Cartesian Therapeutics: Uncertainty Remains
Cartesian Therapeutics' stock has rebounded sharply recently despite no significant news, driven partly by insider buying after a disappointing Phase 2b trial for Descartes-08 in myasthenia gravis. The company leverages its RNA Armory platform for mRNA cell therapies, focusing on autoimmune diseases, with Descartes-08 and Descartes-15 as its main assets. Descartes-08 showed mixed results in Phase 2b for MG, raising concerns due to endpoint changes and trial anomalies, yet plans continue for a pivotal trial in 2025.
