DLL3/CD3 T-cell Engager

A bridge between DLL3-expressing tumor cells and cytolytic T cells

BI 764532: DLL3/CD3 T-cell engager

Our delta-like canonical Notch ligand 3/cluster of differentiation 3 (DLL3/CD3) T-cell engager (BI 764532) * acts as a bridge that directs the activity of cytolytic T cells selectively to DLL3-expressing tumors.1-3

Clinical trials: Our DLL3/CD3 T-cell engager is being investigated in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and other neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs).4-10

*This is an investigational compound and has not been approved. Its safety and efficacy have not been established.

Clinical development

Preclinical results have shown that DLL3/CD3 monotherapy potently inhibited tumor growth in DLL3-positive SCLC xenograft models in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. It also modulated the inflammatory environment in the tumor tissue by redirecting CD4-positive and CD8-positive T-cell cytotoxicity toward DLL3-postitive SCLC cells, without affecting DLL3-negative target cells.2

Our DLL3/CD3 T-cell engager is being evaluated in Phase I and II clinical trials in patients with SCLC and NECs.4-10
