AbCellera advances ABCL635 into Phase 2 and refreshes investor materials.

AbCellera reports that first patients have now been dosed in the Phase 2 portion of its ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial for ABCL635. Moving into Phase 2 typically means the program is progressing beyond initial safety and dose-finding work toward a greater focus on evaluating effectiveness in patients, although specific trial design details are not provided here.

The company also furnished an updated corporate presentation on its investor website, indicating refreshed disclosure around its pipeline and strategy. The information is expressly furnished, not filed, which limits its use in certain legal contexts.
