Simultaneous binding of a cytotoxic T lymphocyte to a cancer cell creates a cytolytic bridge that resembles an immunological synapse (termed a lytic synapse) (2).

TCEs have demonstrated clinical proof of concept for hematological malignancies and hold promise for solid tumors. As such, only TCEs targeting hematologic malignancies have been granted FDA approval. These consist of one CD19 targeted dual-scFv CD3 Bispecific T cell engager (BiTE), blinatumomab, for the treatment of lymphoblastic leukemia (79), two CD3 bispecific antibodies (bsAb) targeting BCMA, teclistamab and elranatamab-bcmm, for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (10,11), three TCEs targeting CD20, mosunetuzumab, glofitamab, and epcoritamab (1214) and the GPRC5D targeted TCE talquetamab (15). Toxicity remains a challenge as this class of TCEs commonly induce cytokine release syndrome (CRS) (16) and concomitant Rabbit Polyclonal to RRS1<\/a> neurotoxicity. In addition to these adverse events for which progress has been made to reduce the severity, potentially devastating on-target\/off-tumor toxicity remains perhaps the biggest obstacle should the TAA be expressed on a vital organ (17,18), common in the solid tumor setting. This is especially concerning given that higher peripheral concentrations of TCEs may be required to penetrate Balsalazide disodium solid tumors to induce sufficient exposure to achieve an efficacious dose (1,19). These common adverse events and dose limiting toxicities highlight the importance of careful monitoring and management strategies and an unmet need for next generation TCEs. Engineering TCEs that decouple cytotoxicity from cytokine release is considered a high value mitigation strategy. But, to date, such TCEs generally lack a cytokine window consisting of a dose range in which maximal killing is reached but cytokine release can be modulated from very little for safety to levels sufficient to mediate bystander killing. Instead, the vast majority of these second generation TCEs induce low cytokine release at the dose needed to achieve maximal killing and little is known about the propensity of these TCEs to induce immune exhaustion, which is likely more critical in the solid tumor setting in which T cell infiltration of the tumor is limited. Moreover, bystander killing may be critical to achieving efficacy beyond partial response due to the high degree of heterogeneity of targeted TAA expression including tumor cells altogether devoid of the TAA.
