Hang Hu's questions to Intellia Therapeutics Inc (NTLA) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
On behalf of Gena Wang at Barclays, Hang Hu asked for an explanation of how the company's cash runway guidance remains unchanged despite the significant expansion of the MAGNITUDE clinical trial.
Answer
CEO John Leonard attributed this to conservative financial planning. EVP & CFO Edward Dulac elaborated that the potential for increased enrollment was factored into their long-range scenario planning. He stated the recent decision to expand to 1,200 patients represented an immaterial cost increase within their three-year plan, which can be absorbed without impacting cash runway or net cash burn guidance.
