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: B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is expressed on malignant plasma cells. The present invention provides novel bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) that bind to both BCMA and CD3 and activate T cells via the CD3 complex in the presence of BCMA-expressing tumor cells. In certain embodiments, the bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the present invention are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumors expressing BCMA. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the invention are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which an upregulated or induced BCMA-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.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating cancer and inhibiting cytokine release syndrome (CRS). The methods of the present invention comprise administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a CD40 antagonist or a CAR-T cell expressing a CD40 antagonist in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of a CD3 multispecific antigen binding molecule.

Abstract: B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is expressed on malignant plasma cells. The present invention provides BCMA-specific chimeric antigen receptors and cells expressing such chimeric antigen receptors. In certain embodiments, engineered cells expressing the chimeric antigen receptors of the present invention are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumors expressing BCMA. The engineered cells of the invention are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which an upregulated or induced BCMA-targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial. For example, engineered cells expressing the BCMA-specific chimeric antigen receptors of the invention are useful for the treatment of various cancers, including multiple myeloma.
