Comments about company or candidate NCT06158841 Phase 3 in MM started in May 2024. Dec 2022: Two Phase 1 studies started in 2022; NCT05650632 in MM started in March 2023 Amgen acquired Teneobio, Inc. June 2021: Still listed in AbbVie pipeline. Nov 2019: Teneobio announced that its bispecific antibody, TNB-383B, was granted orphan drug status as a potential therapy for multiple myeloma. NCT03933735 Phase 1 study started June 2019. February 11, 2019 I AbbVie, Teneobio, Inc. and its affiliate TeneoOne, Inc. announced that they have entered a global strategic transaction to develop and commercialize TNB-383B, a BCMA-targeting immunotherapeutic for the potential treatment of multiple myeloma. B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) has emerged as an attractive target for multiple myeloma therapeutics. Teneobio is expected to begin the clinical program for TNB-383B in the first half of 2019. Combination of Teneobio’s anti-CD3 antibodies with other fixed light chain or heavy chain antibodies enables a “plug-and-play” approach to tailor the next generation of bi- and multi-specific antibodies for T-cell redirection on a target-specific basis, with reduced toxicity compared to conventional CD3 engaging bispecifics. http://drug-dev.com/Main/Back-Issues/ANTIBODY-THERAPEUTICS-Teneobios-Next-Generation-of-1421.aspx

Description/comment

TNB-383B is a bispecific antibody that simultaneously targets BCMA and CD3, utilizing Teneobio's unique anti-CD3 platform. Through this dual targeting mechanism, TNB-383B is designed to direct the body's own immune system to target and kill BCMA expressing tumor cells. TNB-383B is a next-generation fully human bispecific monoclonal IgG4 antibody. It consists of two heavy and one light chain(s) paired using knob-in-hole technology. Heavy chain 1 and the kappa light chain form the paratope that recognizes and binds with low affinity to human CD3, whereas heavy chain 2 is composed of two identical VH domains in sequence and targets BCMA with high affinity and avidity https://doi.org/10.1002/jha2.69 Immunoglobulin G4-kappa, anti-[Homo sapiens CD3E (CD3 epsilon)] and anti-[Homo sapiens TNFRSF17 (TNF receptor superfamily member 17, BCMA, TNFRSF13A, CD269)], Homo sapiens and humanized monoclonal antibody, bispecific, trivalent;
