In a report released on March 14, Thomas Smith from Leerink Partners maintained a Buy rating on Cartesian Therapeutics (RNAC – Research Report), with a price target of $39.00.
Thomas Smith has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Cartesian Therapeutics’ promising position in the biopharmaceutical sector. The company is advancing its lead program, Descartes-08, into a Phase 3 trial for generalized myasthenia gravis, supported by strong Phase 2 results that demonstrated significant efficacy and durability. This progression is bolstered by regulatory milestones, including the RMAT designation and FDA alignment on trial design, which enhance the potential for successful approval.
Furthermore, Cartesian Therapeutics is expanding its research into other autoimmune diseases, with upcoming data from a Phase 2 trial in systemic lupus erythematosus expected later in the year. The initiation of a Phase 2 basket trial in pediatric autoimmune conditions further underscores the company’s commitment to broadening its therapeutic impact. Overall, the company’s innovative mRNA CAR-T approach and strategic clinical advancements position it favorably within the competitive landscape, justifying the Buy rating.
