First Australian Patient Dosed in Phase 1b Trial of Imugenes Azer cel CAR T Cell Therapy.

Jan 03, 2025

Imugene Limited (ASX: IMU), a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company, announced the dosing of the first Australian patient in its Phase 1b trial of azer-cel (azercabtagene zapreleucel), an allogeneic CAR T-cell therapy for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Conducted at Sydney's Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, this trial aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of azer-cel, offering an off-the-shelf alternative to traditional autologous CAR T-cell therapies that require extensive manufacturing using the patient's cells.

Promising results from U.S. cohorts included complete responses in patients who had failed prior treatments, with some achieving durable responses extending over 120 days. This Australian milestone signifies Imugene's commitment to accelerating innovative therapies. CEO Leslie Chong highlighted the therapy's potential to improve outcomes for patients with limited options. Recruitment is set to expand to multiple sites, furthering research into this transformative treatment.
