Anti-GARP monoclonal antibody enhances anti-cancer therapeutics
TS-075242 — THE PROBLEM
Although immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has emerged as promising cancer immunotherapy, many tumors fail to respond to ICB. This failed response is often driven by the activation of TGF-β1 in the tumor microenvironment (TME), which induces regulatory T cells and inhibits the funct…

Lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR)-targeted mAb and ADC for LSR+ tumors treatment
TS-075185 — Problem
The lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) is a promising target for cancer therapy. LSR is overexpressed in many tumor tissues with metastatic signatures such as breast, gastric, and endometrial cancer. LSR expression levels may serve as prognostic indicators and help stratify pat…

Novel Antibodies Targeting IL-2 for Treatment of Cancer
TS-075174 — Problem
IL-2 and its receptor IL-2R are known to play multiple roles in shaping the immune response, including both immune activation and tolerance. Treatments activating effector cells against tumors are undermined by an autoinhibitory loop caused by endogenous IL-2 secreted from activated Teffs. …

Humanized somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) mAb and ADCs to target SSTR2+ tumors
TS-075165 — Problem
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are often metastatic at diagnosis, thus limiting surgical options. Chemotherapies offer limited efficacy and high toxicity. Meningiomas, though usually benign, are the most common intracranial tumors. Both NETs and meningiomas overexpress SSTR2, making it a prom…

Novel Antibodies Targeting IL-2
TS-066051 — Novel antibodies targeting IL-2 with the ability to inhibit IL-2 signaling through IL-2 Rαβg to a greater extent than through IL-2 Rβg.
IL-2 and its receptor IL-2R are known to play multiple roles in shaping the immune response, including both immune activation and tolerance. Expression of intermediate-affinity IL-2 receptors by different immune cell subsets determines cellular sensitivity to IL-2. However, the dynamic interplay bet…
