 18, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell shares of our common stock and, in lieu of common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of our common Stock, in up to two closings in a private placement (the “Private Placement”). The initial closing (the “Initial Closing”) of the Private Placement occurred on December 22, 2025. At the Initial Closing, we issued and sold to the selling stockholders, (i) with respect to certain selling stockholders, 4,931,375 PIPE Shares, and (ii) with respect to certain selling stockholders, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,452,677 Pre-Funded Warrant Shares. The purchase price per PIPE Share was $1.38, and the purchase price per Pre-Funded Warrant was $1.3799.

Certain of our directors and officers or their affiliates purchased an aggregate of 920,291 shares of our common stock at the Initial Closing, none of which are included in this registration statement.

Our total net proceeds from the sale of securities in the Initial Closing of the Private Placement, after deducting commissions to the placement agent and offering expenses, was approximately $18.6 million, which does not include any proceeds that may be received upon exercise of any Pre-Funded Warrants issued in the Initial Closing of the Private Placement.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, subject to the occurrence of certain preclinical data milestones in the INB-619 program and share price related conditions, or the waiver of such conditions by the investors holding a majority of the securities purchased in the Private Placement, we agreed to sell in a second closing up to an additional 14,579,706 shares of our common stock or pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in lieu of common stock, at the same price per share or pre-funded warrant, respectively, as at the Initial Closing.

Pre-Funded Warrants

Each Pre-Funded Warrant has an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, is exercisable immediately and is exercisable until the Pre-Funded Warrant is exercised in full. In lieu of making the cash payment upon exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrants.

Under the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants, we may not give effect to the exercise of any such Pre-Funded Warrant, and a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any such Pre-Funded Warrant, if, upon giving effect to such exercise, the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates, any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of common stock would or could be aggregated with the holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) would exceed a percentage set at the discretion of each holder of between 0% and 19.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, which percentage may be increased or decreased to any other percentage up to 19.99% at the holder’s election upon 61 days’ notice to us.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Private Placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the selling stockholders, pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale the PIPE Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares (together, the “Registrable Securities”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale by the selling stockholders of their Registrable Securities no later than 30 days following the Initial Closing, and to use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective at the earliest possible date after filing and in any case not more than 90 days following the filing.

The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is being filed in part to satisfy the requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements relate to future events or to our future operating or financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “design,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potentially,” “predict,” “should,” “will” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

In evaluating such forward-looking statements, you should consider various factors, including specifically the risks outlined under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K we subsequently file with the SEC. The discussion of risks and uncertainties set forth in those filings is not necessarily a complete or exhaustive list of all risks facing us at any particular point in time. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame or at all. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date such forward-looking statements are made.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

You should read this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement, together with the documents we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with a specific offering completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in the foregoing documents by these cautionary statements.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as filed with the SEC, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, as well any amendment or updates to our risk factors reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, including any applicable prospectus supplement. Our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference also contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks mentioned elsewhere in this prospectus. For more information, see the section entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.” Please also read carefully the section above entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock pursuant to this prospectus by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock offered hereunder.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders include shares of common stock issued by us in the Initial Closing of the Private Placement, consisting of the PIPE Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares. For additional information regarding the issuance of these securities in the Private Placement, see the section above entitled “Prospectus Summary—Private Placement.” We are registering the resale of shares of common stock issued to the selling stockholders and issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants in order to permit such selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time.

As used in this prospectus, the term “selling stockholders” includes the selling stockholders listed in the table below, together with any additional selling stockholders listed in a subsequent amendment to this prospectus, and their donees, pledgees, assignees, transferees, distributees or other successors-in-interest that receive shares in any non-sale transfer after the date of this prospectus.

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders as of January 12, 2026. This information has been obtained from the selling stockholders or in Schedules 13G or 13D and other public documents filed with the SEC. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to our common stock. Generally, a person “beneficially owns” shares of our common stock if the person has or shares with others the right to vote those shares or to dispose of them, or if the person has the right to acquire voting or disposition rights within 60 days. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of shares of common stock (including the PIPE Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants), as of January 12, 2026, assuming exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date for cash, without regard to any limitations on exercises. The percentage of shares owned after the offering in the fifth column is based on 9,766,132 shares of common stock outstanding as of January 12, 2026, plus, for each selling stockholder, the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants held by such selling stockholder. The third column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

In accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, this prospectus covers the resale of the sum of (i) the PIPE Shares and (ii) the maximum number of Pre-Funded Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, in each case held by the selling stockholders. This maximum amount is determined as if the outstanding Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised in full for cash as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See the section “Plan of Distribution.”

Except as otherwise disclosed herein, the selling stockholders do not have, and within the past three years have not had, any position, office or other material relationship with us, other than Emily Fairbairn, who is a member of our board of directors.

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling stockholders for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or

in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, or another available exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act (it being understood that the selling stockholders shall not be deemed to be underwriters solely as a result of their participation in this offering). Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus.

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to use reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part to become effective and to remain continuously effective until the earlier of: (i) the date on which the selling stockholders shall have resold or otherwise disposed of all the shares covered by this prospectus and (ii) the date on which the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.
