Vitalina Dzutseva: Could mRNA Encoded TCEs Transform B Cell Depletion?

Vitalina Dzutseva, Senior Medical Director, GPS, Cell and Gene Therapy at AstraZeneca, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Mengyan Wang et al., published in Cell Press, adding:

“While T cell engagers (TCEs) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy show clinical promise for B cell depletion, challenges regarding safety, efficacy, and durability persist.

ABO2203 is a lipid nanoparticle-formulated messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding a CD19-targeting TCE. In transgenic mice, ABO2203 induced complete B cell depletion with attenuated cytokine release compared with TCE protein.

In a first-in-human study involving three patients with refractory secondary immune thrombocytopenia, ABO2203 achieved rapid and complete peripheral B cell depletion, with sustained depletion in bone marrow.

Patients exhibited durable platelet recovery, improved serology, and reduced disease activity through 6 months of follow-up. ABO2203 was well tolerated, presenting only grade 1 and 2 adverse events without cytokine release syndrome.

B cell reconstitution was observed with predominant transitional and naive B cells.

These findings establish mRNA-encoded TCEs as a potent and safer therapeutic modality for B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.”
