Allogene Therapeutics, Inc.
- Servier sent discontinuation notice for CD19 products (UCART19, ALLO-501, ALLO-501A) per Servier Agreement.
- Allogene can elect ex-US license; if exercised, milestone payments for ALLO-501A increase by €46M aggregate.
- Allogene's right to recover 40% of development costs from Servier would cease upon exercise of ex-US option.
- Servier requested Allogene exercise option within limited timeframe; Cellectis challenges sublicense rights, adding legal risk.
