Recent Highlights
ALLO-501/ALLO-501A (anti-CD19 AlloCAR T)
•Initial data from the Phase 1 ALPHA study of ALLO-501 in relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) was selected for an oral presentation at the virtual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting on May 29, 2020. The ALPHA trial utilizes ALLO-647, the Company’s anti-CD52 monoclonal antibody (mAb) as a part of the lymphodepletion regimen. The Phase 1 trial is designed to assess the safety of ALLO-501 and ALLO-647 and establish appropriate doses for further study.
◦The ASCO abstract will be released May 13, 2020 and will include preliminary data from the first nine patients treated in this study. The virtual presentation will include additional patients, including patients treated with a higher dose of ALLO-647.
•The Company expects to initiate enrollment in ALPHA2, an abbreviated Phase 1 trial for ALLO-501A, in Q2 2020. ALLO-501A is a next generation anti-CD19 AlloCAR T that is intended for Phase 2 development.
ALLO-715 (anti-BCMA AlloCAR T)
•The Company continues to progress its robust anti-BCMA strategy centered around ALLO-715 for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM).
•The ALLO-715 Phase 1 UNIVERSAL trial in patients with relapsed/refractory MM, which utilizes ALLO-647 as part of the lymphodepletion platform, is enrolling patients with initial data anticipated in Q4 2020.
