Despite recent advances in immunotherapies targeting single tumor-associated antigens, patients with multiple myeloma eventually relapse. ISB 2001 is a CD3⁺ T cell engager (TCE) co-targeting BCMA and CD38 designed to improve cytotoxicity against multiple myeloma. Targeting of two tumor-associated antigens by a single TCE resulted in superior cytotoxic potency across a variable range of BCMA and CD38 tumor expression profiles mimicking natural tumor heterogeneity, improved resistance to competing soluble factors and exhibited superior cytotoxic potency on patient-derived samples and in mouse models. Despite the broad expression of CD38 across human tissues, ISB 2001 demonstrated a reduced T cell activation profile in the absence of tumor cells when compared to TCEs targeting CD38 only. To determine an optimal first-in-human dose for the ongoing clinical trial ( NCT05862012 ), we developed an innovative quantitative systems pharmacology model leveraging preclinical data, using a minimum pharmacologically active dose approach, therefore reducing patient exposure to subefficacious doses of therapies.
