TIGIT: Highly Promising Novel Target for Immuno-Oncology What is TIGIT? (aka T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains) A critical regulator of innate and adaptive immune response A key synergistic mechanism to anti PD-1 therapy Hence, a natural partner for PD-1 combination therapy – particularly active in TIGIT-expressing tumors Target of high interest, externally validated by late-stage Roche and Merck TIGIT programs Agenus’ TIGIT programs have unique properties to optimize anti-tumor activity TIGIT Monospecific - AGEN1327: TIGIT antibody differentiated via “Fc enhanced” backbone for superior tumor killing as monotherapy or in combination with PD-1 TIGIT Bispecific - AGEN1777: TIGIT bispecific which also inhibits an undisclosed receptor expressed on T and NK cells
