We believe CRISPR/Cas9 has the potential to create the next generation of CAR T cell therapies that may have a superior product profile and allow broader patient access compared to current autologous therapies. We are advancing several cell therapy programs for oncology and/or autoimmune indications, including two next-generation allogeneic CAR T programs, CTX112 targeting Cluster of Differentiation 19, or CD19, and CTX131 targeting Cluster of Differentiation 70, or CD70. These product candidates incorporate edits designed to enhance CAR T potency, reduce CAR T exhaustion and evade the immune system. An additional edit in CTX131 is designed to prevent the CAR T cells from killing other CAR T cells. In addition, these next-generation candidates exhibit increased manufacturing robustness, with a higher and more consistent number of CAR T cells produced per batch.
Next-generation Allogeneic CAR T Candidates We are advancing several cell therapy programs, including two next-generation, investigational, gene-edited, healthy donor-derived allogeneic CAR T product candidates in clinical trials: CTX112 targeting CD19 and CTX131 targeting CD70. These next-generation candidates build upon our first-generation programs, which provided important proof of concept that allogeneic CAR T cells can produce durable remissions following a standard lymphodepletion regimen and demonstrated a well-tolerated safety profile. Our CRISPR/Cas9 platform has enabled us to incorporate additional edits into our next-generation product candidates, and reflect our mission of innovating continuously to bring potentially transformative medicines to patients as quickly as possible.

CAR-T cells, the most common engineered ACTs are genetically modified cells that express chimeric antigen receptors that recognize and bind to antigens on a patient’s tumors, resulting in their activation to target cancer cells for destruction. Other immune cell types can be engineered to express CAR constructs as well, including NK cells. Synthetic CAR receptors combine the specificity of a monoclonal antibody with cytotoxic and immune surveillance functions of a T cell and bind to extracellular antigens of cell-surface proteins overexpressed by cancer cells, thus enabling major histocompatibility complex-independent T cell activation. CAR-T cell therapy has emerged as a revolutionary therapy for certain patients with certain hematologic cancers.

Behind the comparison

Sources and methodology

Price return uses split-adjusted daily closes and excludes dividends. Both stocks start on the first shared trading day within the selected window. Unavailable metrics leave gaps.

Financials use SEC canonical statements available by the displayed cutoff, retaining each company's fiscal period end. Annual and quarterly amounts are shown separately. P/E is unavailable when earnings do not support a positive ratio.

Business overlap uses industry tags from annual filings released in 2025. Each core activity receives full weight; each material activity receives one quarter of that weight. Rarer industries carry more weight. We sum the smaller exposure for each shared activity and divide it by the sum of the larger exposure for every activity in either company. This measures business overlap, rather than price correlation or expected returns.

Search eligibility requires distinct issuers, a shared core category and at least 20% weighted overlap, supported by industry or sector evidence and specific business activities. Broad classifications require stronger overlap within the same sector. Comparisons also need at least 252 shared price observations within two years, recent trading and a common sourced revenue or net-income trend. Missing P/E or gross margin alone does not exclude a comparison. The eligibility snapshot refreshes daily. Related comparisons use a separate, stricter peer rule; their ten-peer discovery limit does not limit search eligibility. Other stock pairs remain available in the comparison tool.

Statements available through 2026-10-22. Industry snapshot: 2025-12-31 · 5,721 classified issuers.
