After abandoning its first initial public offering (IPO) filed in 2021, natural killer (NK) cell therapy specialist Artiva Biotherapeutics is having another go.
The San Diego, California-based biotech filed its intention to go public a couple of weeks ago and has now set out its terms, hoping to raise up to $135 million by offering 8.7 million shares at a price range of $14 to $16. It had initially set a target of $100 million from the IPO.
Artiva is one of a group of companies that are hoping to mimic with NK cells what has been done with T cells, and specifically CAR-Ts for cancer which account for the majority of approved cell therapies at the moment.
