Imugene ( (AU:IMU) ) has issued an update.

Imugene has reported promising Phase 1b data for azer-cel, its allogeneic CD19 CAR T-cell therapy, in a CAR T-naïve cohort of patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The ASCO 2026 abstract shows clinical activity across multiple CD19 B-cell malignancies, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, primary central nervous system lymphoma, follicular lymphoma and Waldenström macroglobulinemia.

Among 16 evaluable patients treated with azer-cel plus low-dose IL-2, the overall response rate reached 81%, with 100% response rates in several lymphoma and leukemia subtypes and a manageable safety profile. Management said the results validate Imugene’s off-the-shelf CAR T strategy and will guide future indication selection, while the upcoming ASCO oral presentation is expected to raise the company’s profile with oncologists, potential pharma partners and global investors.
