Imugene Ltd Notches Third Response in Azer Cel BTKi Cohort [VIDEO]
Imugene's azer-cel BTKi trial has now recorded three responses across five patients in its concurrent BTKi cohort — including both Follicular Lymphoma patients treated to date — strengthening the early efficacy signal in a heavily pre-treated population within a US$12 billion market.
Key Takeaways
- Imugene reported a third patient response in the concurrent BTKi cohort of its azer-cel Phase 1b trial on 27 July 2026, with the second Follicular Lymphoma patient achieving a partial response at Day 28 after previously progressing on BTKi therapy.
- Both Follicular Lymphoma patients treated in the concurrent BTKi cohort have now responded, giving the cohort three responses across five patients dosed to date.
- All patients enrolled in the concurrent BTKi cohort have relapsed on or are refractory to BTKi therapy, targeting a high-unmet-need population within a global BTKi market valued at approximately US$12.0 billion in 2025.
- Azer-cel is an off-the-shelf, allogeneic CAR T cell therapy that can be administered within days, avoiding the three-to-six week manufacturing lead time required for autologous CAR T products.
- Azer-cel holds dual FDA Fast Track Designation across CLL/SLL and Marginal Zone Lymphoma, secured in June 2026, with enrolment continuing across ten US and five Australian trial sites.
