Nektar Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company based in San Francisco, focusing on developing treatments for autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases, with a pipeline that includes innovative biologics and immune-modulating therapies.
In its second quarter of 2025, Nektar Therapeutics reported a decrease in cash and investments, with $175.9 million on hand as of June 30, 2025. However, the company raised $115 million in a public offering in July, which is expected to support operations into early 2027. The company highlighted promising clinical data for its lead candidate, rezpegaldesleukin, in treating atopic dermatitis and alopecia areata, with further data expected in early 2026.
Key financial metrics for the quarter include a revenue decline to $11.2 million from $23.5 million the previous year, primarily due to the sale of a manufacturing facility. Operating costs decreased significantly, resulting in a net loss of $41.6 million, an improvement from the $52.4 million loss in the same quarter of 2024. Research and development expenses slightly increased, driven by ongoing projects, while general and administrative costs saw a minor rise due to legal expenses.
Looking ahead, Nektar Therapeutics is advancing its clinical and preclinical programs, with plans to bring new therapies into clinical trials in 2026. The management remains optimistic about the potential of its pipeline to address significant unmet medical needs in autoimmune disorders.
