Lineage Reports Q1 Revenue of $1.73M, Below Consensus
Reports Q1 revenue $1.73M, consensus $3.6M. "This quarter, we continued to build on our developmental and clinical accomplishments. Most notably, we applied our proprietary cell manufacturing technology platform, AlloSCOPE(TM) (Allogeneic, Scalable, Consistent, Off-the-shelf, Pluripotent Cell Engineering), to launch COR1, our new, wholly-owned corneal endothelial cell therapy program. COR1 is a preclinical asset which we believe benefits from our existing ophthalmology and manufacturing expertise and represents a natural next application of our platform. We also achieved our first milestone with our AlloSCOPE 5D manufacturing initiative, aimed at addressing the challenges of large scale production of undifferentiated pluripotent stem cells. If successful at a larger scale, the overall goal is to leverage this initiative, together with a differentiation protocol, to address the insufficient supply of islet cells needed to support a potential treatment of Type 1 Diabetes," stated Brian M. Culley, Lineage CEO.
