Intellia Therapeutics Announces Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Highlights Recent Company Progress

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 7, 2024 – Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTLA), a leading clinical-stage gene editing company focused on revolutionizing medicine with CRISPR-based therapies, today reported operational highlights and financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“Our third quarter and recent period have been marked by outstanding progress in advancing our pipeline of CRISPR-based gene editing therapies,” said Intellia President and Chief Executive Officer John Leonard, M.D. “A key achievement was the initiation of the HAELO Phase 3 study, which we believe will demonstrate what we’ve seen in the first-in-human study — a one-time treatment of NTLA-2002 has the potential to be a functional cure for hereditary angioedema. In addition, we are very pleased the strong pace of enrollment has continued in the ongoing MAGNITUDE Phase 3 study of nex-z for people living with ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy. Following the recent IND clearance from the FDA for the MAGNITUDE-2 Phase 3 study of nex-z in polyneuropathy patients, we are on track to initiate our third Phase 3 study in the weeks ahead. We look forward to the AHA annual meeting next week, where we will be sharing the first biomarker and functional capacity data from the Phase 1 study of nex-z, and further build upon Intellia’s industry-leading position in ushering in a new era of medicine.”

dose the first patient in the global pivotal Phase 3 study of NTLA-2002 in 2024, its ability to dose the first patient in its NTLA-3001 Phase 1 study in 2024, the potential of NTLA-2001 to halt and reverse disease by driving a deep, consistent and potentially lifelong reduction in TTR protein after a single dose, the potential of NTLA-2002 to be a functional cure for patients with HAE and to demonstrate lifelong control of HAE attacks after a single dose, and the potential of NTLA-3001 to restore permanent expression of functional alpha-1 antitrypsin protein to normal levels after a single dose; the expansion of its CRISPR/Cas9 technology and related novel technologies, including advancing gene editing programs in tissues outside of the liver, such as bone marrow, brain, muscle, lung and eye, and the potential of those programs to dramatically expand the opportunities for CRISPR-based treatments; its ability to advance multiple ex vivo programs utilizing its allogeneic platform, which is designed to avoid both T cell- and NK cell-mediated rejection, for the treatment of immuno-oncology and autoimmune diseases, and to combine its allogeneic platform with edits to enhance cell function and offer a new approach to target both hematological and solid tumors; its ability to advance additional in vivo and ex vivo development candidates and timing expectations of advancing such development candidates and releasing data related to such technologies and development candidates; its ability to optimize the impact of its collaborations on its development programs, including, but not limited to, its collaboration with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Regeneron”) and their co-development programs for ATTR amyloidosis; and its growth as a company and expectations regarding its uses of capital, expenses, future accumulated deficit and financial results, including its ability to fund operations into late 2026.
