Abstract
Background Telazorlimab is a humanized anti-OX40 monoclonal antibody being studied for treatment of T-cell-mediated diseases. Objective This randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 2b dose-range finding study investigated efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of telazorlimab in subjects with atopic dermatitis. Methods In this 2-part study (NCT03568162), adults (≥18 years) with moderate-to-severe disease were randomized to various regimens of subcutaneous telazorlimab or placebo for 16 weeks' blinded treatment, followed by 38 weeks' open-label treatment and 12 weeks' drug-free follow-up. Telazorlimab treatment groups (following a loading dose) in part 1 were 300 mg every 2 weeks; 300 mg every 4 weeks; or 75 mg every 4 weeks. Part 2 evaluated telazorlimab 600 mg every 2 weeks. The primary end point was percentage change from baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) at week 16. Safety assessments included incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events. Results The study randomized 313 subjects in part 1 and 149 in part 2. At 16 weeks, the least squares mean percentage change from baseline in EASI was significantly greater in subjects receiving telazorlimab 300 mg every 2 weeks (part 1) and 600 mg every 2 weeks (part 2) versus placebo (-54.4% vs -34.2% for part 1 and -59.0% vs -41.8% for part 2, P = .008 for both). Telazorlimab was well tolerated, with similar distribution of adverse events between telazorlimab- and placebo-treated subjects in both part 1 and part 2. Conclusion Telazorlimab, administered subcutaneously at 300 mg every 2 weeks or 600 mg every 2 weeks following a loading dose, was well tolerated and induced significant and progressive clinical improvement in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis.

Abstract
The mechanisms regulating exhaustion of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and responsiveness to PD-1 blockade remain partly unknown. In human ovarian cancer, we show that tumor-specific CD8+ TIL accumulate in tumor islets, where they engage antigen and upregulate PD-1, which restrains their functions. Intraepithelial PD-1+CD8+ TIL can be, however, polyfunctional. PD-1+ TIL indeed exhibit a continuum of exhaustion states, with variable levels of CD28 costimulation, which is provided by antigen-presenting cells (APC) in intraepithelial tumor myeloid niches. CD28 costimulation is associated with improved effector fitness of exhausted CD8+ TIL and is required for their activation upon PD-1 blockade, which also requires tumor myeloid APC. Exhausted TIL lacking proper CD28 costimulation in situ fail to respond to PD-1 blockade, and their response may be rescued by local CTLA-4 blockade and tumor APC stimulation via CD40L.
