Although feladilimab demonstrated favorable safety and robust receptor occupancy, clinical responses were limited-echoing similar experiences with vopratelimab (JTX-2011) and other ICOS agonists. These outcomes highlight that effective ICOS modulation depends not only on receptor engagement but also on spatial and temporal regulation of effector versus regulatory T-cell responses. Future ICOS-directed strategies, whether agonistic or antagonistic, monoclonal or bispecific, will require rational combination approaches and biomarker-driven patient selection to fully harness this pathway's therapeutic potential.

ICOS (Inducible T Cell Costimulator) • CD40 (CD40 Molecule)
This study showed the feasibility of a modified Toxicity Proportion Interval design and PK/PD analysis to determine a recommended dose for a compound without a dose-limiting toxicity and a tolerable and manageable safety profile.

CD8 (cluster of differentiation 8) • CD4 (CD4 Molecule) • ICOS (Inducible T Cell Costimulator)
Key therapeutic approaches include CTLA-4-Ig fusion proteins (abatacept, belatacept) for autoimmune diseases, ICOS agonists (feladilimab, vopratelimab) to enhance anti-tumor immunity, and bispecific CD28-engaging antibodies (CD28xCD3, CD28xPSMA) for cancer immunotherapy. By integrating structural insights with translational drug development, this review provides a framework for optimizing CD28- and ICOS-targeted therapies. Further advancements in biologics, peptide-based inhibitors, and immune checkpoint modulation will enhance the precision and efficacy of immunotherapeutic strategies.
