June 3, 2024. Sanofi issued a press release stating that its CD38 monoclonal antibody Sarclisa has been approved in the United States as the first anti-CD38 therapy.

Sarclisa is the first anti-CD38 drug to significantly improve progression-free survival in combination with VRd for the treatment of newly diagnosed transplant-eligible multiple myeloma.

Approval based on positive results from the IMROZ phase 3 study demonstrating Sarclisa in combination with bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRd) significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS), compared to standard-of-care in newly diagnosed adult patients not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).

Third indication for Sarclisa, evaluated under FDA Priority Review, underscores Sanofi’s commitment to helping close a critical care gap in multiple myeloma (MM).

PD-1 × IL-2α-Bias: From Mechanistic Design to Durable Clinical Benefit
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have transformed cancer immunotherapy by restoring antitumor T-cell activity through blockade of the PD-1/PD-L1 axis. However, PD-1 inhibition alone does not always overcome the functional limitations of exhausted T cells, particularly in tumors with an immunosuppressive microenvironment or acquired resistance to immune checkpoint therapy.

This has driven growing interest in cytokine-based strategies that can simultaneously reinvigorate exhausted T cells and enhance their expansion and survival.
Among these approaches, PD-1 × IL-2 fusion proteins have emerged as a particularly interesting strategy. By combining PD-1-directed targeting with engineered IL-2 signaling, these molecules are designed to concentrate cytokine activity on PD-1-positive tumor-reactive T cells while reducing systemic IL-2 exposure.

The key challenge, however, lies not simply in combining PD-1 blockade with IL-2, but in determining how IL-2 receptor signaling should be engineered.
