Abcuro Initiates Phase 1/2 Trial Evaluating ABC008 in Patients with T Cell Large Granular Lymphocytic Leukemi

T-LGLL is an autoimmune disorder characterized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes which attack neutrophils and red blood cell precursors

Excerpt from the Press Release:

NEWTON, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Abcuro, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapies for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer through precise modulation of cytotoxic T and NK cells, today announced initiation of a Phase 1/2 dose escalation trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and proof-of-concept of ABC008 in patients with T cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGLL) who suffer from anemia and/or neutropenia. ABC008 is a first-in-class anti-KLRG1 antibody capable of selectively depleting highly cytotoxic T cells, while sparing regulatory T cells, central memory T cells, and other immune cells.

“Initiating the Phase 1/2 clinical trial of ABC008 represents an important step toward a potential breakthrough in the treatment of T-LGLL,” said Jeffrey Wilkins, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Abcuro. “This trial builds upon prior published data demonstrating the ability of ABC008 to deplete highly cytotoxic T cells, which attack and destroy muscle tissue in inclusion body myositis, an autoimmune disease.”

T-LGLL is an autoimmune disorder characterized by clonally expanded CD3+ CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes which attack neutrophils and red blood cell precursors, leading to neutropenia and anemia. Neutropenia can lead to frequent infections, a major cause of premature death in patients with T-LGLL, while anemia results in transfusion dependence in approximately one third of patients.
