Via BusinessWire
Agenus Inc., a leader in immuno-oncology, today announced further details of its strategic realignment aimed at streamlining operations, strengthening its financial position, and prioritizing the advancement of its most impactful programs as it prepares for 2025. Reductions are designed to reduce cash burn to $100 million in FY 2025. This initiative follows the successful closing of a $22 million mortgage secured by key real estate assets, providing the company with enhanced operational flexibility during this pivotal period.
Key Measures Include:
• Focusing on BOT/BAL: Agenus will concentrate its resources on its lead botensilimab/balstilimab (BOT/BAL) program, which has demonstrated robust clinical activity in microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (MSS CRC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), pancreatic cancer, sarcoma, and other difficult-to-treat cancers.
• Reducing Costs: The company will implement significant cost-cutting measures, including staff reductions and operational adjustments, targeting a 60% reduction in annual expenditures and a cash burn of $100 million for FY 2025.
• Optimizing Expert Manufacturing Capabilities: Agenus plans to transition its biologics CMC capabilities to a fee-for-service model, unlocking new revenue opportunities. This initiative is intended to be supported by external funding.
