What step has ACLX declared?
Today, Arcellx (ACLX) and Kite, a Gilead subsidiary, announced a global strategic partnership to jointly develop and market CART-ddBCMA, Arcellx’s main late-stage therapeutic candidate.

The partnership is a huge victory for ACLX and the myeloma community. ACLX will be able to ramp up the commercialization of its multiple myeloma CART-ddBCMA therapy thanks to Kite’s worldwide strength in cell therapy and its prospective best-in-class CART-ddBCMA medicine. The main goal of this partnership is to give people who are in need faster access.
The two businesses naturally complement one other’s strengths. Each firm may contribute to the relationship without duplication or conflicting interests since both businesses bring complementary knowledge to the cooperation, which is essential for creating long-term value.
How KITE will be leveraged?
Through the partnership with Arcellx (ACLX), Kite will be able to enter a new market with a significant unmet medical need and provide many patients with a cell treatment that may be best in class. By engineering a possibly curative therapy from a patient’s own T cells, cell therapy has demonstrated that it can transform the way cancer is treated.
A highly coordinated, vertically integrated organization, from R&D to commercialization to production, dedicated to the specific demands of this extremely complicated area is needed to offer cell treatment internationally and at scale. ACLX will work with the Kite team on this important program in the multiple myeloma sectors to help them reach these objectives.
How would the partnership boost ACLX?
At closure, Arcellx (ACLX) will be given a $225 million cash advance and a $100 million equity investment. Both businesses will cover the expenses of CART development, ddBCMA’s clinical testing, and commercialization equally. They will also work together to market the drug and split joint U.S. earnings 50/50. ACLX will get royalties on revenues when Kite commercializes the product outside of the US. Any collaboration-related product that is not co-commercialized will be Kite’s responsibility to develop and market. After the technical transfer is finished, Kite will be in charge of manufacturing.
