Kyverna Therapeutics: The Autoimmune CAR T Beachhead Is Bigger Than SPS
Kyverna Therapeutics is positioned to pioneer the autoimmune CAR T space, leveraging miv-cel as a potential first-in-class therapy for severe B-cell-driven autoimmune diseases. Recent regulatory alignment enables a rolling BLA submission for SPS, with pivotal single-arm Phase 2 data showing strong efficacy and safety, targeting FDA approval by late 2026. KYTX maintains a cash runway through 2028, supported by $236M in cash and a $150M credit facility, enabling completion of key trials and commercial launch preparation.
Allogene Therapeutics: A High-Upside Bet On The Next Wave Of CAR-T Innovation
Allogene Therapeutics offers upside potential driven by the pivotal ALPHA3 trial for Cema-cel in first-line large B-cell lymphoma, with a key readout in mid-2027. ALLO-329's early clinical signals in autoimmune disease, leveraging proprietary Dagger technology, set up a differentiated, scalable CAR-T platform with high-value optionality. ALLO demonstrates improving financial discipline, reducing quarterly net loss to $42.6M and extending cash runway into early 2029 following a $200.4M public offering.
