Teplizumab

Teplizumab (also known as PRV-031;[1] formerly also known as MGA031 and hOKT3γ1(Ala-Ala)) is a humanized anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody that is being evaluated for treatment and prevention of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) by the biopharmaceutical company Provention Bio.[1] Teplizumab has also been evaluated for treatment of renal allograft rejection, for induction therapy in islet transplant recipients, and for psoriatic arthritis.[2]

The Fc region of this antibody has been engineered to have Fc receptor non-binding (FNB) properties.[3] The mechanisms of action of teplizumab appear to involve weak agonistic activity on signaling via the T cell receptor-CD3 complex associated with the development of anergy, unresponsiveness, and/or apoptosis, particularly of unwanted activated Teff cells. In addition, regulatory cytokines are released and regulatory T cells are expanded that may lead to the reestablishment of immune tolerance [4][5]

This antibody has been used in clinical trials with the aim of protecting the remaining β-cells in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus patients.[6] Immunomodulatory agents such as anti-CD3-antibodies may restore normal glucose control if provided in very early stages of the disease, when there are still beta cells .[7]

Teplizumab was originally developed at University of Chicago in partnership with Ortho Pharmaceuticals, and was then further developed at MacroGenics, Inc.,[8][9] including a collaboration with Eli Lilly to conduct the first Phase 3 clinical trial in early-onset type 1 diabetes.[10] After the initial Phase 3 trial conducted by Macrogenics failed to meet the primary endpoint,[11] the drug was acquired by Provention Bio, which restarted development based on subset analysis of the original trials.[12][13]

A subsequent phase 2 study showed that teplizumab could delay the development of diabetes in family members of type I diabetics showing signs of progression towards diabetes by about two years after a single treatment, renewing interest in its use as a preventive rather than therapeutic treatment in high-risk patients.[14]
