Forward Guidance
Cabaletta Bio anticipates continued significant losses for the foreseeable future as it invests in research and development, clinical trials, and potential commercialization efforts. The company expects its current cash and cash equivalents to fund operations into the first half of 2026 but will require substantial additional financing to complete its clinical trials and commercialization.
Positive Outlook
- The company plans to pursue research and development of other product candidates, leveraging its proprietary CABA® platform.
- The company expects to achieve full manufacturing readiness through expanded CDMO relationships and potentially establishing its own manufacturing facilities.
- The company is evaluating pathways to improve patient experience and scalability of collection through the removal of the requirement for apheresis.
- The company is planning to implement a design for two single-arm, disease-specific registrational cohorts in the ongoing RESET-Myositis™ trial, which, if successful, could enable a future Biologics License Application (BLA) submission for rese-cel in myositis.
- The FDA granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation to rese-cel for the treatment of myositis, which includes benefits of Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy Designation programs, and provides opportunities for more frequent interactions with the FDA.
Challenges Ahead
- The company has identified conditions that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern beyond the first half of 2026 without additional funding.
- The company anticipates incurring significant losses for the foreseeable future and may never achieve or maintain profitability.
- The company will require substantial additional financing to develop and commercialize its product candidates and implement its operating plans.
- If the company fails to obtain additional financing or cannot obtain financing at the levels required, it may be forced to delay, reduce, or discontinue its plans and operations or be unable to complete the development and commercialization of its product candidates.
- The company's limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate the success of its business to date and to assess its future viability, and it may face significant challenges and expenses as it tests its product candidates and builds its capabilities.
