  • All tab-cel activities and costs have been transferred to Pierre Fabre, expanding their global commercialization rights.

  • Multiple workforce reductions in 2025, reducing headcount to approximately 15 by October and implementing a 29% reduction.

  • Allogeneic CAR T cell programs and other pipeline assets were paused or discontinued, with rights to certain programs returned to partners.

  • Q3 2025 net loss was $4.3 million ($0.32 per share), compared to $21.9 million ($2.93 per share) in Q3 2024.

  • Commercialization revenue was $119.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, up from $96.2 million year-over-year.

Outlook and guidance

  • Eligible for a $40 million milestone payment upon FDA approval of tab-cel BLA, plus double-digit tiered royalties and additional milestones.

  • Cash and investments, plus the anticipated milestone, are expected to provide significant runway, but current resources are insufficient to fund operations for 12 months beyond the report date.

  • Additional capital will be required in the near term, with plans to seek funding through equity, debt, or strategic transactions.

  • Full-year 2025 operating expenses expected to decrease by at least 60% versus 2024 due to cost transitions and operational efficiencies.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
