Orencia (abatacept) - BMS
A small molecule inhibitor of CD28 costimulation restrains pathogenic T-cell responses in inflammatory bowel disease. (PubMed, bioRxiv) - Oct 9, 2026 - "These findings support direct CD28 antagonism as a mechanistically differentiated alternative to B7-directed co-stimulation blockade for suppressing pathogenic T cell responses in preclinical models of IBD. A CD28-selective small molecule blocks pathogenic T cell activation and preserves Treg function unlike Abatacept in IBD models."
