@SparingVision @intelliatx 16/As of 12/31/23 $NTLA had capital resources of $1B & quarterly R&D expenses of $109M. IMO despite the high cash burn, @intelliatx’s current cash position of ~ $1B will enable it to continue in developing its pipeline & to initiate additional acquisitions and collaborations. As of 12/31/23 Intellia had capital resources of 1 billion dollars and quarterly research and development expenses of 109 million dollars. In my opinion despite the high cash burn, Intellia’s current cash position of approximately 1 billion dollars will enable it to continue in developing its pipeline and to initiate additional acquisitions and collaborations.
@SparingVision @intelliatx 17/@intelliatx remains very promising due to its broad collaboration agreements alongside a diverse pipeline. After receiving an IND clearance for $NTLA-2001 thus clearing the way to the US market & advancing $NTLA-2002 into Phase 3 - ‘24 is expected to be a strong year for $NTLA intellia remains very promising due to its broad collaboration agreements alongside a diverse pipeline.

1/🚨WOW! $CRBU has presented updated clinical data from @CaribouBio ongoing CB-011 CaMMouflage phase 1 clinical trial in cancer patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (r/r MM). The CB-011 CaMMouflage phase 1 translational and clinical data - which was presented at the 2026 Tandem Meetings of ASTCT and CIBMTR, demonstrated deep and durable responses and further support the potential of CB-011 as the best-in-class allogeneic CAR-T Cell Therapy for second-line relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients. $XBI 🧵👇WOW! $CRBU has presented updated clinical data from its ongoing CB-011 CaMMouflage phase 1 clinical trial in cancer patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (r/r MM).

2/Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that develops in the patient’s bone marrow when plasma cells become cancerous and produce abnormal proteins instead of functional antibodies. Common symptoms include persistent bone pain (often back or ribs), fatigue, frequent infections, kidney damage and high calcium levels. While modern treatments (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, stem cell transplants) can manage the disease for years - Multiple myeloma is still considered incurable and present a significant unmet medical need.Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that develops in the patient’s bone marrow when plasma cells become cancerous and produce abnormal proteins instead of functional antibodies.

Here’s my post which focuses on PRIME’s new prioritised pipeline, the progress Prime has made during 2025 and its current corporate status.
2/@PrimeMedicine’s proprietary platform - Prime Editing is the only Gene Editing platform which can edit, correct, insert or even delete large DNA sequences in any target tissue. This makes it the most advanced & promising editing technology with $PRME owing its full IP rights. Prime Medicine’s proprietary platform - Prime Editing is the only Gene Editing platform which can edit, correct, insert or even delete large DNA sequences in any target tissue.

3/IMO the most important key takeaway from @primemedicine’s #JPM26 presentation is that in 2026 $PRME intends to submit INDs and to initiate clinical trails for both of its key programs - PM577 for Wilson’s disease and PM647 for AATD. Moving forward with its liver franchise and providing positive human clinical data are a threshold for $PRME to enter into a significant collaboration with a big Pharma company.Image
