Months after lowering its full-year guidance, Iovance Biotherapeutics has slashed its headcount by fewer than 20%, according to an Aug. 6 report from Endpoints News, which confirmed the layoffs with a company spokesperson. “This restructuring will extend our cash runway,” the spokesperson told Endpoints, adding that the layoffs will “support [its] mission to innovate, develop and deliver” its pipeline of tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte cell therapies for patients who need them.

We continue to monitor the potential impact of proposals and recently enacted legislation to lower prescription drug costs at the federal and state level. As an example, of changes enacted by a new administration, the Inflation Reduction Act, or the IRA, was signed into law in August 2022 by President Biden, which makes significant changes to how drugs are covered and paid for under the Medicare program, including the creation of financial penalties for drugs whose prices rise faster than the rate of inflation, redesign of the Medicare Part D program to require manufacturers to bear more of the liability for certain drug benefits, and government price-setting for certain Medicare Part D drugs, starting in 2026, and Medicare Part B drugs starting in 2028. We continue to evaluate what effect, if any, the IRA may have on our business. Any reduction in reimbursement from Medicare or other government healthcare programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of cost containment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our products.
