February 26, 2026 updated by: Allogene Therapeutics

A Randomized, Open-Label, Phase 2 Study Evaluating Lymphodepletion With ALLO-647, Fludarabine, and Cyclophosphamide, vs. Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide Alone, in Subjects With Relapsed/Refractory Large B-Cell Lymphoma Receiving ALLO-501A Allogeneic CAR T Cell Therapy

The purpose of the EXPAND study is to assess the safety and clinical efficacy of ALLO-647 combined with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide compared to fludarabine and cyclophosphamide alone in a lymphodepletion regimen prior to ALLO-501A CAR T therapy in adults with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) of a Lymphodepletion Regimen Containing FCA vs FC Alone Per Independent Review Committee
Time Frame: Up to 60 months

To assess the clinical efficacy of ALLO-647 (in a lymphodepletion regimen before ALLO-501A) compared to FC alone as measured by PFS and assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC) in subjects with R/R (Relapsed / Refractory) LBCL (Large B Cell Lymphoma).

In this study, PFS is defined as the time from randomization to disease progression, or relapse per the Lugano classification criteria (Cheson et al, 2014) as assessed by IRC or death.

Up to 60 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall-response Rate (ORR) of a Lymphodepletion Regimen Containing FCA vs FC Per Independent Review Committee
Time Frame: Up to 60 months

To assess the clinical efficacy of ALLO-647 as measured by ORR and assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC) between treatment arms.

ORR is defined as best overall response (Complete Response and Partial Response, assessed using the Lugano classification criteria 2014; Cheson , et al, 2014) by IRC at any time up through commencement of new anti-cancer therapy or withdrawal of consent.

Up to 60 months
Event-Free-Survival (EFS) of a Lymphodepletion Regimen Containing FCA vs FC Per Independent Review Committee
Time Frame: Up to 60 months

To assess clinical efficacy of ALLO-647 with FC (in a lymphodepletion regimen before ALLO-501A) compared to FC alone as measured by Event-Free Survival (EFS) and assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC) in subjects with R/R LBCL.

EFS is defined as the time from randomization to disease progression or relapse per the Lugano classification criteria 2014 as assessed by IRC, new anti-cancer therapy, or death.

Up to 60 months
Duration of Response (DOR) of a Lymphodepletion Regimen Containing FCA vs FC Per Independent Review Committee
Time Frame: Up to 60 months

To characterize the efficacy of ALLO-647 as measured by Duration of Response (DOR) and assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC) between treatment arms.

DOR is defined as time from the first observed response to disease progression or relapse (per IRC) or death.

Up to 60 months
Overall Survival (OS) of a Lymphodepletion Regimen Containing FCA vs FC
Time Frame: Up to 60 months, study completion, or death, whichever occurs earlier. Specifically, OS was followed for 4.5 and 10.09 months for each participant in the FCA and FC arm, respectively.

Duration of Response, Event-Free Survival and Progression-Free Survival of a Lymphodepletion Regimen Containing FCA vs FC Based on Response Assessment Per Investigator Review
Time Frame: Neither participant was a responder, therefore DOR was not followed. EFS and PFS were followed from first dose of study treatment until disease progression, subsequent anticancer therapy, or death. EFS and PFS were followed for 0.99 to 1.84 months.
