Abstract
NK cells offer a promising alternative to T cell therapies in cancer. We evaluated IPH6501, a clinical-stage, tetraspecific NK cell engager (NKCE) armed with a non-alpha IL-2 variant (IL-2v), which targets CD20 and was developed for treating B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). CD20-NKCE-IL2v boosts NK cell proliferation and cytotoxicity, showing activity against a range of B-NHL cell lines, including those with low CD20 density. Whereas it presented reduced toxicities compared with those commonly associated with T cell therapies, CD20-NKCE-IL2v showed greater killing efficacy over a T cell engager targeting CD20 in in vitro preclinical models. CD20-NKCE-IL2v also increased the cell surface expression of NK cell–activating receptors, leading to activity against CD20-negative tumor cells. In vivo studies in nonhuman primates and tumor mouse models further validated its efficacy and revealed that CD20-NKCE-IL2v induces peripheral NK cell homing at the tumor site. CD20-NKCE-IL2v emerges as a potential alternative in the treatment landscape of B-NHL.
期刊介绍:
Science Immunology is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research articles in the field of immunology. The journal encourages the submission of research findings from all areas of immunology, including studies on innate and adaptive immunity, immune cell development and differentiation, immunogenomics, systems immunology, structural immunology, antigen presentation, immunometabolism, and mucosal immunology. Additionally, the journal covers research on immune contributions to health and disease, such as host defense, inflammation, cancer immunology, autoimmunity, allergy, transplantation, and immunodeficiency. Science Immunology maintains the same high-quality standard as other journals in the Science family and aims to facilitate understanding of the immune system by showcasing innovative advances in immunology research from all organisms and model systems, including humans.
