Forward guidance

Caribou plans to meet with the FDA to discuss a potential pivotal clinical trial in second-line LBCL patients and plans to share FDA feedback by YE 2023. The Company also plans to report initial dose expansion data in second-line LBCL patients from the ongoing ANTLER trial in H1 2024. Updates on dose escalation are expected as the CaMMouflage Phase 1 clinical trial in r/r MM advances, and an IND application for r/r AML is planned for submission in H2 2023.

Tailwinds

  • CB-010: Plan to share FDA feedback by YE 2023.
  • CB-010: Plan to report initial dose expansion data in second-line LBCL patients from the ongoing ANTLER trial in H1 2024.
  • CB-011: Plan to provide updates on dose escalation as the CaMMouflage Phase 1 clinical trial in r/r MM advances.
  • CB-012: Plan to submit an IND application for r/r AML in H2 2023.
  • Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and net proceeds from the recent public offering will be sufficient to fund its current operating plan into Q4 2025.

Headwinds

  • Risks inherent in the development of cell therapy products.
  • Uncertainties related to the initiation, cost, timing, progress, and results of Caribou’s current and future research and development programs, preclinical studies, and clinical trials.
  • The risk that initial, preliminary, or interim clinical trial data will not ultimately be predictive of the safety and efficacy of Caribou’s product candidates or that clinical outcomes may differ as patient enrollment continues and as more patient data becomes available.
  • The risk that preclinical study results observed will not be borne out in human patients or different conclusions or considerations are reached once additional data have been received and fully evaluated.
  • Other risk factors described from time to time in Caribou’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
