Rationale for Dual Targeting of PD-1 and LAG-3 • Checkpoint molecules are leveraged by tumors or APCs to evade the immune system • PD-1 and LAG-3 receptors are expressed on “exhausted” T-cells • Interactions with corresponding ligands negates anti-tumor T cell activity • Synergy of anti-PD-1 + anti-LAG-3 mAbs in animal tumor models • Combination trials of anti-PD-1 plus anti-LAG-3 are ongoing • MGD013, an investigational DART protein, targets PD-1 and LAG-3 with a single molecule MGD013 anti-PD-1 • Greater synergistic T-cell activation (IFN-γ) anti- anti- with MGD013 compared with combination LAG-3 LAG-3 of individual constituents • DART bispecific platform: • Stable diabody format PD-1 × LAG-3 • Multiple configurations & applications Tetravalent Bispecific DART Molecule Jason J.
