Allogene Therapeutics Announces Presentation of Phase 1 Data from the ALLO-501/501A Trials in Large B Cell Lymphoma at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 26, 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 it will present updated data from the Phase 1 ALPHA/ALPHA2 trials of ALLO-501/501A at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting June 2 – 6, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois.

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 lymphodepleting antibody designed to prevent premature rejection of AlloCAR T cells. Allogene is currently enrolling the potentially pivotal Phase 2 ALPHA2 trial of ALLO-501A in large B cell lymphoma (LBCL).

“We are looking forward to sharing updated data from our Phase 1 ALPHA/ALPHA2 trials,” said Zachary Roberts, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Research & Development and Chief Medical Officer. “Prior updates from the ALPHA/ALPHA2 trials provided clear proof-of-concept for the ability of an allogenic CAR T product candidate to induce deep and durable responses in LBCL, a crucial finding as we seek to establish a new era in CAR T.”

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.
