BioNTech SE has signed an agreement to jointly develop OncoC4’s anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody candidate, ONC-392, for solid tumours. CTLA-4 is a molecule that works to delete immunosuppressive T cells (regulatory T cells, or Tregs), in tumours. It was designed to preserve CTLA-4 recycling and thus Treg function in the peripheral tissues. This therefore aims to produce fewer immune-related adverse effects and a positive safety profile.
