PD-L1/4-1BB bispecific antibody with well-balanced efficacy and safety
BH3120 is a heterodimeric bispecific antibody
PENTAMBODY
designed to target 4-1BB and PD-L1 simultaneously to stimulate anti-tumor immune response either by inhibition of an immune checkpoint mechanism and by activation of a co-stimulatory signal in tumor microenvironment (TME) focused manner.
Non-clinical observations with BH3120, either as a monotherapy or in combination settings, consistently explain strong anti-tumor T cell activities in tumor tissue specific manner with clear dose dependency, while systemic immune response is minimally modulated.
These properties support further evaluation of the immune-modulating bispecific antibody, and BH3120 will be studied as a therapeutic candidate with multiple types of solid tumors.
