Candel Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:CADL) has reported updated clinical data showing extended survival outcomes from its ongoing phase 2a trial of aglatimagene besadenovec (CAN-2409) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had previously shown an inadequate response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).

NEEDHAM, Mass., March 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Candel Therapeutics, Inc. (Candel or the Company) (Nasdaq: CADL), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing multimodal immunotherapies to help patients with cancer, today announced an additional 12 months of extended follow-up from its study of aglatimagene plus valacyclovir in combination with continued ICI therapy in patients with advanced NSCLC who had an inadequate response to prior ICI treatment. Among the 46 patients who received two administrations of aglatimagene (per-protocol population), 23 patients (50%) remained alive at 24 months. Additionally, 16 patients (35%) survived beyond 30 months, 12 patients (26%) survived beyond 36 months, 11 patients (24%) survived beyond 40 months, and 6 patients (13%) exceeded 50 months of survival. These outcomes represent an improvement from the prior data cut, in which 39% of the patients in the per-protocol population were alive at 24 months, with 10 patients surviving beyond 30 months, 6 patients each beyond 36 and 40 months, and 2 patients beyond 50 months. The extended follow-up further highlights the durability of anti-tumor immunity observed with aglatimagene-based therapy, and the persistence of a long-term survival tail in this difficult-to-treat population.
