  • Publication number: 20260132202
    Abstract: Provided herein are novel ?PD-L1 antibodies and methods of using such antibodies for the treatment of cancers. In some embodiments, the antibodies are ?PD-L1×?CD28 bispecific antibodies. Such antibodies enhance anti-tumor activity by providing a costimulatory signal for T-cell activation against tumor cells while advantageously also blocking inhibitory PD-L1:PD-1 pathway interactions.

  • Publication number: 20250388704
    Abstract: Provided herein are novel anti-CD28 x anti-PSMA antibodies and methods of using such antibodies for the treatment of PSMA-associated cancers. Subject anti-CD28 x anti-PSMA antibodies are capable of agonistically binding to CD28 costimulatory molecules on T cells and PSMA on tumor cells. Thus, such antibodies selectively enhance anti-tumor activity at tumor sites while minimizing peripheral toxicity. The subject antibodies provided herein are particularly useful in combination with other anti-cancer therapies (e.g., anti-CD3 x anti-PSMA antibodies) for the treatment of prostate cancers.
