Abstract: CD38 is expressed on malignant plasma cells. CD28 is a costimulatory molecule required for T-cell activation and survival. Provided herein are novel anti-CD38 antibodies, anti-CD28 antibodies, and bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) that bind to both CD38 and CD28 and act as costimulatory agents to activate T cells via binding CD80 and/or CD86. In certain embodiments, the bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the present invention are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumors expressing CD38. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the invention are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which an upregulated or induced CD38-targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial. For example, the bispecific antibodies of the invention are useful for the treatment of various cancers, including multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and leukemia.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides interferon receptor agonists with improved safety profiles and therapeutic indices. The interferon receptor agonists are attenuated through masking and/or reduced receptor binding as compared to a wild-type interferon. IFN receptor agonists optionally further comprise a targeting moiety, e.g., a targeting moiety that recognizes a tumor- or immune cell-associated antigen and directs the interferon receptor agonist to a tumor site and/or tumor-reactive immune cells. The disclosure further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the interferon receptor agonists, and methods of use of the interferon receptor agonists in therapy, as well as nucleic acids encoding the interferon receptor agonists, recombinant cells that express the interferon receptor agonists and methods of producing the interferon receptor agonists.

Abstract: CD38 is expressed on malignant plasma cells. 4-1BB is a costimulatory molecule required for T-cell activation and survival. Provided herein are novel multispecific antigen binding molecules (MABMs) that bind to both CD38 and 4-1BB, for example, to provide “signal 2” in order to enhance the activation of T cells in the presence of a “signal 1”, provided by a Tumor-associated antigen (TAA)×CD3 bispecific antibody or an allogeneic response provided by an antigen presenting cell. In certain embodiments, the multispecific antigen binding molecules of the present invention are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumors expressing CD38. The multispecific antigen binding molecules of the invention are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which an upregulated or induced CD38-targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides IL2 proproteins comprising an IL2 moiety that is masked with an IL2R? moiety and a protease-cleavable linker, configured such that the IL2R? moiety is released from the IL2 moiety upon the action of a protease, e.g., at a tumor site. The IL2 proproteins optionally further comprise a targeting moiety, e.g., a targeting moiety that recognizes a tumor-associated antigen and directs the proprotein to a tumor site. The disclosure further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the IL2 proproteins, and methods of use of the IL2 proproteins in therapy, as well as nucleic acids encoding the IL2 proproteins, recombinant cells that express the IL2 proproteins and methods of producing the IL2 proproteins.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods for treating cancer and for ameliorating cytokine release syndrome in a subject with a tumor.
