Ex vivo efficacy of BCMA-bispecific antibody TNB-383B in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

ABSTRACT: TNB-383B is a fully human BCMA-targeting T-cell engaging bispecific monoclonal antibody (T-BsAb). We assessed ex vivo efficacy of this drug to mediate killing of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) freshly isolated from 10 patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM). BMMC were treated ex vivo with TNB-383B at doses ranging from 0.001-1 μg. Plasma cell (PC) lysis, viability, BCMA expression, CTL distribution, and degranulation were assessed by flow cytometry. Cytokine response to TNB-383B was quantified by multiplex protein assay. Dose-dependent PC lysis was triggered in all cases by TNB-383B at doses as low as 0.001 μg (P = .0102). Primary MM cells varied in BCMA expression. High BCMA⁺ PC count correlated with increased PC lysis (P = .005) and significant CTL de
