Translation and Clinical Development of Bispecific T‐cell Engaging Antibodies for Cancer Treatment

Bispecific T‐cell Engagers (BiTE®) antibody constructs enable a polyclonal T‐cell response to cell‐surface tumor‐associated antigens, bypassing the narrow specificities of T‐cell receptors and the need for antigen presentation through the major histocompatibility complex pathways. Blinatumomab, a CD...

Sumario:Bispecific T‐cell Engagers (BiTE®) antibody constructs enable a polyclonal T‐cell response to cell‐surface tumor‐associated antigens, bypassing the narrow specificities of T‐cell receptors and the need for antigen presentation through the major histocompatibility complex pathways. Blinatumomab, a CD19xCD3 BiTE® antibody construct, received accelerated approval for the treatment of relapsed/refractory Philadelphia chromosome negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Herein we review the pharmacology, safety, and efficacy observed in studies of blinatumomab and other BiTE® antibody constructs. Quantitative systems pharmacology is envisioned as a means to optimize dosing decisions for trials in which BiTE® antibody constructs are administered as monotherapy or in combination with other immunotherapies.
