Publication number: 20230390390Abstract: CD4+Foxp3?PD-1hi T cells (4PD1hi) that increase in tumor-bearing hosts after immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) constitute an unconventional T-cell inhibitory subset with TFH-like features, which can affect the outcome of cancer immunotherapy. Inhibition of the molecular pathway leading to the development of TFH cells and TFH-like 4PD1hi cells improves response to ICB therapy.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2021Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Jedd Wolchok, Roberta Zappasodi, Taha Merghoub

Publication number: 20230039577Abstract: The present disclosure provides antibodies that specifically bind to human glucocorticoid-induced TNFR family related receptor (GITR) and compositions comprising such antibodies. In a specific aspect, the antibodies specifically bind to human GITR and modulate GITR activity, e.g., enhance, activate or induce GITR activity, utilizing such antibodies. The present disclosure also provides methods for treating disorders, such as cancer and infectious diseases, by administering an antibody that specifically binds to human GITR and modulates GITR activity e.g., enhances, activates or induces GITR activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2022Publication date: February 9, 2023Inventors: Ana M. GONZALEZ, Nicholas S. Wilson, Dennis J. Underwood, Volker Seibert, Olivier Léger, Marc Van Dijk, Roberta Zappasodi, Taha Merghoub, Jedd David Wolchok, David Schaer, Gerd Ritter, Takemasa Tsuji

Publication number: 20210179714Abstract: Increases in CD4+Foxp3?PD-Ihi T cells (4PD1hi) in tumor-bearing hosts after CTLA-4 blockade show that these cells constitute an unconventional T-cell inhibitory subset with TFH-like features, which can affect the outcome of cancer immunotherapy. Evidence is provided that anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies arc a viable option to control these cells. Furthermore, treating cancer by administering immune checkpoint blockade therapy and monitoring circulating 4PD1hi provides a more precise or personalized design of combination immunotherapies.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2018Publication date: June 17, 2021Inventors: Jedd WOLCHOK, Roberta ZAPPASODI, Taha MERGHOUB
