    Abstract: Purpose: Imgatuzumab (GA201) is a novel anti-EGFR mAb that is glycoengineered for enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Future treatment schedules for imgatuzumab will likely involve the use of potentially immunosuppressive drugs, such as premedication therapies, to mitigate infusion reactions characteristic of mAb therapy and chemotherapy combination partners. Because of the strong immunologic component of mode of action of imgatuzumab, it is important to understand whether these drugs influence imgatuzumab-mediated ADCC and impact efficacy. Experimental Design: We performed a series of ADCC assays using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells that were first preincubated in physiologically relevant concentrations of commonly used premedication drugs and cancer chemotherapies. The ability of common chemotherapy agents to enhance the efficacy of imgatuzumab in vivo was then examined using orthotopic xenograft models of human cancer. Results: A majority of premedication and chemotherapy drugs investigated had no significant effect on the ADCC activity of imgatuzumab in vitro. Furthermore, enhanced in vivo efficacy was seen with imgatuzumab combination regimens compared with single-agent imgatuzumab, single-agent chemotherapy, or cetuximab combinations. Conclusions: These data indicate that medications currently coadministered with anti-EGFR therapies are unlikely to diminish the ADCC capabilities of imgatuzumab. Further studies using syngeneic models with functional adaptive T-cell responses are now required to fully understand how chemotherapy agents will influence a long-term response to imgatuzumab therapy. Thus, this study and future ones can provide a framework for designing imgatuzumab combination regimens with enhanced efficacy for investigation in phase II trials.

    Abstract: T-cell bispecific antibodies (TCB) are engineered molecules that bind both the T-cell receptor and tumor-specific antigens. Epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII) mutation is a common event in glioblastoma (GBM) and is characterized by the deletion of exons 2–7, resulting in a constitutively active receptor that promotes cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and invasion. EGFRvIII is expressed on the surface of tumor cells and is not expressed in normal tissues, making EGFRvIII an ideal neoantigen target for TCBs. We designed and developed a novel 2+1 EGFRvIII-TCB with optimal pharmacologic characteristics and potent antitumor activity. EGFRvIII-TCB showed specificity for EGFRvIII and promoted tumor cell killing as well as T-cell activation and cytokine secretion only in patient-derived models expressing EGFRvIII. Moreover, EGFRvIII-TCB promoted T-cell recruitment into intracranial tumors. EGFRvIII-TCB induced tumor regression in GBM animal models, including humanized orthotopic GBM patient-derived xenograft models. Our results warrant the clinical testing of EGFRvIII-TCB for the treatment of EGFRvIII-expressing GBMs.

    Abstract: Purpose: Anti-EGF receptor (EGFR) antibodies and small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors have shown activity in epithelial tumors; however, agents that work by blocking the EGFR growth signal are ineffective when the oncogenic stimulus arises downstream, such as in tumors with KRAS mutations. Antibodies of the IgG1 subclass can also kill tumor cells directly through antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), and the efficacy of this is determined by the interaction of the Fc portion of the target cell–bound antibody and Fc receptors present on immune effector cells. Experimental Design: We report the development of GA201, a novel anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody with enhanced ADCC properties. GA201 was derived by humanization of the rat ICR62 antibody. The Fc region of GA201 was glycoengineered to contain bisected, afucosylated carbohydrates for enhanced binding to FcγRIIIA. Results: In vitro binding of GA201 to EGFR inhibited EGF ligand binding, EGFR/HER2 heterodimerization, downstream signaling, and cell proliferation to a similar extent as cetuximab. However, GA201 exhibited superior binding to both the low- and high-affinity variants of FcγRIIIA. This resulted in significantly enhanced induction of ADCC compared with cetuximab against both KRAS-wild-type and -mutant tumor cells lines. This enhanced ADCC translated into superior in vivo efficacy in a series of mouse xenograft models. Efficacy of GA201 was further increased when administered in combination with chemotherapy (irinotecan). Conclusions: These data suggest that GA201 may be more effective than cetuximab in patients with EGFR-positive solid tumors and may also represent a first-in-class treatment of patients with KRAS-mutated tumors.
