Curis' CA-4948 is a first-in-class IRAK4 inhibitor that is in clinical development for AML/MDS and NHL. It's estimated that over 50% of AML patients have the IRAK4-L isoform, providing a nice patient population that could be eligible for this therapy. The company provided a recent update in anticipation of the European Hematology Association meeting in early June. They showed 8 out of 9 patients receiving some benefit from the treatment with 4 patients having a strong response (CR or CRi). In this video, I go through the company's clinical programs and evaluate what we can look forward to next. I also touch on $ANVS and $SIOX.

Trillium Therapeutics is acquired by Pfizer for $2.26B! Finally, the small-mid cap biotech sectors sees good news with M&A activity that rippled through the sector. In this video, I talk about a few other companies that have CD47 assets that should see tailwinds from the TRIL acquisition.

I also talk about the recent controversy surrounding Cassava Sciences and the citizen's petition filing with the FDA. A package was provided to the FDA alleging misconduct and requesting a halt on further clinical development of Simufilam. I talk about how we got here and what's next in the saga.

The other companies mentioned in this video are $ALXO $STTK $TGTX $CRTX $CYCN $YMTX $ALEC $ANVS $AVXL $APLS

CRISPR is an exciting space, with a number of companies finally sharing early clinical data in 2021. NTLA benefitted the most from this by doubling in valuation after data release, while the other CRISPR companies continue to trend lower in the XBI bear market. Caribou Biosciences is one of the smaller EV CRISPR companies with their first clinical readout coming up in 2022. In this episode, I go through a short primer on all the CRISPR companies and discuss why I think Caribou will have a great year.

2022 is on track for another exciting year in biotech - despite the early sell off in the XBI. In this episode, I cover the trends to watch including a number of targets in oncology. As well, Curis reported a data update in their two programs: CA-4948 and CI-8993. The stock sold off by 25% but I explain why I plan on continuing to hold the stock.

REGENXBIO and Abbvie announce a collaboration to co-develop RGX-314 for the treatment of wet AMD, diabetic retinopathy and other chronic retinal diseases. This massive announcement puts a lot of resources behind the commercialization efforts of RGX-314 in anticipation of an eventual approval. In the short-term, $RGNX benefits from a large upfront payment as well as upcoming milestone payments. $RGNX/$CLSD are about to announce Cohort 1 data from their SCS wet AMD trial, which if positive, will be very bullish for the company. I talk about what I'm looking forward to here. As we approach Q4, a number of interesting oncology companies are set to provide updates in their clinical programs. Companies I have my eye on are: $ONCT, $CRIS, $BTAI and $PDSB and in this video, I discuss where they are in their programs and how I feel about them as potential investments.

$RGNX/$CLSD/$ABBV - 1:05 $APLS - 7:30 $ONCT - 15:20 $CRIS - 21:28 $BTAI - 26:00 $PDSB - 32:29

Sangamo Therapeutics is clinical-stage biotech company looking to commercialize a number of assets for the treatment of disease. Their furthest along program is a gene therapy treatment for Hemophilia A. The sector has seen some recent upsets with the FDA issuing a CRL to Biomarin for their HemA gene therapy, as well as some safety concerns with Uniqure and Bluebird Bio. Sangamo also has a number Phase 1/2 programs that will have readouts in late 2021 as well as a large preclinical pipeline. They have been able to leverage a number of partnerships with Pharmaceutical companies that has led to significant cash payments and equity purchases.

In this episode, I share an email exchange I had with the SVP, Head of Business Development at Sangamo, Melita Sun Jung.

I also discuss updates from BioXcel and Bluebird Bio.
