Fate Therapeutics reports Q2 EPS (54c), consensus (59c)

Reports Q2 revenue $933,000, consensus $5.53M. “We have shown great resilience in advancing our most innovative and differentiated programs while reducing expenses during the first six months of 2023, creating an operating runway into the second half of 2025 that enables us to achieve key milestones across our pipeline,” said Scott Wolchko, president and CEO of Fate Therapeutics. “We have commenced Phase 1 study start-up activities for our FT522 ADR-armed, CD19-targeted CAR NK cell program for B-cell lymphoma, where we intend to assess FT522 with and without administration of conditioning chemotherapy to patients. We have also initiated GMP manufacturing of FT825/ONO-8250 under our solid tumor collaboration with ONO Pharmaceutical, and plan to submit an IND application in the second half of 2023 for this multiplexed-engineered, HER2-targeted CAR T-cell program. Finally, we continue to preclinically assess the potential of our off-the-shelf, iPSC-derived cellular immunotherapies to selectively target and durably deplete pathogenic immune cells, and are evaluating opportunities for clinical expansion into autoimmunity.”
