Treatment with the allogeneic CAR T-cell product ALLO-501A elicited encouraging signals of clinical activity when used with ALLO-647 lymphodepletion in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma who did not previously receive autologous CAR T-cell therapy.

The combination of pembrolizumab and cabozantinib induced a response in more than half of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma at the recommended phase 2 dose with a manageable safety profile, meeting the primary end point of a phase 1/2 trial.

The BCMA-targeting humanized bispecific monoclonal antibody elranatamab elicited high response rates when subcutaneously delivered at higher doses in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Talquetamab, when delivered at the recommended phase 2 dose of 405 µg/kg weekly, induced a high clinical response rate with favorable tolerabilty in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Treatment with teclistamab, administered subcutaneously at a dose of 1500 µg/kg once weekly, led to a high response rate and an encouraging safety profile in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
