Allogene Therapeutics Company Profile
Allogene Therapeutics, Inc is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing allogeneic, or “off-the-shelf,” CAR T cell therapies for cancer.

The company’s investigational pipeline has included cemacabtagene ansegedleucel (cema-cel, formerly ALLO-501A) for certain patients with large B-cell lymphoma, as well as other allogeneic CAR T candidates being studied in blood cancers such as multiple myeloma and in solid tumors, including renal cell carcinoma.
