S-4321, a novel dual-cell bifunctional PD-1:FcγRIIb selective agonist antibody for autoimmune disease, maintains expression of PD-1 on target cells and enhances inhibitory receptor expression on T cells in vivo (ACR Convergence 2025) - "In contrast to first-generation PD-1 agonists, treatment with S-4321 does not result in loss of PD-1 expression on T cells, induction of proinflammatory cytokines, or depletion of PD-1+ Tregs. S-4321 enhances TIGIT expression on PD-1+ T cells. S-4321 has the potential to restore immune homeostasis in cell-mediated autoimmune diseases and its high bioavailability will allow for convenient drug administration."

S-4321, a Novel Dual-Cell Bidirectional PD-1:FcγRIIb Selective Agonist Antibody for the Treatment of Autoimmune Disease (FOCIS 2025) - "S-4321 also selectively engages FcγRIIb, avoiding the induction of proinflammatory cytokines and undesirable depletion of PD-1 expressing T cells, such as Tregs, by antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) through engagement of activating FcγR. In summary, S-4321 engages inhibitory receptors on both sides of the T cell-APC synapse, decreases T cell activation, preserves target expression and does not result in the elimination of PD1+ T cells important for the maintenance of a normal immune homeostasis."

S-4321, a Novel Dual-cell Bidirectional PD-1:FcγRIIb Selective Agonist Antibody for the Treatment of Autoimmune Disease (ACR Convergence 2024) - "S-4321 is a novel DcB PD-1:FcγRIIb agonist that engages inhibitory receptors on both sides of the T cell-APC synapse. It agonizes PD-1 without causing target or cell depletion and its high bioavailability allows for convenient administration. In vivo, S-4321 decreases T cell activation that contributes to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases and avoids the depletion of Tregs, important for restoring peripheral tolerance."
