Are allogeneic CAR-Ts the future of LBCL cancer treatment? - Safe, long-lasting and effective universal cell therapies become a reality

We know there is strong demand in both academia and industry to produce reliable, delivered CAR T-cell therapies. New studies prove that allogeneic CAR-T therapies could be the answer.

Allogeneic therapeuticsRecently published exciting results from the Phase 1 Alpha/Alpha2 trials of the allogeneic Auto-T 'Cemacabtagene AnsegedLeucel/Allo-501' in relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.1 With the largest group of LBCl patients treated with an allogeneic CAR-T product, the most sucked minimum date (minimum) and the longest act to minimum date. Experience still 'and could pave the way for successful allogeneic treatments in the future.2

Following the sustained response data from these trials, experts have called this a "landmark moment" for the field because these data "redefine the possibilities of defining the standard of care in oncology" in Alpha3 trials.

Results included a complete response rate (CR) of 67% and 58% for Alpha/Alpha2, and in those patients who achieved CR, a median duration of response (DOR) of 23.1 months was recorded. Additionally, patients with extremely low incidence of the disease demonstrated “excellent disease.”

Growing interest in allogeneic CAR-Ts as an alternative to autologous CAR-Ts could lead to the production of manufactured “off-the-shelf” therapies that would be cheaper and more efficient to produce. Compared to the patient-specific nature of autologous CAR-Ts, where the process often becomes long, complex and expensive, allogeneic CAR-Ts use a healthy donor's T cells for treatment rather than using those within the patient's body. If successful, this presents an opportunity for CAR T-cell immunotherapy that is easy to deliver at scale due to its universal nature. Alogene Therapeutics' data showed that for allogeneic CAR-Ts, the median time to treatment was two days after study enrollment, compared to autologous CAR-T cell products, which require wait times often longer than 1 month, despite incremental advances in manufacturing and supply chains.

Despite the potential of allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy, the pitfalls of autologous CAR-T cell therapies still have a long way to go. It is important to address current issues and challenges with allogeneic CAR-T therapies such as acceptance of “non-self” and transplantation against host disease. That's why this7th Annual Allogeneic Cell Therapy SummitIs your chance to join the conversation and work to make safe, long-lasting and effective universal cell therapies a reality.

On7th Annual Allogeneic Cell Therapy SummitYou can address critical challenges in optimizing complex genetic engineering, increasing cell production, and navigating the regulatory landscape to accelerate your path to clinical and commercial success. This is your chance to develop effective strategies that demonstrate the potential of therapies for those in need with industry experts at Adicet Bio, Takeda, AstraZeneca, Cerectis, Karibu-Biosciences and more. Check out the exclusive event guideHere.

The conference will span 3 packed days and will focus on unveiling the next era of gene editing, engineering and clinical validation to meet manufacturing needs and expand patient access to allogeneic cell therapies in oncology and autoimmunity. Over 100 cell therapy experts will unite to focus on true innovation in the allogeneic space, and you can join them.
