Cellectis reports Q4 EPS (64c) vs (17c) last year

Reports Q4 revenue $1.99M vs $33.22M last year. “2024 has been an important year for Cellectis (CLLS): we are now developing three programs in collaboration with AstraZeneca (AZN). So far, we announced the start of one allogeneic CAR T for hematological malignancies, one program of an allogeneic CAR T for solid tumors, and first program of an in vivo gene therapy for a genetic disorder. We are thrilled to grow this strategic collaboration with AstraZeneca, a top leader of the pharmaceutical industry, aimed at shaping the future of next generation of cell and gene therapy. We are excited about the huge opportunities this partnership will bring in the months ahead” said Andre Choulika, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer at Cellectis. “AstraZeneca’s additional equity investment of $140M in Cellectis and the drawdown of the final tranche of the finance contract with the European Investment Bank (EIB) give us confidence that our cash runway is funded until mid-2027. In 2025, Cellectis will continue to focus its efforts and expenses on advancing its core clinical trials BALLI-01 and NATHALI-01, while building the next generation of genomic medicines to address areas of high unmet patient needs within, our partnership with AstraZeneca, and within our proprietary preclinical pipeline. We expect to present the Phase 1 data set and late-stage development strategy in the third quarter of 2025 for UCART22, for the treatment of r/r ALL. For our product candidate UCART20x22, in r/r NHL, we continue to focus on the enrollment of patients and expects readout in late 2025.”
