Forward guidance
Caribou expects to disclose initial data from the ongoing ANTLER Phase 1 trial in patients with relapsed or refractory B-NHL in 2022 and expects to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for its CB-011 program in 2022.
Tailwinds
- CB-010: Caribou expects to disclose initial data from the ongoing ANTLER Phase 1 trial in patients with relapsed or refractory B-NHL in 2022.
- CB-010 is an allogeneic anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy derived from healthy donor T cells engineered using Cas9 chRDNA technology to introduce a CD19-specific CAR into the TRAC gene locus, thus eliminating expression of the T cell receptor to reduce the risk of graft versus host disease.
- CB-011: Caribou expects to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for its CB-011 program in 2022.
- CB-011 is an allogeneic anti-BCMA CAR-T cell therapy derived from healthy donor T cells that is being developed as a potential treatment for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
- CB-012: Caribou expects to file an IND application for its CB-012 program in 2023.
Headwinds
- Risks inherent in drug development such as those associated with the initiation, cost, timing, progress, and results of current and future research and development programs, preclinical studies, and clinical trials
- Risks described from time to time in Caribou’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its final prospectus filed on July 23, 2021.
- Net loss was $21.0 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2020.
- The company recorded a non-cash expense of $2.4 million related to the change in fair value of the success payments liability under its license agreement with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in the third quarter of 2021, primarily related to the increase in the fair value of Caribou’s common stock following the IPO.
- General and administrative expenses were $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2020.
