Pucotenlimab in patients with advanced mismatch repair-deficient or microsatellite instability-high solid tumors: A multicenter phase 2 study. (PubMed, Cell Rep Med)
Pucotenlimab is an effective treatment option for previously treated advanced dMMR/MSI-H solid tumors, and the predictive value of KMT2D mutation warrants further research. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03704246.

Low level of ARID1A contributes to adaptive immune resistance and sensitizes triple-negative breast cancer to immune checkpoint inhibitors. (PubMed, Cancer Commun (Lond))
In AIR epigenetics, low ARID1A expression in TNBC contributed to AIR via the ARID1A/NPM1/PD-L1 axis, leading to poor outcome but sensitivity to ICI treatment.

Pucotenlimab (HX008) - humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody plus pemetrexed and platinum as first-line treatment for advanced non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (nsqNSCLC): A single-arm multicenter phase II study (ESMO 2023)
Neutrophil count decreased (32.6%) was the most reported grade 3/4 TRAE. Conclusions Pucotenlimab combined with pemetrexed plus platinum demonstrated promising efficacy and safety for the 1st line nsq-NSCLC patients without EGFR/ALK mutations.

ARID1A deficiency in triple-negative breast cancer induces adaptive immune resistance and sensitivity to immune checkpoint inhibitors. (ASCO 2023)
In CTR20191353, a phase 1b clinical trial of pucotenlimab combined with chemotherapy for TNBC, patients with ARID1A deficiency demonstrated significantly better prognosis and the longest progression-free survival was found in ARID1A-low/PD-L1-high group. In AIR epigenetics, TNBC ARID1A deficiency induced AIR via the ARID1A/NPM1/PD-L1 axis, leading to poor outcome. While ARID1A deficiency provided survival advantage for TNBC cells, it simultaneously left the Achilles' heel which could be targeted with ICI.

HX009, a novel BsAb dual targeting PD1 x CD47, demonstrates potent anti-lymphoma activity in preclinical models. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
In the humanized mouse syngeneic A20 B-lymphoma (huCD47-A20) HuGEMM model, which has quadruple knocked-in hPD1xhPD-L1xhCD47xhSIRPα genes and an intact autologous immune-system, a contribution of effect is demonstrated for each targeted biologic (HX008 targeting PD1 and SIRPα-Fc targeting CD47), which is clearly augmented by the dual targeting with HX009. Lastly, the expression of the immune-checkpoints PD-L1/L2 and CD47 seemed co-regulated among a panel of lymphoma-derived-xenografts, where HX009 maybe more effective in those with upregulated CD47. Our data warrants HX009's further clinical development for treating NHLs.

Clinical efficacy and biomarker analysis of pucotenlimab (HX008) in patients with previously treated advanced mismatch repair-deficient or microsatellite instability-high solid tumors: A single-arm, multicenter, phase 2 study. (ASCO-GI 2023)
Pucotenlimab demonstrated durable antitumor activity and manageable safety for previously treated patients with advanced MSI-H/dMMR solid tumors. KMT2D gene mutation, along with NLR and TMB, warrants further investigation as predictive biomarkers. Clinical trial information: NCT03704246.

Pucotenlimab: First Approval. (PubMed, Drugs)
In July 2022, pucotenlimab received conditional first approval in China for the treatment of patients with unresectable or metastatic microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) solid tumours, including patients with advanced colorectal cancer who have experienced disease progression after previous therapy with fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and irinotecan, as well as patients with other advanced solid tumours who have experienced disease progression after previous first-line therapy and have no satisfactory treatment alternatives. In September 2022, pucotenlimab was approved in China for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanomas after the failure of previous systemic therapy. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of pucotenlimab leading to the first approval for the treatment of MSI-H/dMMR advanced solid tumours.
