Abstrakt: Recruitment of naturally occurring suppressive CD4 + , CD25 + , and FOXP3 + regulatory T cells (T reg ) to the tumor microenvironment (TME) has the potential to weaken the antitumor response in patients receiving treatment with immuno-oncology (IO) agents. Human T reg express CCR4 and can be recruited to the TME through the C-C chemokines CCL17 and CCL22. We have recently developed a series of potent, orally bioavailable small molecule antagonists of CCR4 that can block recruitment of T reg into the TME.
