Arcellx Inc’s Anito-cel: A Promising Market Entrant with Superior Efficacy and Safety in Multiple Myeloma Treatment

Analyst John Newman of Canaccord Genuity maintained a Buy rating on Arcellx Inc (ACLX – Research Report), retaining the price target of $121.00.

John Newman has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Arcellx Inc’s promising position in the market. The company’s anito-cel product for treating 4L+ Multiple Myeloma (MM) showcases a strong safety profile and superior efficacy, setting it apart from existing competitors like BMY’s Abecma and LEGN/JNJ’s Carvykti. Anito-cel’s rapid turnaround time and the plan to establish approximately 160 authorized treatment centers in the first year of launch are expected to facilitate a successful market entry.
Moreover, anito-cel is not expected to face the manufacturing challenges that have constrained its competitors, such as batch failures and out-of-spec products. This reliability in production, combined with the absence of delayed neurotoxicity in treated patients, positions anito-cel as a safer option, especially for earlier-line patients. The efficacy data from the EHA presentation further supports this, with an overall response rate and survival metrics that are comparable to or better than existing treatments, suggesting a robust potential for market success.

In another report released today, H.C. Wainwright also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $115.00 price target.
