Metagenomi Reports Wider Q2 Loss as MGX-001 Advances Toward IND Submission
Metagenomi Therapeutics posted a second-quarter net loss of $27.48 million, or $0.73 per share, compared with a loss of $19.91 million, or $0.54 per share, a year earlier. The wider loss reflected a $0.26 million loss from collaborations, versus an $8.51 million gain in the prior-year period, while research and development expenses were essentially flat at $22.51 million. The company ended the quarter with $120.66 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Metagenomi is advancing MGX-001, a CRISPR-based therapy for Hemophilia A, toward an investigational new drug submission planned for the fourth quarter, with clinical trials expected to begin in 2027.
