Artiva halts AlloNK development after safety events, insufficient response durability
  • Artiva Biotherapeutics is discontinuing AlloNK development, including its planned Phase 3 trial, as longer-term clinical response durability fell below its threshold.
  • Two trial participants died; one event was linked to likely fludarabine neurotoxicity, while the other was assessed as unrelated to study treatment.
  • No additional patients will receive AlloNK in ongoing studies; safety monitoring will continue.
  • The workforce will shrink approximately 94% to preserve capital while strategic alternatives, including a potential merger, asset sale or liquidation, are evaluated.
  • Preliminary, unaudited cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled approximately $319.1 million as of September 30, 2026.
