SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Nov. 03, 2022 (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 that it will present updated data from its Phase 1 UNIVERSAL trial of ALLO-715, an anti-BCMA AlloCAR T product candidate for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, in a poster presentation at the 64th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) taking place December 10-13, 2022 in New Orleans, LA.

“UNIVERSAL is the first trial to demonstrate significant responses can be achieved with an allogeneic CAR T product candidate.
