Atara Biotherapeutics: Another Dip Buying Opportunity Following CRL For CMC Issues

Summary Atara has just announced a CRL by FDA for EBVALLO. EBVALLO is already approved in Europe since December 2022 and the cause of the CRL seems minor and easily addressable. The CRL has a major impact on cash runway, considering delay in milestone payments related to approval as well as future royalties. Nevertheless, ATRA remains eligible for these future payments. This forced ATRA to suspend its CAR-T pipeline in search for strategic alternatives. On the bright side, this creates another short-term catalyst and allows ATRA to focus resources on EBVALLO. ATRA estimates that available cash along a newly announced $15M equity line of credit are sufficient to fund operations through approval, but the risk of further cash raise is real.

Atara Biotherapeutics: An Underestimated Contender In Autoimmune Diseases CAR-T Cell Therapy

Summary Atara Biotherapeutics is a biotech company developing allogeneic EBV T cells for oncology and autoimmune indications, with a world-first allogeneic CAR-T approval in Europe and nearing FDA approval. Assuming no regulatory delays ATRA is well-funded to deliver proof-of-concept clinical data for its CAR-T platform in both B-cell malignancies and lupus, with an estimated cash runway into 2027. Despite fierce competition, ATRA's differentiated CAR-T platform combines all the best attributes of the competition, thus having a best-in-class potential. The major short-term risk is regulatory delays, meaning delays in pending regulatory milestone payments, which would likely necessitate a cash raise. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
