Update: Joining the US CAR club

Celyad (formerly Cardio3) has completed a US IPO and EU placing to raise $100.1m gross. This will fund an aggressive and ambitious clinical trial programme to develop novel Natural Killer CAR cancer therapy (NKG2D). Celyad aims to start one solid tumour trial per quarter once a Phase I initial AML/MM efficacy signal is detected. This potentially moves NKG2D therapy into large, valuable indications. The core value remains based on C-Cure cardiac cell therapy. Adding CAR AML and MM therapies takes the indicative value to €966m. Solid tumour indications may add €519m, €53/$60 share, but are not currently included as they are still preclinical.
