Popis: | ATOR-1015 is a CTLA-4 x OX40 bispecific immune activating antibody developed for tumor-directed immunotherapy. ATOR-1015 binds both targets simultaneously, promoting cell-cell interactions expected to enhance the immuno-stimulating effect of the compound. The mode of action of ATOR-1015 is thought to be a combination of regulatory T cell (Treg) depletion and effector T cell activation. It can be seen as a next generation CTLA-4 antibody with tumor-directed activity and augmented Treg depletion. The ability to induce ADCC of human Treg was investigated using an FcγR expressing reporter assay demonstrating superior effect of ATOR-1015 compared to the monospecific antibody counterparts. Further, ATOR-1015 has been shown to induce activation of T cells in the presence of CTLA-4 expressing cells, ability that is not observed when combining the monoclonal counterparts. Syngeneic tumor models in vivo using human transgenic mice cross-reacting with both targets demonstrate that ATOR-1015 reduces tumor growth and prolongs survival. Further, ATOR-1015 treatment demonstrates superior increase in the intratumoral CD8+ T cell/Treg ratio compared to the monospecific counterparts, without affecting systemic T cells. This tumor directed immune activation is demonstrated to be due to the tumor localization abilities of ATOR-1015. In conclusion, ATOR-1015 is a next generation CTLA-4 antibody with tumor directed activity with augmented T-reg depletion. It is currently in GLP manufacturing of clinical material and will start clinical trials in the second half of 2018.
