Instil Bio Share Sink After Enrollment Pause In Cancer Therapy Trials

  • Instil Bio Inc TIL has voluntarily paused enrollment in its ongoing clinical trials of ITIL-168 and ITIL-306 and has notified regulatory authorities in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. 
  • No regulatory agencies have notified the company of a clinical hold in its clinical trials.
  • The voluntary pause was instituted following a recent decreased rate in the successful manufacturing of ITIL-168, resulting in the inability to dose some patients whose individual product of ITIL-168 was not successfully manufactured. 
  • A pre-specified safety analysis in the DELTA-1 trial was conducted on patients who received ITIL-168 and did not identify any unexpected safety issues. 
  • The company has commenced an end-to-end analysis of its manufacturing processes. 
  • Although no manufacturing failures have been observed in the ongoing Phase 1 trial of ITIL-306, the company has also voluntarily paused enrollment in this trial as part of its overall manufacturing analysis.
  • The company intends to provide an update on the manufacturing analysis by early Q1 2023. The company confirms its previously disclosed cash runway into 2025.
  • In May, the FDA signed off ITIL-306 Investigational New Drug (IND), an autologous TIL cell therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ovarian cancer, and renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
  • Price Action: TIL shares are down 26.70% at $3.85 on the last check Monday.
