Cellectis: Showcasing Encouraging Data, But Still Early To Make A Run Like This

Summary Cellectis is downgraded to Hold after a 150% rally, as valuation now outpaces near-term catalysts. Lasme-cel's phase 2 data in R/R-ALL show promising CR/CRi rates, but pivotal readout timelines remain unclear. CLLS's cash runway extends into H2 2027, yet likely insufficient for full approval and commercialization without additional funding. Cell therapy sector headwinds and unresolved UCART19 licensing disputes add risk, suggesting patience for a better entry point. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Cellectis: Poised To Start Answering Questions In 2025

Summary Cellectis S.A.'s pipeline updates highlight promising advancements in engineered, allogeneic cell therapies. The financial overview indicates a strong cash position, but ongoing R&D expenses pose a risk to its longevity. Key data updates are coming in 2025 that will give us a look at their lead program in a larger population. Bottom-line: Based on these catalysts and relative financial stability, I am revising my sentiment upward for now, but this still has a lot of risk. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Cellectis: Cheap With Promising But Speculative Cancer Therapies

Summary Cellectis S.A. leverages its UCART platform and TALEN gene-editing technology to develop innovative, off-the-shelf CAR-T therapies for cancer treatment. UCART22, a key candidate in Cellectis’s pipeline, shows promising efficacy and safety for ALL with CLLS52. The company's promising pipeline also includes UCART20x22 for NHL with a favorable safety profile. However, Cellectis' IP remains in Phase 1 or earlier stages, making it a long-term speculative commitment for investors. Despite its speculative nature, Cellectis S.A.'s cheap valuation and sufficient resources make it a viable long-term biotech investment for those who accept the inherent biotech risks.

Cellectis Offers An Idiosyncratic Risk Profile With Remarkable Upside Potential

Cellectis: FYE 2021 TALEN CAR-T Data Announcement Should Catalyse Strong Upside

Cellectis S.A. is an early clinical-stage immuno-oncology biotechnology company specializing in gene-edited T-cells that express chimeric antigen receptors for treating cancer. Cellectis offers a specialization in gene-editing enabling their CAR-T product candidates to have additional safety and efficacy attributes alongside healthy tissue-protective measures enabling high tolerance oncology therapeutics. Cellectis' pipeline has 7-internal candidates and 5-external candidates with internal clinical-stage indications covering acute lymphoblastic leukemia (UCART22: Phase 1), acute myeloid leukemia (UCART123: Phase 1), and multiple myeloma (UCARTCS1: Phase 1). Cellectis is not in the greatest financial position with cash of $211M (March 2021) pulled down by -$169M in TTM cash burn equating to about 1.25 years of operational funding, but in April 2021 Cellectis ran their +$45.5M ATM offering while the company states it should fund operations into early 2023. In summary, the author projects Cellectis S.A. as a "buy" at a 3-4 year price target of $70 (+382% upside).
