Thursday, January 25, 2024

AU-007 is a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to harness the power of interleukin-2 (IL-2) to eradicate solid tumors, and the first AI-designed human monoclonal antibody to be tested in a clinical trial.

Key Points: 
  • AU-007 is a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to harness the power of interleukin-2 (IL-2) to eradicate solid tumors, and the first AI-designed human monoclonal antibody to be tested in a clinical trial.
  • Phase 1 data demonstrate that AU-007 is currently the only IL-2 agent that can reduce regulatory T cells (Tregs), which suppress the immune system.
  • This redirects IL-2 to medium-affinity receptors on effector T cells (Teffs) and natural killer (NK) cells, which expand and kill tumor cells.

The Piezo1 study involved performing cryoablation with ProSense® on tumor volumes of approximately 100 mm3 (diameter ~6 mm) using a mouse model.

Key Points: 
  • The Piezo1 study involved performing cryoablation with ProSense® on tumor volumes of approximately 100 mm3 (diameter ~6 mm) using a mouse model.
  • The data demonstrates that cryoablation induces immune rejection by enhancing CD8+ T cell activation, a process dependent on T cell expression of Piezo1.
  • "These studies pave the way for analysis of immune response in the growing number of ProSense® cryoablation investigator-initiated trials in humans.
  • As always, we are very grateful to the doctors conducting these independent studies that explore and confirm ProSense®'s mechanism of action and its benefits for patients."
