    On January 5, 2023, Fate Therapeutics announced the termination
    of its partnership with Johnson & Johnson.
    At the end of 2022, Fate had $475 million in cash
    on her books.

    At the same time, Fate also adjusted its R&D pipeline, focusing on the development of the second-generation CD19 CAR-NK therapy and terminating the development of FT596 projects
    .

    Affected by this news, Fate Therapeutics shares fell 48% after hours, leaving a market value of only $600 million
    .

    Regarding the reasons for terminating the cooperation, Fate explained that "it was impossible to agree on the continuation of the cooperation"
    .

    Fate is a pioneer in the iPSC CAR-NK field, with a market capitalization of $4 billion
    at one point.

    Fate has established a complete technology platform
    .

    Fate has established a rich research and development platform, but still focuses on hematological tumors, and CAR-NK still has no substantial breakthrough
    in solid tumors.

    summary

    summary

    Although the clinical popularity of CAR-NK has not decreased, it is still expected to have a major breakthrough in efficacy
    .
    The termination of the cooperation with Johnson & Johnson has once again hit the market's confidence
    in the CAR-NK track.
    However, the fundamental advantages such as good safety and allogeneic CAR-NK are still there, and clinical exploration is still worth pursuing
    .

    Over the past year, many pioneers in new forms of drugs have suffered major setbacks, including Rubius for red blood cell therapy, Carisma for CAR-M, Silverback for ISAC, Instil for TIL therapy, and more
    .
    Expect CAR-NK to get out of the trough
    .
