Allogene Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ALLO) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing allogeneic CAR T cell therapies, meaning off-the-shelf cell therapies manufactured from donor cells rather than a patient's own cells. The company generates no product revenue. Its financing has come from equity issuances, including $22.4 million from ATM transactions and $6.9 million from a CIRM award in FY2025, along with prior partnership agreements with Pfizer, Cellectis, and Servier that carry contingent milestone payment obligations. Allogene's pipeline targets hematologic cancers and autoimmune diseases, with lead programs directed at CD19 and CD70 antigens. Key candidates include ALLO-329 for autoimmune indications such as systemic lupus erythematosus, idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, and systemic sclerosis. The company competes against major multinational pharmaceutical companies, established biotechnology firms, and developers of autologous CAR T therapies, all of which generally hold greater financial and manufacturing resources. Allogene was incorporated in Delaware and is headquartered in the United States.
