We also show that PD-L1, not PD-1, binding drives the LAG-3 reduction on TILs. We hypothesize that the LAG-3 bivalency in the fragment crystallizable region of FS118 allows LAG-3 clustering, which optimizes cleavage by ADAM10/ADAM17 and thus shedding.
FS118 was well tolerated with no DLTs observed up to and including 20 mg/kg QW. Further studies are warranted to determine clinical benefit in patients who have become refractory to anti-PD-(L)1 therapy.
Simultaneously, expanded use should be considered for those with refractory disease, especially if PD-L1 positive. Insights Dual PD-L1/LAG-3 blockade may be an effective treatment strategy for refractory metastatic tumors, including anaplastic thyroid cancer.
Conclusions Weekly treatment with FS118 was well tolerated up to 20 mg/kg and was associated with pharmacodynamic markers of FS118 activity. Encouraging signs of clinical activity were observed in highly pre-treated patients who had acquired resistance to prior PD-(L)1 therapy.
