SAN DIEGO, March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artiva Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARTV) (Artiva), a clinical-stage biotechnology company whose mission is to develop effective, safe and accessible cell therapies for patients with devastating autoimmune diseases and cancers, today announced financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2025, and highlighted recent progress.
“2025 was a year of strong execution as we advanced our AlloNK program, successfully enrolling patients in community settings across autoimmune indications and prioritizing refractory RA as our lead indication,” said Fred Aslan, M.D., president and chief executive officer of Artiva Biotherapeutics. “AlloNK has the potential to redefine the treatment paradigm for refractory RA by combining the durable efficacy of deep B-cell depletion with an outpatient-ready profile suitable for community rheumatology practices.”
Dr. Aslan continued, “In 2026, our focus is to advance AlloNK from an early clinical program in the deep B-cell depletion space to what could become the first therapy in this class to initiate a registrational trial in RA, the autoimmune disease with the largest refractory population. We look forward to sharing initial clinical response data and engaging with the FDA on a potential pivotal trial design in refractory RA in the first half of 2026.”

Artiva is a clinical-stage biotechnology company whose mission is to develop effective, safe and accessible cell therapies for patients with devastating autoimmune diseases and cancers. Artiva’s lead program, AlloNK ® (also known as AB-101), is an allogeneic, off-the-shelf, non-genetically modified, cryopreserved NK cell therapy candidate designed to enhance the antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity effect of monoclonal antibodies to drive B-cell depletion. AlloNK is currently being evaluated in three ongoing clinical trials for the treatment of B-cell driven autoimmune diseases, including a company-sponsored basket trial across autoimmune diseases that includes rheumatoid arthritis and Sjögren’s disease and an investigator-initiated basket trial in B-cell driven autoimmune diseases. Artiva’s pipeline also includes CAR-NK candidates targeting both solid and hematologic cancers. Artiva was founded in 2019 as a spin out of GC Cell, formerly GC Lab Cell Corporation, a leading healthcare company in the Republic of Korea, pursuant to a strategic partnership granting Artiva exclusive worldwide rights (excluding Asia, Australia and New Zealand) to GC Cell’s NK cell manufacturing technology and programs.
