Tebotelimab, a bispecific PD-1×LAG-3 DART molecule that blocks both PD-1 and LAG-3, was investigated for clinical safety and activity in a phase 1 dose-escalation and cohort-expansion clinical trial in patients with solid tumors or hematologic malignancies and disease progression on previous treatment. Primary endpoints were safety and maximum tolerated dose of tebotelimab when administered as a single agent (The bispecific molecule tebotelimab, which blocks both PD-1 and LAG-3, is well tolerated as a monotherapy and in combination with the anti-HER-2 antibody margetuximab and elicits encouraging clinical activity in solid tumors with high LAG-3 levels and/or expression of IFN-γ-regulated genes.
