Hazenberg 2,3,4 Background AT1412 was isolated using AIMSelect from B cells of a patient who was cured of stage IV metastatic melanoma AT1412 is a fully human patient derived IgG1 antibody that targets CD9. CD9 is overexpressed on many different types of tumor, making it an attractive target for immunotherapy. AT1412 binds CD9-expressing tumor cells including melanoma and gastric, colon- and pancreatic cancer. AT1412 is able to control human melanoma growth in vitro and in mice (Abstract #1310 Poster #532). In B-ALL, CD9 is expressed in 60-80% of cases and correlates with an adverse prognosis. Here we explore the efficacy of AT1412 for potential treatment of B-ALL.

AT1412 reduces B-ALL tumor burden in human immune system mice Conclusion AT1412 Is a fully human patient derived IgG1 antibody targeting CD9.

Does not induce thrombocyte aggregation, which is in sharp contrast to previously described CD9 antibodies.
