On November 16, 2021 Kineta, Inc., a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel immunotherapies in oncology, reported the presentation of preclinical data on the company’s new anti-CD27 agonist monoclonal antibody program at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) (Free SITC Whitepaper) 36th Anniversary Annual Meeting, that took place November 10-14, 2021 in Washington D.C (Press release, Kineta, NOV 16, 2021, View Source;utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=kineta-presented-compelling-preclinical-data-on-its-new-cd27-antibody-program-at-the-2021-sitc-annual-meeting [SID1234595690]). Thierry Guillaudeux, PhD, Senior Vice President Immuno-oncology at Kineta, presented a poster revealing new binding affinity and specificity data on the company’s CD27 monoclonal antibody drug candidates as well as potent agonistic activity on cellular and T cell activation assays.

"We are highly encouraged with the compelling preclinical data demonstrated with Kineta’s new CD27 monoclonal antibodies" said Thierry Guillaudeux, PhD, Senior Vice President Immuno-oncology at Kineta. "CD27 is a promising cancer immunotherapy approach that can mobilize new specific tumor antigen specific T cells to drive a potent anti-tumor response with single agent efficacy as well as synergistic effects with other immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Kineta has developed a diverse set of anti-CD27 agonist antibodies. They are fully human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that demonstrate low nanomolar (nM) binding affinity to CD27 in humans. In preclinical studies, Kineta’s selected lead anti-CD27 agonist mAbs induce T cell proliferation and secretion of cytokines involved in T cell priming and recruitment, demonstrating the ability to potentiate new anti-tumor responses. Kineta is in the final stage of lead selection and plans to nominate a clinical candidate in Q1-Q2 2022.
Key results from the SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper) poster presentation:
147 fully human anti-CD27 monoclonal antibodies with unique sequences were generated
Anti-CD27 agonist assay showed strong agonist activity for 8 pre-selected anti-CD27 antibodies
Human T cell activation assay data for 5 mAbs showed increased proliferation and cytokine secretion
Further in vitro and in vivo developments are on-going to select our lead anti-CD27 agonist antibody
