Anti-GARP Monoclonal Antibodies for Cancer Therapy
TS-057778 —
A novel monoclonal antibody (PIIO-1) to be used in combination with immune-checkpoint blockers. PIIO-1 augments CD8+ T cells-induced anti-tumor immunity and overcomes ICB resistance by disrupting transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), the center of a pathway significantly implicated in solid tumors and hematological malignancies. PIIO-1 inhibits TGFβ locally via a docking receptor, avoiding adverse and unforeseen side effects.
Although immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has emerged as a promising cancer immunotherapy, a majority of tumors fail to respond to ICB. A potential mechanism driving this failed response is the accumulation of TGF-β1 in the tumor microenvironment (TME), which drives immune dysfunction by indu…

Reduction in Incidence and Severity of Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease (aGVHD) via CRISPR-Cas9 Deletion of the miR-155 Host Gene (MIR155HG) in Primary Human T Cells
TS-057739 —
CRISPR/Cas 9 mediated targeting of MIR155HG in primary human T cells creates genomic deletions that disrupt transcription of mature microRNA-155 (miR-155, a miR associated with inflammation). Applying this treatment to donor T cells prior to allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) when treating hematological malignancies and other primary bone marrow disorders can prevent the development of aGVHD in patients.
The Need
More than 8,000 patients receive allo-HSCT annually in the US alone as a cure for hematologic malignancies and other primary bone marrow disorders. However, the major barrier for the success of allo-HSCT is the high incidence of aGVHD and its associated morbidity and mortality. Acute GVHD…
