Characterization of the Expression of BTN1A1 Exclusive to PD-L1/PD-1 Axis in Small Cell Lung Cancer Using Spatial Biology Approach (IASLC-WCLC 2023)
The Phase 1 clinical trial of a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting BTN1A1, Nelmastorbart (hSTC810), showed no toxicity and demonstrated efficacy in multiple solid cancer patients, particularly in small cell lung cancer (SCLC)... In the current study, the application of advanced spatial biology approaches has provided valuable insights into BTN1A1's expression patterns and its role in immune regulation and evasion within the SCLC tumor microenvironment. Additionally, the development and optimization of anti-BTN1A1 antibody (Nelmastorbart) therapies should be prioritized, with a particular emphasis on understanding the factors contributing to treatment response and resistance. Furthermore, results from our current Phase I clinical trial have provided promising directions for treating small cell lung tumors.
