Fate Therapeutic Stock Price, News & Analysis

Fate Therapeutics reported Q3 2024 financial results and clinical updates. Key highlights include initial clinical data from three Phase 1 studies: FT819 in autoimmunity, FT522 in B-cell lymphoma, and FT825/ONO-8250 in solid tumors. The company reported $330.5 million in cash and investments, with Q3 revenue of $3.1 million and operating expenses of $55.5 million. FT819's Phase 1 study in lupus patients showed no significant safety concerns, and a new treatment arm without conditioning chemotherapy was opened. FT522 received FDA approval for a multi-indication IND in autoimmune diseases, while FT825 demonstrated favorable safety profiles in initial low-dose cohorts.

Fate Therapeutics (NASDAQ: FATE) presented initial clinical and preclinical data for FT825/ONO-8250, a CAR T-cell therapy targeting HER2 in advanced solid tumors. The Phase 1 study's first low-dose cohort of three heavily pre-treated patients showed favorable safety outcomes with no dose-limiting toxicities or adverse events. The therapy demonstrated CAR T-cell expansion and maintained activation state at Day 8 post-treatment.

The product incorporates a novel H2CasMab-2 binding domain designed to overcome on-target, off-tumor toxicity. Preclinical data showed selective targeting of cancer cells while limiting effects on normal HER2+ cells. The study continues enrollment at higher doses and in combination with EGFR-targeted antibody therapy.

Fate Therapeutics presented preclinical data for FT836, a novel CAR T-cell product candidate targeting MICA/B proteins expressed on cancer cells, at the 2024 SITC Annual Meeting. FT836 incorporates the company's Sword & Shield technology, designed to promote functional persistence without conditioning chemotherapy. The preclinical data demonstrated robust antigen-mediated expansion and durable anti-tumor activity across various solid tumors. The product uniquely targets the α3 domain of MICA/B, stabilizing expression and inducing cytolytic killing of tumor cells. Notably, treatment with chemotherapy or radiation therapy enhanced FT836's cytolytic activity, suggesting potential combination therapy opportunities.
