Artiva Biotherapeutics reports Q1 EPS (95c), consensus (84c)

“Artiva has reached an important inflection point, with positive initial clinical data across multiple autoimmune diseases and FDA alignment on a single Phase 3 registrational trial design in refractory RA,” said Fred Aslan, M.D., president and CEO of Artiva Biotherapeutics (ARTV). “The initial RA data demonstrated meaningful responses in highly refractory patients, alongside a tolerability profile supportive of outpatient administration in community rheumatology settings. Together, these data support AlloNK’s potential to become the first deep B-cell depleting therapy to advance into a Phase 3 trial in refractory RA, the autoimmune indication with the largest number of refractory patients.”
