Intellia reports progress in Phase 3 clinical trials

CAMBRIDGE, MA – Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTLA), a leading biotechnology company specializing in genome editing with a market capitalization of approximately $1 billion, has announced significant progress in its ongoing Phase 3 clinical trials, according to a recent SEC filing. According to InvestingPro data, 13 analysts have recently revised their earnings expectations upward for the upcoming period, suggesting growing confidence in the company’s pipeline.

On Wednesday, the company reported that enrollment for its HAELO study of NTLA-2002, aimed at treating hereditary angioedema, is on schedule. Intellia anticipates completing enrollment in the third quarter of 2025 and aims to submit a biologics license application (BLA) in the second half of 2026. If approved, this could pave the way for a U.S. commercial launch in 2027.

Furthermore, Intellia’s MAGNITUDE-2 study for nex-z, targeting transthyretin amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (ATTRv-PN), is also moving forward as planned. The study focuses on the clinical outcomes of a single dose of nex-z and its impact on serum TTR reduction. Completion of the MAGNITUDE-2 study is expected to support a BLA submission by 2028, with potential commercial availability in the U.S. by 2029. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 4.9x and more cash than debt on its balance sheet, though it’s currently burning through cash at a significant rate.

Additionally, the company’s MAGNITUDE study for nex-z in treating ATTR cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is advancing with approximately 365 patients enrolled out of an anticipated 765. The study has already seen over two hundred patients dosed with nex-z. Reported adverse events have been consistent with those observed in the Phase 1 study, including infusion-related reactions and liver transaminase elevations. One recent case of grade 4 liver transaminase elevations was noted, which is resolving without the need for hospitalization or medical intervention.
