Advantages of immune cell modulation in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases

Immune cell modulators are a novel therapeutic class with the potential to deliver differentiated outcomes in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases including dermatology, gastroenterology, and rheumatology

  • Checkpoint agonists “hit the brakes” to restore immune balance​ and deliver differentiated outcomes

  • ANB032 (BTLA agonist) modulates activated immune cells​:

    – Non-depleting

    • Reduce T cell proliferation and reduce cytokine secretion (Th1, Th2, Th17, Th22)
    • Modulate dendritic cells and induce Tregs
    • Agonize B cells

    Rosnilimab (PD-1 agonist) specifically targets activated T cells:

    – Depleting PD-1high T cells

    • Reduce T cell migration, proliferation & cytokine secretion
    • Reduce plasma cell generation & autoantibody levels
  • Membrane-proximal binding epitope and optimized Fc receptor binding affinity enables tight immune synapse and best-in-class potency
