Allogene Therapeutics Announces Encore Presentation of Phase 1 Data from the ALLO-501/501A Trials in Large B Cell Lymphoma at the European Hematology Association (EHA) Hybrid Congress

  • Data Will Also Be Presented in a Poster Session at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting on June 3, 2023

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allogene Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALLO), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of allogeneic CAR T (AlloCAR T™) products for cancer, today announced an encore presentation of data from the Phase 1 ALPHA/ALPHA2 trials of ALLO-501/501A at the European Hematology Association (EHA) Hybrid Congress on June 8–11, 2023 in Frankfurt, Germany.

The ALPHA/ALPHA2 trials were designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy at increasing dose levels of ALLO-501 and ALLO-501A, allogeneic CAR T cell product candidates that target CD19. In addition to exploring cell doses, these studies evaluated escalating doses of ALLO-647, Allogene’s proprietary investigational lymphodepleting antibody designed to prevent premature rejection of AlloCAR T cells, in combination with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide.

Allogene is conducting ALPHA2 and EXPAND, two potentially pivotal Phase 2 trials of ALLO-501A in large B cell lymphoma (LBCL) in sites across the U.S. and is expected to extend its clinical research footprint to Europe, Canada and Australia in 2023.

Allogene Presentation at the 2023 EHA Hybrid Congress:

Title: Durable Responses Achieved with Anti-CD19 Allogeneic CAR T ALLO-501/501A in Phase 1 Trials of Autologous CAR T Naïve Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Large B Cell Lymphoma (R/R LBCL)

Presenter: Dr. Javier Munoz, M.D., M.B.A, Director of the Lymphoma Program at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona
Abstract: P1125
Poster Session Display Date and Time: Friday, June 9, 2023, 18:00 - 19:00 CEST/ 9:00AM - 10:00AM PT/ 12:00PM - 1:00PM ET

About ALLO-501 and ALLO-501A
ALLO-501 and ALLO-501A are anti-CD19 AlloCAR T™ investigational products for the treatment of large B cell lymphoma. ALLO-501A, a next-generation anti-CD19 AlloCAR T™, eliminates the rituximab recognition domains in ALLO-501, which could allow for use in a broader patient population, including NHL patients with recent rituximab exposure. This product candidate is currently being studied in an ongoing Phase 2 trial. In June 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation to ALLO-501A in r/r LBCL.
