On Monday, Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SGMO#NASDAQ">SGMO</a>) regained the development and commercialization rights to giroctocogene fitelparvovec, an investigational gene therapy product candidate for moderately severe to severe hemophilia A that it has co-developed with and licensed to Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>).
Pfizer decided to terminate the global collaboration and license agreement <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42733065/sangamo-therapeutics-to-regain-full-rights-to-hemophilia-a-gene-therapy-program-following-pfizers-" rel="noreferrer noopener">between the parties</a>. Sangamo intends to explore all options to advance the program, including seeking a potential new collaboration partner.

In July 2024, Pfizer announced topline results from the Phase 3 AFFINE trial of giroctocogene fitelparvovec, which demonstrated that the trial met the primary and key secondary objectives of superiority <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39937203/sangamo-stock-spikes-as-pfizer-partnership-meets-goal-in-late-stage-study" rel="noreferrer noopener">compared to prophylaxis</a>.
&#8220;&#8230;we believe it is well positioned for regulatory submissions and potential commercialization,&#8221; said Sandy Macrae, Chief Executive Officer of Sangamo Therapeutics. &#8220;While we were surprised and extremely disappointed by Pfizer&#8217;s decision to end our collaboration so close to the anticipated BLA and MAA submissions&#8230;&#8221;
The collaboration and license agreement with Pfizer will terminate effective April 21, 2025. All trial participants will continue to be monitored as planned during the transition period.
Sangamo believes that its recently announced partnerships with Roche Holdings AG&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) Genentech and Astellas Pharma Inc (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALPMF#OTC">ALPMF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALPMY#OTC">ALPMY</a>) and advanced business development discussions for its Fabry gene therapy program will allow it to chart a path forward for its neurology genomic medicine pipeline.
The company prepares to initiate the expected enrollment of patients in the Phase 1/2 study of ST-503 for idiopathic small fiber neuropathy in mid-2025 and file an anticipated Clinical Trial Authorisation submission for the prion disease program in Q4 2025, each subject to securing additional funding.
Price Action: SGMO stock is down 54.70% at $1.106 during the premarket session at last check Tuesday.

Why Cemtrex Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 17%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42710703/sp-500-poised-for-best-year-vs-global-stocks-since-1997-bank-of-america-warns-of-2005-rotation">stock</a> futures were trading higher on Tuesday following Monday&#8217;s selloff. All four index futures rose in trade.
The Santa Rally, a typical year-end market surge, has seemingly failed to materialize this year, with stocks experiencing a downturn. However, the S&amp;P 500 index is on its way to achieving 20% plus return for the second consecutive year in 2024.
The 10-year and two-year Treasury notes yielded 4.51% and 4.24%, respectively. The probability of having no change in the interest rates for the upcoming Jan. 31, 2025, FOMC meeting was at 88.8%, <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">according to</a> CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch tool.

The tech sector continued its downward trend, with Tesla Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc. shares dropping 3.3% and 1.4%, respectively. 
Despite the Monday losses, major indices still posted gains for the previous week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.4%, ending a three-week losing streak, while the S&amp;P 500 added 0.7% and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.8%.
On the economic data front, the Chicago Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index (PMI) fell to 36.9 in December from 40.2 in November, below market expectations of 42.5.

Insights From Analysts
Tom Lee, the head of research at Fundstrat attributed this decline to profit-taking and investor uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve&#8217;s future interest rate policies. However, he emphasizes that the positive market outlook for 2025 remains largely unchanged.
According to Lee, even if the S&amp;P 500 closes the year at 5,900, it doesn&#8217;t diminish the significant potential for growth in 2025.
Looking ahead to next year, Lee said that he will closely monitor the CEO confidence index and the ISM manufacturing data for signs of economic expansion. He predicts that the S&amp;P 500 could potentially reach 7,000 in the first half of 2025, representing substantial upside from current levels.
According to Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research, there are multiple reasons for missing the Santa Rally. &#8220;From a sentiment perspective, there have been too many bulls. From a technical perspective, breadth has been narrowing again as a few LargeCap momentum stocks continue to outperform.&#8221;
&#8220;From a fundamental perspective, while earnings growth should remain bullish, the Fed may be done easing monetary policy for a while at the same time as the outlook for fiscal policy under Trump 2.0 is uncertain. From a valuation perspective, forward P/Es are stretched,&#8221; he added.
According to Jeff Weniger, the head of equities at WisdomTree, the S&amp;P 500 has had positive returns in the next 12 months each time economists&#8217; recession prediction has fallen to 15%.

Earnings

CompoSecure, Cemtrex And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Tuesday

Sangamo shares are trading lower after the company announced its collaboration and license agreement with Pfizer on giroctocogene fitelparvovec will terminate effective April 21, 2025.

Sangamo believes that its recently announced partnerships with Genentech and Astellas, and advanced business development discussions for its Fabry gene therapy program, will allow it to chart a path forward for its neurology genomic medicine pipeline as it prepares to initiate expected enrollment of patients in the Phase 1/2 study of ST-503 for idiopathic small fiber neuropathy in mid-2025, and file an anticipated Clinical Trial Authorisation (CTA) submission for the prion disease program in Q4 2025, each subject to securing adequate additional funding.
Based on positive results from Phase 3 AFFINE trial, which met primary and secondary endpoints, Sangamo plans to explore all options to commercialize the asset, including seeking a potential new collaboration partner.
