This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
Allogene Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing allogeneic CAR T cell therapies for cancer treatment. This research and development process inherently involves animal testing. The company’s SEC filings explicitly list “animal care” as a core operational service required for its business. As a pre-commercial biotech firm, its entire pipeline and valuation are predicated on preclinical research that utilizes animal models to assess the safety and efficacy of its therapeutic candidates before human trials can begin. This places animal testing at the center of its commercial activity.
The company is listed by Cruelty Free Investors among “Companies That Exploit Animals,” a designation for firms whose operations involve animal testing. For a company like Allogene, which has no approved products generating revenue, this laboratory animal use is not a peripheral activity but a fundamental, ongoing component of its drug development process. The evidence, while not detailing specific testing protocols, confirms that animal utilization is a stated and necessary part of its operations.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
