Complementing these presentations, the Company will present preclinical data evaluating a novel off-the-shelf DLL3/CD70 dual CAR T product candidate for small cell lung cancer and other neuroendocrine tumors. The findings suggest that careful selection of the genomic location for site-specific-integration of the CAR can improve CAR T cell performance in controlling tumors. Confirming and extending observations presented earlier this year with BCMA, the data show pairing the DLL3 CAR with a CAR targeting CD70 can enhance resistance to immune-mediated rejection, illustrating that Dagger technology can be coupled with other CARs. These findings reinforce the potential of the Dagger technology as a versatile foundation for Allogene’s next-generation pipeline, supporting the development of off-the-shelf CAR T therapies across additional targets for both hematological and solid tumors as well as autoimmune disease.
