    Journal:  T-cell exhaustion induced by continuous bispecific molecule exposure is ameliorated by treatment-free intervals. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 14, 2022   
    In an in vitro model system, mimicking 28-day continuous infusion with the half-life-extended CD19xCD3 bispecific AMG 562, we identified hallmark features of exhaustion arising over time...Our data demonstrate the relevance of T-cell exhaustion in bispecific antibody therapy and highlight that T cells can be functionally and transcriptionally rejuvenated with TFIs. In view of the growing number of bispecific molecules being evaluated in clinical trials, our findings emphasize the need to consider and evaluate TFIs in application schedules to improve clinical outcomes.

    Treatment-Free Intervals during CD19xCD3 BiTE® Construct-Mediated T-Cell Stimulation Induce Functional Reinvigoration and Transcriptional Reprogramming of Exhausted T Cells (GWCC - B216-B217, Level 2) -  Nov 5, 2021 - Abstract #ASH2021ASH_1945;    
    Blinatumomab is a bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE ® ) construct approved for treatment of relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL)...Mimicking the clinical application in an in vitro model system, we showed previously that continuous stimulation (CONT) with AMG 562, a half-life extended CD19xCD3 BiTE ® construct, induces T-cell exhaustion, as seen in chronic infections...In future analyses we will correlate RNA expression levels to functional traits using whole genome co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Thereby we aim to identify gene clusters critical for persistent T-cell function that might serve as targets to improve efficacy of T-cell based immunotherapies.

    Reduction of CD19-BiTE® construct-induced T-cell exhaustion through breaks in treatment (A7) -  Sep 20, 2021 - Abstract #DGHO2021DGHO_63;    
    Our results demonstrate that continuous BiTE ® construct exposure leads to T-cell exhaustion which can be ameliorated through TFI. Currently, T cells from patients blinatumomab are being receiving analyzed to confirm the clinical relevance of our findings.
