Insight Pharma Newsletter June 2023

Dear Reader :

This month’s edition of Citeline’s newsletter, developed in alliance with the IPA, encapsulates advances in the development of off-the-shelf, CAR-T products and also partnering initiatives in the biosimilars segment.

The R&D head of Allogene Therapeutics talks about the firm’s pivotal trial in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and also encouraging data in renal cell carcinoma, while in the biosimilars space Pfizer-Samsung and Alvotech-Advanz continue to build on their partnerships.

We also bring you some important data readouts from the recent ASCO meeting.
