Allogene Therapeutics, Inc. operates as a clinical-stage immuno-oncology firm dedicated to the creation and commercialization of genetically engineered allogeneic T-cell therapies for the treatment of various cancers. A pivotal product in their development pipeline is UCART19, an allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. This candidate is being developed, manufactured, and prepared for market release to address relapsed/refractory (R/R) CD19-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in both children and adults. The company's portfolio also encompasses ALLO-501, an anti-CD19 allogeneic CAR T-cell candidate currently in Phase I clinical trials for R/R non-Hodgkin lymphoma. A related therapeutic, ALLO-501A, is progressing through Phase I/II studies, targeting R/R large B-cell lymphoma or transformed follicular lymphoma. Furthermore, Allogene is advancing several other promising candidates: ALLO-715, an allogeneic CAR T-cell therapy in Phase I for R/R multiple myeloma; ALLO-605, another allogeneic CAR T-cell designed for multiple myeloma; and ALLO-647, an anti-CD52 monoclonal antibody. Their investigational therapies also include those targeting CD70 for renal cell cancer, ALLO-819 (an allogeneic CAR T-cell treatment) for acute myeloid leukemia, and DLL3 for small cell lung cancer and other aggressive neuroendocrine tumors. Allogene maintains a robust network of strategic alliances, which includes licensing and collaboration agreements with organizations such as Pfizer Inc., Servier, Cellectis S.A., and Notch Therapeutics Inc. They also hold a clinical trial collaboration with SpringWorks Therapeutics, Inc.
