WALTHAM, Mass. / Aug 03, 2023 / Business Wire / AlloVir, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALVR), a late-clinical stage allogeneic T cell immunotherapy company, today reported financial results from the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. The company shared progress across its allogeneic, off-the-shelf virus-specific T cell (VST) programs, including its lead investigational therapy, posoleucel, for prevention and treatment of life-threatening infections and diseases from up to six viruses that commonly impact patients following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT), and for the treatment of BK viremia (BKV) in adult kidney transplant recipients.
“We are excited to be advancing our company’s three Phase 3 global registrational trials of posoleucel for three indications that threaten allo-HCT recipients. Treating and preventing life-threatening viral infections using T cells that focus on restoring natural immunity addresses a significant unmet need for allo-HCT patients, which could have a significant impact on patient outcomes, morbidity, and survival,” said Diana Brainard, M.D., Chief Executive Officer, AlloVir. “We are very pleased with our progress to date and are on track to report data from all three studies in the second half of 2024.”

About Posoleucel
AlloVir's lead product, posoleucel, is in late-stage clinical development as an allogeneic, off-the-shelf, multi-virus-specific T cell therapy targeting six viral pathogens in immunocompromised individuals: adenovirus (AdV), BK viremia (BKV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) and JC virus (JCV). In a Phase 2 open-label study of posoleucel for the prevention of clinically significant infections due to the six viruses posoleucel targets, 88% of allo-HCT patients who received posoleucel remained free of clinically significant infections through week 14, the primary endpoint. Moreover, the non-relapse mortality rate in patients who received posoleucel was 0% through the 52-week follow-up visit. Additionally, in the positive Phase 2 proof-of-concept CHARMS treatment study, which enrolled allo-HCT recipients infected by one or more of the six viruses posoleucel targets, more than 90% of patients who failed conventional treatment and received posoleucel demonstrated a complete or partial clinical response based on predefined criteria.
