Candel Therapeutics Secures EVERSANA Partnership for Potential U.S. Launch of Prostate Cancer Drug Aglatimagene Besadenovec
Summary
Candel Therapeutics has announced a commercialization agreement with EVERSANA to support the potential U.S. launch of its lead immunotherapy candidate, aglatimagene besadenovec, for intermediate- to high-risk, localized prostate cancer. This formal agreement follows the company's previously reported positive Phase 3 prostate cancer data and RMAT designation, as well as earlier mentions of pre-commercialization workstreams. EVERSANA will provide a broad range of commercialization services, including data and analytics, medical affairs, market access, and field operations, positioning Candel for a planned Biologics License Application (BLA) submission in Q4 2026. This partnership is a material step for the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, significantly de-risking the commercialization pathway for its lead asset and moving it closer to potential revenue generation. Investors will now focus on the upcoming BLA submission and subsequent regulatory review.
