Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) antibody comprised of a humanized Fc-silenced immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) backbone and two single-chain variable fragments (scFvs): one directed against the CD3 antigen expressed on T-lymphocytes and another directed against the alpha-chain of the interleukin-3 receptor (IL-3RA; CD123), with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon intravenous infusion, anti-CD123/CD3 BiTE antibody SAR440234 binds to both CD3 expressed on T-cells and CD123 expressed on tumor cells. This activates and redirects cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) to CD123-expressing tumor cells, leading to enhanced CTL-mediated elimination of CD123-expressing tumor cells. CD123 is overexpressed in a variety of hematological malignancies; its expression is low or absent in normal hematopoietic progenitors and stem cells.

Sar440234 has been investigated in 1 clinical trial, of which 0 are open and 1 is closed. Of the trial investigating sar440234, 1 is phase 1/phase 2 (0 open).

Complex karyotype, Loss of Y, and Monosomy 7 are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for sar440234 clinical trials.

Acute myeloid leukemia, B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes are the most common diseases being investigated in sar440234 clinical trials [2].
