Arcellx experienced a significant increase in net loss in the first quarter of 2025, reaching -$62.27 million, compared to -$7.198 million in the same period last year. This was primarily due to a substantial decrease in collaboration revenue and a rise in research and development expenses.
Collaboration revenue decreased significantly to $8.129 million in Q1 2025 from $39.256 million in Q1 2024, primarily due to the completion of dosing and manufacturing of anito-cel in the iMMagine-1 trial.
Research and development expenses increased to $50.801 million in Q1 2025 from $32.318 million in Q1 2024, driven by costs related to other clinical and preclinical pipeline programs and higher personnel-related costs.
General and administrative expenses rose to $26.226 million in Q1 2025 from $22.748 million in Q1 2024, mainly due to increased personnel-related costs.
Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (basic and diluted) was -$1.13 in Q1 2025, a substantial increase from -$0.14 in Q1 2024.
Arcellx anticipates continued significant expenses and increasing operating losses in the foreseeable future as it advances its product candidates through clinical development and prepares for potential commercialization. The company believes its current cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations into 2028.
