4-1BB receptor Agonist: Understanding

4-1BB receptor Agonist: Overview

Human (h)4-1BB (TNFRSF9, CD137) is a tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)2 superfamily (TNFRSF) member that contains four cysteine-rich domains (CRD) in the N-terminal extracellular region connected to a C-terminal cytoplasmic region that contains a TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF)-binding motif to initiate subsequent signaling (1). 4-1BB acts as a co-stimulatory molecule on activated T cells to enhance their response to antigen and can also aid activation of other cells such as NK cells. The ligand of h4-1BB, h4-1BBL (TNFSF9, CD137L), is a member of the TNF ligand superfamily expressed on activated antigen-presenting cells such as B cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages. h4-1BBL can also be expressed extracellularly as a soluble homotrimer. Binding of 4-1BBL to 4-1BB results in aggregation of several receptors that allows for the efficient recruitment of TRAF adapter proteins such as TRAF1 and -2 to the cytoplasmic TRAF-binding motifs of separate 4-1BB receptors, ultimately initiating co-stimulatory signaling. On T cells and NK cells, 4-1BB signaling can inhibit apoptosis while augmenting proliferation and effector functions such as cytokine production or CTL activity that can lead to eradication of established tumors. Although the antitumor properties have made 4-1BB an ideal target for cancer immunotherapy, 4-1BB signaling can also induce anti-inflammatory effects augmenting regulatory activity in T cells and dendritic cells, suggesting it is also a potential target for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

4-1BB receptor Agonist Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the 4-1BB receptor Agonist report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

4-1BB receptor Agonist Emerging Drugs

• Utomilumab: Pfizer

Utomilumab (PF-05082566) is an investigational immunotherapy and is a fully human IgG2 monoclonal antibody (mAb). The 4-1BB (CD-137) protein receptor is found on certain T cells (primarily on CD8+, but also on CD4+ memory T cells) and natural killer (NK) cells. Based on preclinical data, when utomilumab (PF-05082566) binds to 4-1BB, it has been observed to stimulate and increase the number of immune cells. The hypothesis is that this may help augment enhanced anti-tumor immune function. Preclinical studies suggest that combining utomilumab (PF-05082566) with a checkpoint inhibitor, such as anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1, or other immunotherapies may amplify the immune response.

• Urelumab: Bristol Myers Squibb

Urelumab (BMS-663513 or anti-4-1BB antibody) is a fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibody developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb for the treatment of cancer and solid tumors. Urelumab targets the extracellular domain of CD137. It specifically binds to and activates CD137-expressing immune cells, stimulating an immune response, in particular a cytotoxic T cell response, against tumor cells. It is currently being investigated in Phase II stage of development for the treatment of Solid tumors.

• ADG106: Adagene

ADG106, is a fully human ligand-blocking, agonistic anti-CD137 IgG4 mAb being developed for the treatment of advanced solid tumors and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. CD137 stimulates the immune system to attack cancer cells and is a key driver for long-lasting T-cell proliferation and survival. Clinical trials of ADG106 as monotherapy have been conducted in the US and China. A trial in combination with toripalimab is underway in China, and one in combination with pembrolizumab is planned. In January 2022, Adagene announced first patient with advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Dosed in Phase I/II clinical trial of ADG106 in Combination with Nivolumab in Singapore.

• AGEN2373: Agenus Inc.

AGEN2373 is a fully human monoclonal antibody designed to boost the immune response to cancer cells by enhancing CD137 co-stimulatory signaling in activated immune cells. The unique binding properties of AGEN2373 are expected to limit its activity outside of the tumor site and mitigate toxicities that may be associated with systemic activation of CD137 in humans. AGEN2373 has demonstrated preliminary clinical benefit and has been well tolerated without signs of liver toxicity, an adverse event that has impacted competitor antibodies in the clinic. Gilead currently has an exclusive option to license AGEN2373. Agenus retains the right to opt-in to share Gilead’s development and commercialization costs in the United States in exchange for a 50:50 profit share and US co-commercialization rights.
