Cheng Li's questions to Intellia Therapeutics Inc (NTLA) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
On behalf of Jay Olson at Oppenheimer, Cheng Li asked for the rationale behind choosing 1,200 patients as the optimal number for the MAGNITUDE study and whether this number is considered final.
Answer
EVP & CMO David Lebwohl explained that the 1,200-patient size is optimal for demonstrating a statistically and clinically meaningful benefit in the stabilizer subpopulation. He noted this number allows for completion within the guided timeframe, accelerates event accrual for analyses, and maintains the company's cash runway. He confirmed that Intellia is not planning further adjustments to the trial size.
