Fate Therapeutics reports Q1 EPS (30c), consensus (24c)

Reports Q1 revenue $2.63M, consensus $2.37M. “These past several months have been particularly inspiring for the Company, as we have delivered on our multi-year journey to be the first to bring iPSC-derived cell products to patients with cancer. We believe the ability to cost-effectively mass-produce cell-based cancer immunotherapies that can be safely delivered to patients ‘on demand’ in multiple doses has the potential to transform outcomes for many patients, especially when combined with therapeutic agents that have complementary mechanisms of action such as checkpoint inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies,” said Scott Wolchko, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fate Therapeutics. “We are very encouraged by the initial observations of safety and tolerability from the three patients who received multiple doses of FT500 in the first dose cohort, and we are excited with the initiation of the multi-dose checkpoint inhibitor combination arm where patients have previously progressed or failed therapy. In addition, we continue to make tremendous progress in advancing additional candidates from our off-the-shelf, iPSC-derived NK cell and T-cell product pipeline toward the clinic, and we look forward to generating initial clinical data with FT516 and FT596 in 2019.”
