Breidenbach commented:
“Monday, Mustang Bio announced 4Q results and reviewed recent progress. We believe Mustang is on track to submit an IND for its in 1H19. Manufacturing for the trial could be supported by Mustang’s in-house cell processing facility, which became operational in June. Separate INDs for other CAR-T products in-licensed from academia, including MB-104 in multiple myeloma (MM) and MB-106 in NHL, could follow suit in 2H19. Management has scheduled a meeting with the FDA in 2Q to discuss requirements for transferring St. Jude’s IND for a recently in-licensed gene therapy for X-SCID. With multiple company-sponsored trials on the horizon and a deeply discounted market capitalization relative to most of its cell and gene therapy peers, we reiterate our Outperform and $18 PT.”
