AlloVir's Posoleucel Shows Early Safety In Kidney Transplant Recipients

AlloVir Inc ALVR announced preliminary, blinded data from an ongoing Phase 2 study of posoleucel for BK viremia (BKV) in adult kidney transplant recipients.
These data provide an early indication of the safety and tolerability profile of posoleucel in kidney transplant recipients with BK viremia, which is associated with reduced graft survival and has no approved treatment.
In this preliminary blinded analysis, headache, reported in six patients (10%), was the only adverse event judged by investigators to be related to the study drug that occurred in more than 5% of patients.
