Cue Biopharma Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Recent Business Highlights

BOSTON, May 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cue Biopharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: CUE), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a novel class of injectable biologics to selectively engage and modulate disease-specific T cells, today provided a business and financial update for the first quarter 2024.

Recent Business Highlights

  • CUE-101 abstract accepted for an oral presentation and poster presentation at the upcoming 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting scheduled for May 31-June 4, 2024.
  • CUE-102 abstract accepted for a poster presentation at the upcoming 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting scheduled for May 31-June 4, 2024.
  • Advanced preclinical CUE-401 program, in collaboration with Ono Pharmaceutical, with potential for broad application across multiple autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
  • Expanded pipeline to include the preclinical CUE-500 series for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases via T cell-mediated B cell depletion.
  • Immuno-STAT™ platform posters for oncology and autoimmune diseases accepted for presentation at PEGS Boston Summit 2024 to be held May 13-14.

“We have made significant progress during the first quarter on several fronts, including further advancement of our CUE-101 clinical trial and a meeting with the FDA to define a registrational path forward for the program, as well as continued advancement of the Phase 1 clinical trial for CUE-102,” said Daniel Passeri, chief executive officer of Cue Biopharma. “Additionally, important progress has been made advancing our autoimmune program CUE-401, in collaboration with Ono Pharmaceutical, and expanding our autoimmune pipeline with the bispecific Immuno-STAT CUE-500 series designed to redirect virus-specific T cells to deplete B cells in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. We believe our strategy of demonstrating the transformative breakthrough potential of our platform to address a broad spectrum of indications from cancer and autoimmune disease positions us well to potentially deliver value creation for our shareholders.”

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
The Company reported collaboration revenue of $1.7 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase was due to revenue earned from our Collaboration and Option Agreement with Ono Pharmaceutical, which was executed in February 2023.

Research and development expenses were $10.2 million and $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increase in clinical trial expenses.

General and administrative expenses were $4.2 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $41.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. We expect our current cash and cash equivalents to fund operations into the first quarter of 2025.
