44th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference summary
14 Jan, 2026Clinical progress and patient outcomes
Achieved transformative clinical results in SPS and MG, with significant improvements in mobility, reduction in treatment burden, and durable responses up to two years post-treatment.
SPS trial met all primary and secondary endpoints, with 80%+ of patients achieving clinically meaningful responses, many discontinuing walking aids, and 100% elimination of off-label immunotherapies.
MG Phase II data showed unprecedented disease control, 100% clinically meaningful response, and freedom from immunosuppressants, with rapid progression to Phase III.
Over 100 patients treated with Mivcel, showing a favorable safety profile and no high-grade adverse events, supporting outpatient use.
Early MS data indicate improvement in EDSS scores, suggesting potential for expansion into additional autoimmune indications.
Regulatory and commercialization strategy
Established clear regulatory pathways for SPS and MG, with FDA alignment, RMAT and ODD designations, and a BLA filing for SPS planned in the first half of 2026.
Positioned to be first-to-market in SPS, followed by MG, with launch readiness by year-end 2026.
Commercialization strategy focuses on activating high-volume treatment centers, leveraging synergies between SPS and MG, and optimizing patient and center experience.
Engaged with patient advocacy groups and academic centers to drive awareness and access, focusing on refractory patient populations.
Ex-US opportunities are being assessed, but initial focus remains on the U.S. market.
Market opportunity and financial position
SPS market includes 5,500–6,000 diagnosed patients, with 2,000–2,500 in urgent need; MG refractory population estimated at 12,000 immediately addressable patients.
High cost of current therapies and chronic treatment burden create a strong value proposition for a one-time CAR-T therapy, with pricing expected at or above current CAR-T levels.
Favorable patient demographics: two-thirds of SPS patients are working age, 85% have inadequate response to current therapies, and 90% have Medicare or commercial insurance.
Ended the year with $279 million in cash, supported by equity and debt financing, with a runway into 2028 and up to $150 million available from an Oxford loan facility.
Financial resources expected to fully fund SPS BLA filing, commercial launch, and Phase 3 gMG trial.
