  • Publication number: 20240335557
    Abstract: STING pathway agonism has emerged as a potential therapeutic mechanism to stimulate an innate anti-tumor immune response. While in principle systemic administration of a STING agonist would have many therapeutic benefits, including the delivery of STING to all tumor lesions, such an approach may be limited by toxicity. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) constitute a proven therapeutic modality that is ideally suited to enable systemic administration without associated toxicity concerns via a targeted delivery strategy. Herein, we demonstrate that systemically administered STING agonist ADCs have greater anti-tumor activity as well as greatly improved tolerability compared to an intravenously (IV) administered, unconjugated (free) agonist. We generated novel STING agonist ADCs by leveraging our Immunosynthen platform, in which the chemical scaffold for bioconjugation is optimized for the STING agonist, resulting in an ADC that has desirable physicochemical and drug-like properties.

    Abstract: Provided are methods and compositions for treating an individual with cancer or infectious disease. Multivalent Dectin-2 stimulating agents are provided that include: (a) an agent that binds to Dectin-2 and stimulates Dectin-2 signaling; and (b) an antibody and/or an immunomodulatory agent, wherein (a) and (b) are conjugated to one another. In some cases, (a) is a mannobiose glycopolypeptide that binds to Dectin-2. In some cases (b) is a stimulatory ligand for a TLR (e.g., TLR7, TLR8, TLR7/8, TLR2, and the like). Methods of treating an individual with cancer and/or an infectious disease can include administering to the individual an effective amount of a Dectin-2 stimulating composition. In some cases, the Dectin-2 stimulating composition comprises a Dectin-2 stimulating glycopolymer. In some cases the Dectin-2 stimulating composition comprises a multivalent Dectin-2 stimulating agent.
