Forward guidance

Lineage anticipates several events and milestones in 2023, including publications, regulatory submissions, clinical trial initiations, and potential new partnerships.

Tailwinds

  • Further progression of allogeneic cell therapy programs
  • Responsible investments in the expansion of novel approach to cell transplant medicine
  • Continued support of both newly established and existing collaborations
  • Potential for Phase 2a clinical study of OpRegen to be informative
  • Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities expected to support planned operations into Q3 2024

Headwinds

  • Need to allocate cash to unexpected events and expenses causing us to use our cash more quickly than expected
  • Positive findings in early clinical and/or nonclinical studies of a product candidate may not be predictive of success in subsequent clinical and/or nonclinical studies of that candidate
  • Competing alternative therapies may adversely impact the commercial potential of OpRegen
  • Roche and Genentech may not successfully advance OpRegen or be successful in completing further clinical trials for OpRegen and/or obtaining regulatory approval for OpRegen in any particular jurisdiction
  • Lineage may not be able to manufacture sufficient clinical quantities of its product candidates in accordance with current good manufacturing practice
