Welcome to our dedicated page for Cue Biopharma news (Ticker: CUE), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Cue Biopharma stock.
Cue Biopharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: CUE) is a pioneering clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company located in Boston, Massachusetts. The company focuses on developing a novel class of injectable biologics designed to selectively engage and modulate disease-specific T cells directly within the patient's body. Cue Biopharma’s proprietary platform, Immuno-STAT™ (Selective Targeting and Alteration of T cells), aims to harness the body’s intrinsic immune system as T cell engagers, minimizing the need for ex vivo manipulation and broad systemic immune modulation.
The company's leading clinical programs include CUE-101 and CUE-102. CUE-101 is being evaluated for the treatment of recurrent/metastatic HPV16+ head and neck squamous cell carcinoma both as a monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®). Recent data from Phase 1 trials have shown promising results, including prolonged overall survival and enhanced clinical activity when combined with pembrolizumab.
CUE-102 targets Wilms' Tumor 1 (WT1)-expressing cancers such as colorectal, gastric, and pancreatic cancers. Early Phase 1 trial data for CUE-102 has demonstrated expansion of WT1-specific T cells and favorable tolerability, pointing to potential therapeutic benefits for cancers resistant to traditional treatments.
Additionally, Cue Biopharma is advancing its preclinical program CUE-401 for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases in collaboration with Ono Pharmaceutical. This program aims to redirect virus-specific T cells to deplete B cells in autoimmune conditions.
Financially, Cue Biopharma reported increased collaboration revenue due to its strategic agreement with Ono Pharmaceutical. Despite higher research and development expenses, the company maintains a strong cash position, with approximately $41 million in cash and equivalents expected to fund operations into the first quarter of 2025. The management team, led by CEO Daniel Passeri, continues to focus on strategic corporate objectives, including potential registrational trials for CUE-101 and advancing other therapeutic candidates.
With an experienced leadership and independent Board of Directors, Cue Biopharma is well-positioned to make significant strides in the fields of oncology and autoimmune disease treatment, aiming to deliver transformative therapies for patients while creating value for its shareholders.
On March 21, 2023, Cue Biopharma reported significant advancements in its clinical initiatives and financial results for 2022. The FDA accepted its IND application for CUE-102 targeting WT1-expressing cancers and started a Phase 1 trial. CUE-101 received Fast Track Designation for HPV+ head and neck cancers. The 2022 collaboration revenue dipped to $1.2 million from $14.9 million in 2021, while net losses increased to $53 million, affected by reduced research funding and expenses. However, cash reserves rose to $76.3 million, expected to support operations until late 2024. The company aims to present updated data on its oncology programs in upcoming conferences.
Cue Biopharma (Nasdaq: CUE) will host a conference call and webcast on March 21, 2023, at 4:30 p.m. EDT to discuss business and clinical updates.
