Alde, the reason there's been no announcement is obvious if you understand how biotech actually works. Companies don't drip-feed efficacy data, they hold it until durability is proven and release multi-cohort readouts at conferences like ASH and EHA, or they let a JV/buyout do the talking which can 20X overnight. That is the playbook.
What we already know from the pipeline:
• Tech transfer confirmed complete on 31 March
• Recruitment for Cohort 2 is open
• 14 April Annual IND filing confirmed all three Cohort 1 patients dosed at the lowest dose
• DSMB cleared escalation, trial was never paused, paediatric expansion approved
Now look at what HG-CT-1 actually is, because the market hasn't priced this in:
• Third-generation CAR-T with CD28 and 4-1BB costimulatory domains, expands when it sees FLT3, contracts when there's none left
• The cells then circulate for years as long-term immune surveillance, if FLT3+ leukaemic stem cells try to re-establish disease, the CAR-T recognises them and expands again
• Bivalent ScFv design means it only fires on high-density FLT3 targets (blasts) and ignores healthy haematopoietic tissue, which is exactly why DL1 showed no CRS, no ICANs, no cytopenia
• FLT3 is an AML oncogene, blasts can't down-regulate it without dying, so the dominant escape route that killed CD19 CAR-T durability is mechanistically much harder here
• That's a credible path to functional cure in AML, not just remission
The survival signal is already there. Median OS in R/R AML is measured in months. Patient 1 is well past that and the trial is escalating, not pausing.
And here's the moat, HEMO has the only FLT3 dual-modality platform on the planet. HG-CT-1 (CAR-T) plus CDX (bispecific antibody). Two complementary AML weapons under one roof. That's the kind of combination buyers acquire, not license.
If this looks like it can replace bone marrow transplant in AML, and the construct design says it can, every bet on timing and price goes out the window.
This is good dust. Watch this space.
