Therefore, in this study, we developed a NANOBODY® domain-based HER2-targeting, T cell receptor (TCR)αβ-based T cell engager (TCE) molecule-TPP-45142; it recognizes a HER2 epitope distinct from that recognized by trastuzumab and pertuzumab and redirects T cells to kill HER2-low cancers such as breast, gastric, and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJ) cancers. TPP-45142 mediated potent T cell-dependent cytotoxicity against HER2-low cancer cell lines in vitro and inhibited in vivo tumor growth of HER2-low breast cancer xenografts. TPP-45142 was highly selective toward tumor cells expressing low HER2 levels than toward normal cardiac cells and exhibited a favourable therapeutic index as per a cytokine release assay. Thus, TPP-45142, with an improved safety profile, is a promising next-generation TCE for treating challenging HER2-low cancers. |
