All antibodies were prepared freshly before injection and GPRC5D TCB administered intravenously (i.v.) once weekly starting at day 13.

  • GPRC5D TCB increased the IL-10 concentration in the blood.
  • CD25 Mab (RG6292) depleted Tregs and thus prevented IL-10 secretion.
  • Tregs were not acting as IL-2 sinks anymore which in turn increased then the available IL-2 for surrounding effector T cells (Figure 3).
  • GPRC5D TCB forced 100% of established tumors into regression. However, some animals started to relapse before day 40 of the study. Treatment with CD25 Mab (RG6292) was able to delay this relapse post day 40 ( Figure 4).
