Profiling $IPSC:

This is a newer company that recently IPO'd. They are still in the lock up period until mid December. I don't know anything about their management yet. They are working on iPSC cell manufacturing using CRISPR MAD7 editing.

1/ The MAD7 resembles the Cfp1 CAS enzyme. They are focused on developing 2 NK cell programs as their lead programs. They have CNTY-101 which is a standard CD19 and they have CNTY-103 which has CD133.

2/ They are targeting GBM with CNTY-103 which makes this a completely unique program compared to what some other companies are doing. They have some other early CAR-NK and CAR-T programs in development using iPSC.

3/ I think the classic CD19 could be worth up to $500 million in sales. The GBM indication is much harder to value, but I think it could do $500 million. I would put the value of this company at around $1.5 billion or $27 per share.

4/ This makes $IPSC one of the higher risk, but cheaper plays on the iPSC manufacturing of cell therapies. They have no data yet, but are progressing toward the clinic.

5/ They do seem to lack some of the more advanced edits other companies are doing with the editing in their early programs. They lack PD-1 knockout. I don't know if they are inserting into the TRAC locus either. I didn't see any hypoimmune edits.

6/ They do mention the addition of hypoimmune on their science page so I think its something they are working toward. Their concept for multi CAR is very awesome idea.

7/ This system uses the FAB region of the antibody just like any CAR, but ties it to a unique binding domain. The universal CAR will bind to that domain and kill the cells that are binding the FAB region.

9/ This means they could give multiple FAB's for many antigens and have the CAR-T or CAR-NK cells just clean up all those antigens.

My game plan updated:

I am still into the buy the dips and sell every rip. I think the collapse in the bubbles in the biotech space are just getting started.

Pathways:

$BPMC 3.36% core position
$TPTX 3.36% core position
$RVMD 2.02% expendable into any big rally
$ERAS 1.34% expendable into any big rally
$RLAY 2.02% expendable into any big rally

Synthetic Lethality:

$MRTX 3.36% core position
$SDGR 2.02% working to pay off core position
$RPTX 2.69% working to pay off core position

Profiling $CABA:

I have been in this company for about 8 months now. I think the management is good, but way too early to tell. They are my small cap high risk play.

1/ They are using CAAR-T to target autoimmune disorders. They use a CAAR receptor that encodes a self antigen that drives auto immune disease. The concept is the self reactive B cells should target binding to the CAAR receptor and the T cell would kill them.

2/ Based on the really low level of memory B cells in the body, it could be very difficult to clear them out. Its a high risk play, but if it works, it could be a huge opportunity.

Profiling $TIL:

This is a newer company that just went off its lock up period. I don't know the management that well, but it can't be any worse than the disastrous $IOVA. That company is completely broken.

1/ They are working on Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL). This is the most successful use of TCR therapies in solid tumors. This starts with removing a met or doing a biopsy of the tumor. It takes that tumor and breaks it down to get all the antigens for that specific patient.

2/ Those tumor antigens are introduced to the patient's own T cells in the lab to activate them toward those antigens. Those T cells are then put back into the patient with PD1 to target and kill all tumor cells and mets.

Profiling $CRBU:

This is a new IPO and they are still within the lock up period until late January. I have followed them as a private company at the ARM conferences as part of my overall CRISPR research for years.

1/ I can safely say I feel this is a good management team at this early stage of the game. They are the original CRISPR company holding all the original patents. They also pioneered new technology with chRDNA.

2/ I classify them as cell therapies because that is where their focus is. They have 3 allogeneic CAR-T programs in development while building an iPSC manufacturing for iNK and iT cells.

Profiling $SANA:

I have only been in $SANA for about 6 months, but I really like their 2 franchises. I also like their management team, although, I don't know them that well.

1/ Their first franchise is the Fusogen programs. This is all about delivering any genetic payload to cells. Their fusogen platform uses virus like particles. If we treated this as a stand alone biotech, I would value it around $1 billion to $1.5 billion.

2/ Their second platform is working to build iPSC manufacturing around hypoimmune cells. This will be right along the lines of what $FATE has built. I would also value this platform around $1 billion to $1.5 billion.

Profiling $FATE:

I have been in and out of $FATE for over 3 years now. I first bought it back in 2018. I kept the company all the way up till $100 where it just seemed to expensive sold I sold it and waited. I recently started buying a little back.

1/ They are the pioneer of the iPSC platform. I remember when they started with allogenic NK cells which since then they dropped. They also had ProTmune which was a stem cell product for transplants. They also discontinued that program.

2/ If we are really counting the track record, they had a lot of wrong answers until they had a right one. What they learned from engineering stem cells and NK cells led to the programs they have today.
