Multiomic evaluation of TEV-56278, a PD-1-targeted attenuated IL-2 molecule, in a human ex vivo tumor model and association with immune activation with enhanced effector CD8 T cell selectivity. (ASCO 2025) - " PDTF from 15 renal cell carcinoma patients were treated ex vivo with TEV-56278 [100 µg/ml], aldesleukin [100 ng/ml, as positive control], or a control PD-1 non-targeted-AttIL-2 [100 µg/ml]. We performed in-depth characterization of TEV-56278 in a human tumor ex vivo system that incorporates features of the tumor microenvironment and models the dynamic response of TEV-56278. This study confirms that TEV-56278 targets IL-2 activity to PD-1 expressing T cells within the tumor microenvironment and induces strong immune response, thereby promoting anti-tumor activity. Understanding the mechanisms that drive variable responses in PDTF may improve precision immuno-oncology efforts and help optimize our clinical development strategy."

Biologics for the treatment of alopecia areata: A comprehensive review of clinical trials (SID 2025) - "Studies examining Dupilumab, Secukinumab, Tralokinumab, Abatacept, Alefacept, Efalizumab, and Aldesleukin were identified. Biologics offer a favorable safety profile and hold potential as therapeutic options for AA, although response rates remain inconsistent. Further research is needed to optimize these therapies, identify more effective targets, and determine predictors of clinical response."

Leveraging Immuno-STAT stimulation via TCR and IL-2 signaling to specifically control CAR T cell expansion and persistence in vivo (ASGCT 2025) - P1 | "IL-2 signaling through a CAR-independent circuit uniquely eradicated solid tumor models [1], but the clinical utility of non-specific cytokine CAR-T support (e.g. IL2; aldesleukin) is limited by toxicity...The first clinical-stage Immuno-STAT, CUE-101, selectively activates and expands HPV-specific CD8+ T-cells and is associated with durable anti-tumor responses in HPV+ recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancers, with the objective response rate more than doubled in combination with pembrolizumab vs historic control of pembrolizumab alone (NCT03978689, [3])... We demonstrate that Immuno-STAT treatment together with engineering co-expression of cognate exogenous TCR can specifically control the expansion and persistence of CAR-T cells. Leveraging the clinical experience with CUE-101, we anticipate future evaluation of this approach to determine whether Immuno-STAT-controlled expansion of E.T.CAR-T can enhance and control expansion/persistence of adoptive cellular..."

Targeting the intracellular immune checkpoint CISH with CRISPR-Cas9-edited T cells in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer: a first-in-human, single-centre, phase 1 trial. (PubMed, Lancet Oncol) - P1/2 | "These results support the safety and potential antitumour activity of inhibiting the immune checkpoint CISH through the administration of neoantigen-reactive CISH-knockout TILs, with implications for patients with advanced metastatic cancers refractory to checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapies, and provide the first evidence that a novel intracellular checkpoint can be targeted with therapeutic effect."

IOV-5001, autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) armored with inducible membrane-tethered IL-12, shows enhanced antitumor efficacy with an improved cellular state (AACR 2025) - "IOV-5001 demonstrated superior killing and effector cytokine production compared with unmodified TIL in a tumor antigen-directed TCR killing assay and against autologous tumor, irrespective of aldesleukin support. These findings demonstrate that IOV-5001 with inducible and membrane-tethered IL-12 confers superior antitumor activity compared with unmodified TIL. The enhanced molecular and functional characteristics highlight IOV-5001 as a promising product for enhancing TIL efficacy in solid tumors."

A first-in-class αPD-1/αVEGF/IL-2v tri-specific fusion protein demonstrates promising anti-tumor efficacy in immune checkpoint inhibitor-resistant tumor models (AACR 2025) - "The αPD-1/αVEGF/IL-2v exhibited blocking activity against PD-1/PD-L1 binding comparable to pembrolizumab, showed VEGF/VEGFR blockade activity similar to that of αVEGF antibody, and effectively induced CD8+ T cell activation comparable to aldesleukin. The murine surrogate of αPD-1/αVEGF/IL-2v demonstrated dose-dependent anti-tumor efficacy, superior to αPD-1 or αPD-1/αVEGF bispecific antibody in both ICI-resistant MC38 and B16F10 tumor models without body weight loss. In conclusion, αPD-1/αVEGF/IL-2v represents a first-in-class tri-specific fusion protein with therapeutic potential to overcome the limitations of αPD-1 or αPD-1/αVEGF therapies."
