Abstract
En 中文
It is an intriguing approach to target the ecto-5 '-nucleotidase CD73 to confer synergetic beneficial survival in cancer patients, along with clinically established immunotherapy targets. In this study, a fully human, sub-nanomolar affinity CD73 antibody IBI325 was developed using the yeast display platform. Compared with Oleclumab, IBI325 was equivalent in hCD73 affinity and more potent in cell-bound and soluble CD73 enzymatic inhibition, and no hook effects were observed. Correspondingly, adenosine monophosphate-mediated immune suppression was reversed by IBI325, and significant T cell proliferation and release of cytokines were observed. Also, IBI325 enhanced the T cell recall response by inducing interferon-gamma secretion. The antitumor efficacy of IBI325 was investigated in a hPBMC-reconstituted NOG mouse model, and a hCD73 knock-in mouse model. Consequently, IBI325 induced a significant tumor regression by inducing intratumoral immune cell expansion, and a combo therapy of IBI325 and aPD-1 was superior in efficacy than aCD73 or aPD-1 monotherapy. Addi-tionally, the binding epitopes of CD73 to IBI325 were distinct from previously reported aCD73 therapeutics. IBI325 displayed acceptable pharmacokinetics and sufficient tolerable safety profiles to support clinical devel-opment. In conclusion, the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity profiles of IBI325 with complete CD73 inhibition were characterized, and encouraging preclinical outcomes were reported.
