Century Therapeutics Reports Full Year 2024 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

About this update from Century Therapeutics, Inc.

PHILADELPHIA, March 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Century Therapeutics, Inc. (‘Century’, NASDAQ: IPSC), an innovative biotechnology company developing induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell therapies in autoimmune disease and cancer, today reported financial results and business highlights for the full year 2024. “Today we announced a pipeline re-prioritization to streamline resources on advancing candidates that are potentially transformational or best-in-class in diseases with high unmet need. We ended the year with a strong cash position, which we will leverage to achieve meaningful milestones and drive value for all stakeholders as we take the company forward in a new direction,” said Brent Pfeiffenberger, Pharm.D., Chief Executive Officer of Century Therapeutics. “We have made the strategic decision to discontinue the Phase 1 ELiPSE-1 trial early, and we thank the patients, providers and caregivers for their support and participation. We believe CNTY-101 is well-positioned to potentially impact the standard of care meaningfully in B-cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. We are implementing key initiatives to drive toward delivering data in 2025 from the CALiPSO-1 Phase 1 trial, including new site activations and enhanced patient enrollment efforts in both the U.S. and EU, and with further insights from the CARAMEL Phase 1 investigator-initiated clinical trial which is expected to initiate in mid-2025.” Fourth Quarter 2024 and Recent Highlights Clinical Pipeline for CNTY-101 Preclinical Pipeline “We look forward to our planned webinar next month where we will dive deeper into the programs we are taking forward. We believe these exciting programs unlock an opportunity to replace current therapies and expand application of cell therapy to areas with serious medical need, starting with what we believe to be our unique ab CD4+/CD8+ CAR-T cells combined with our most advanced Allo-Evasion™ 5.0 technology,” said Chad Cowan, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Century Therapeutics. “In the case of CNTY-308 and CNTY-341 in B-cell-mediated diseases, we are aiming for comparable or better performance to approved autologous CAR-T therapies. With our combined expertise in protein engineering, cell differentiation, and manufacturing, we aim to launch allogeneic cell therapies at antibody-like scale and cost. For our solid tumor and non-immune cell programs, this brings the potential to expand access to cell therapies much more broadly.” Full Year 2024 Financial Results About Century Therapeutics Century Therapeutics (NASDAQ: IPSC) is harnessing the power of adult stem cells to develop curative cell therapy products for cancer and autoimmune diseases that we believe will allow us to overcome the limitations of first-generation cell therapies. Our genetically engineered, iPSC-derived cell product candidates are designed to specifically target hematologic and solid tumor cancers, with a broadening application to autoimmune diseases. We are leveraging our expertise in cellular reprogramming, genetic engineering, and manufacturing to develop therapies with the potential to overcome many of the challenges inherent to cell therapy and provide a significant advantage over existing cell therapy technologies.
