Abstract

Delta-like 1 homolog (DLK1), a non-canonical Notch ligand, is highly expressed in various malignant tumors, especially in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). CBA-1205 is an afucosylated humanized antibody against DLK1 with enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). The binding characteristics of CBA-1205 were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and fluorescence-activated cell sorting assay. The ADCC activity of CBA-1205 was assessed. The anti-tumor efficacy of CBA-1205 was evaluated in xenograft mouse models, and toxicity and toxicokinetic profiles of CBA-1205 were evaluated in cynomolgus monkeys. CBA-1205 selectively bound to DLK1 among the Notch ligands and only to monkey and human DLK1. The binding epitope was between epidermal growth factor-like domains 1 and 2 of DLK1, which are not involved in any known physiological functions. The ADCC activity of CBA-1205 was confirmed using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells as effector cells. CBA-1205 as a single agent and in combination with lenvatinib demonstrated long-lasting anti-tumor efficacy, including tumor regression, in two liver cancer xenograft models. The toxicity and toxicokinetic profiles of CBA-1205 in cynomolgus monkeys were favorable. These findings suggest that CBA-1205 has the potential to be a useful therapeutic option for drug treatment in HCC. A phase 1 study is ongoing in patients with advanced cancers (jRCT2080225288, NCT06636435).
