Imugene Launches First Australian Site for Azer-cel Phase 1b Trial in DLBCL.

Nov 08, 2024

Imugene Limited, a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company, has opened the first Australian site for its Phase 1b trial of azer-cel (azercabtagene zapreleucel) at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney. This trial, will start patient’s recruitment this month. Azer-cel is an off-the-shelf, allogeneic CAR T-cell therapy targeting the CD19 protein, offering quicker treatment and greater accessibility compared to traditional autologous CAR T therapies that require personalized cell processing.

Recent U.S. trial data showed promising outcomes, with three complete responses, including durable responses in patients from Cohort B treated with azer-cel, lymphodepletion chemotherapy, and interleukin-2. Imugene plans to expand to five sites in Australia to enhance patient access. This initiative represents a crucial advancement in offering novel treatment options for patients with few available choices.
