Leveraging the expertise of former Kite Pharma executives, Allogene aims to revolutionize cancer treatment with innovative off-the-shelf CAR T solutions. These therapies, derived from healthy donor cells, provide a scalable and readily available option, eliminating the lengthy and complex process of personalized cell therapy.
The company's portfolio includes 16 pre-clinical T cell therapy assets and UCART19, an allogeneic CAR T therapy in phase 1 development for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Notable core programs target various malignancies such as lymphoma, leukemia, solid tumors, and autoimmune diseases. Among its leading investigational products is cemacabtagene ansegedleucel (cema-cel), currently undergoing pivotal phase 2 ALPHA3 trials for large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) and phase 1 trials for relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). ALLO-316, aimed at renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and ALLO-329, targeting autoimmune diseases with Dagger® technology, further strengthen Allogene's robust pipeline.
Allogene collaborates with leading biotech firms like Foresight Diagnostics and Arbor Biotechnologies to enhance its clinical development capabilities. Recent achievements include strategic partnerships and a $15 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) supporting the development of ALLO-316.
