Alaunos (TCRT) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
We expect investors to focus on pipeline updates when Alaunos Therapeutics (TCRT - Free Report) reports fourth-quarter 2022 results on Mar 7.
Shares of Alaunos Therapeutics have plunged 27.6% in the year compared with the industry’s decline of 13.9%.

Alaunos’ earnings surpassed expectations in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 52.53%. In the last reported quarter, TCRT delivered an earnings surprise of 66.67%.
Factors to Consider
Alaunos Therapeutics mainly generates its revenues from the collaboration agreement with Solasia Pharma upon the achievement of certain sales-based milestones.
In the absence of an approved/marketed product in its portfolio, the focus of the fourth-quarter earnings call is anticipated to be on updates related to the pipeline of Alaunos Therapeutics.
The company is looking forward to developing patient-specific cell therapies for KRAS, TP53 and EGFR by making use of its cancer hotspot mutation TCR library and its non-viral Sleeping Beauty gene transfer platform. Alaunos is currently enrolling and treating patients in a phase I/II study to evaluate 10 TCRs, from its TCR library, on their reaction with mutated KRAS, TP53 and EGFR. The purpose of the study is the investigational treatment of non-small cell lung, colorectal, endometrial, pancreatic, ovarian and bile duct cancers, which it refers to as its TCR-T Library phase I/II study.
December 2022 marked the successful dosing of the third patient in the study. The company looks forward to enrolling multiple patients in the first half of 2023. Interim data from the study is expected by mid-2023.
The company submitted an investigational new drug (IND) amendment to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2022 to further expand the indication of its library TCR-T cell therapy.
Alaunos’ other mbIL-15 TCR-T cell therapy program is also expected to bear results treating KRAS and TP53 hotspot mutations for solid tumor indication. The company expects to file an IND with the FDA in the second half of 2023 for the same.
