Antibodies against TIM-3, a checkpoint on exhausted T cells and myeloid cells, tested mostly with PD-1 drugs and in blood cancers.
T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3, gene HAVCR2) marks the most exhausted T cells and is also expressed on leukaemic stem cells and myeloid cells. Antibodies such as sabatolimab and cobolimab have been tested with PD-1 blockade in solid tumours and with hypomethylating agents in myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukaemia; the STIMULUS programme in MDS did not meet its endpoints, and development is concentrated in combination settings.
Antibodies block TIM-3 binding to galectin-9, phosphatidylserine and CEACAM1, restoring T-cell and innate immune function.
Cobolimab is an experimental investigational agent whose form is not stated in the registry from GlaxoSmithKline in phase 3 trials for non-small-cell lung cancer, melanoma and hodgkin lymphoma, with its target not yet stated publicly.
