In conclusion, this combination approach successfully demonstrated the ATP switch concept of STA551 in vivo. These findings will help guide clinical trials for STA551 and the development of future switch antibodies.
The combination of STA551 and PD-L1 showed synergistic anti-tumor efficacy in a colon38-bearing human CD137 knock-in mouse model. Detailed mechanistic analysis showed that the combination of STA551 and PD-L1 induced highly activated CD8+T cells expressing chemokines and cytokines compared to monotherapy. This cluster also express chemokines, suggesting that other immune cells have been recruited.
