Target Overview

Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) is a cell surface receptor that interacts with 2 ligands, programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) and programmed cell death ligand-2 (PD-L2), to deliver inhibitory signals to T cells, limiting their function.1 

T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) is expressed on the surface of T cells and natural killer cells, and participates in a complex regulatory network involving multiple co-inhibitory receptors—CD96 and CD112R—and one competing co-stimulatory receptor, CD226 (DNAM-1). TIGIT binds to several ligands, including CD155 (PVR), CD111, CD112, CD113, and CD114 (Nectin-4), which are expressed on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and are often upregulated on cancer cells. TIGIT binds with high affinity to CD155 and outcompetes the co-stimulatory receptor CD226. Similar to PD-1, TIGIT ligation delivers inhibitory signals to T cells, limiting their function.2

Within the preclinical setting, TIGIT and PD-1 dual blockade enhances CD8 T-cell activation and cytotoxicity against tumor cells beyond anti-PD(L)1 therapy.3

Compound Overview

Rilvegostomig (formerly AZD2936) is an investigational monovalent humanized dual-checkpoint bispecific IgG1 antibody with high affinity to PD-1 and TIGIT receptors. It is designed to deliver simultaneous and coordinated PD-1 and TIGIT blockade on the same immune effector cell. Rilvegostomig was engineered with a triple-mutation in its fragment crystallizable (Fc)-domain to minimize unwanted NK/macrophage-mediated depletion of PD1 or TIGIT-expressing effector cells.

Rilvegostomig’s bispecific format, allowing a coordinated dual checkpoint blockade, is anticipated to improve antitumor response by reinvigorating the activity of tumor-reactive immune effector cells. This simultaneous engagement of PD1 and TIGIT is expected to elicit greater immune activation than inhibiting either pathway alone.4-9

Rilvegostomig has the potential to become a next-generation IO backbone for combinations with other T cell-targeting agents, antibody-drug conjugates and standard-of-care chemotherapies.

Rilvegostomig is in Phase III ongoing clinical development in patients with advanced solid tumors, biliary tract cancer, gastric cancer, NSCLC, endometrial cancer, HCC, and urothelial cancer.
