- Autolus has established its own commercial manufacturing facility, The Nucleus, with a capacity to produce 2,000 products annually, ensuring robust and reliable manufacturing processes.
- The company has a strong and experienced team with prior CAR-T and ALL launch experience, which is crucial for the successful commercialization of AUCATZYL.

- Autolus reported a net loss of $82.1 million for Q3 2024, an increase from $45.8 million in the same period in 2023, driven by higher R&D and G&A expenses.
