On or around July 10, 2020, Poseida completed its initial public offering ("IPO"), issuing 14 million shares of common stock priced at $16.00 per share. Then, on August 18, 2020, Poseida disclosed that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") had placed a clinical hold on Poseida's Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating the autologous CAR-T therapy P-PSMA-101 in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The FDA placed the hold in order to investigate a patient's death that occurred in late July.
