Davoceticept (ALPN-202) Oncology: Conditional CD28 Costimulator and Dual Checkpoint Inhibitor
CD28 is Critical for T Cell Activity During Checkpoint Inhibition 1 2 3 CD28 is a critical costimulatory receptor required for T cell activation. Its ligands are CD80 & CD86. Immune checkpoints like PD-1 and CTLA-4 inhibit T cells by interfering with CD28 signaling. Checkpoint inhibitors, e.g. anti-PD-1 antibodies, release the “brakes” on CD28 but do not directly provide activating “gas.” Lack or loss of costimulatory ligands are key mechanisms of tumor immune escape. Direct CD28 costimulation may overcome checkpoint inhibitor resistance TUMOR CELL T CELL PD-1 2 1 PD-L1 Insufficient Activation Inhibition x CTLA-4 CD80/86 CD28 3 ANTI PD-1 2 4 4
