Cesca Therapeutics Announces First Quarter 2018 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

Cesca Therapeutics (NASDAQ:KOOL), a market leader in automated cell processing and point-of-care, autologous cell-based therapies, today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018, and provided a corporate update.

As quoted in the press release:

“Since our acquisition of SynGen in July of last year, we have made substantial progress advancing our novel CAR-TXpress solution, and related X-Series kits, toward commercialization,” said Dr. Chris Xu, chief executive officer of Cesca. “Notably, we introduced our first X-Series kit, the X-Mini, which targets the large and growing CAR-T research market, and subsequently entered into our first evaluation agreements with two leading academic research institutions focused on cell therapies. In addition, we continued to execute on our strategy to become a diversified CAR-T service provider with the signing of the CDMO agreement with IncoCell, the first of several CDMO collaborations that we are pursuing in key markets, including the U.S. Finally, we bolstered our intellectual property estate with the filing of an additional patent that further differentiates our proprietary CAR-TXpress workflow. We remain very optimistic about the numerous opportunities within the rapidly-emerging immuno-oncology field and are positioning the Company to respond to unmet market needs. Our goal is to maintain our current momentum, and we believe we have set the stage for 2018 to be a truly transformational year for our company.”
