SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Sept. 27, 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 three preclinical poster presentations at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) Annual Meeting November 1-5, 2023, in San Diego, CA. These presentations will focus on the Company’s next generation AlloCAR T platform technologies and the foundation for an early-stage solid tumor product candidate, ALLO-182.
“We are excited to share some of the groundbreaking work from our research team as we define next generation platform technologies that are designed to enhance engraftment and expansion of our AlloCAR TTM product candidates,” said Zachary Roberts, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Research & Development and Chief Medical Officer. “We believe this important and foundational work could expand the potential of off-the-shelf CAR T products by improving their persistence and anti-tumor activity across multiple targets while also creating a path to reducing the intensity of conditioning therapy.”
