• Tremelimumab (CP 675,206) is a fullyhumanized IgG2 mAb that antagonizesbinding of CTLA-4 to B7 ligands.

– Antitumor activity has been demonstrated in a variety of murine tumor models

– It has shown efficacy on melanoma patients after single ormultiple doses. Similar drug Ipilimumab already approvedfor metastatic melanoma.

– It had not been tested against hepatocellular carcinoma

– Its antiviral effect had not been tested whatsoever

Tumor Response (Efficacy Population)

HCC and Programmed Death-1

(PD-1)

• HCC is typically an inflammation-associated cancer and can be immunogenic1

• Association of hepatitis C and hepatitis B infection with upregulation of PD-12,3

• Upregulation of PD-1 and the PD-1 immune checkpoint ligand, PD-L1, in HCC is

associated with poor outcomes4

• Blockade of PD-1 with monoclonal antibodies combined with immunostimulatory

monoclonal antibodies extended survival in a mouse model of HCC5,6

• Immune checkpoint inhibition (anti-CTLA-4) has shown encouraging activity in an early

clinical trial in HCC7

• PD-1 blockade with nivolumab may boost host immunity against HCC and improve clinical

outcomes

Study Design

• Patients received nivolumab Q2W for up to 2 years (maximum of 48 doses), depending on response

– Imaging for disease assessment performed every 6 weeks

• A 3+3 design was used in the phase 1 dose escalation phase

• Here, we report interim results from the ongoing dose escalation phase and part of the expansion phase

Enforce costimulation

• CD137, also known as 4-1BB, is a surface glycoprotein involved in T cell costimulation

• Its cognate ligand is CD137L, which is expressed on APCs

• Functions: T cell proliferation, inhibition of apoptosis, enhances cytotoxic activity, cytokine production

• Therapeutic target: treatment with agonist anti-CD137 monoclonal antibodies can overcome tumour antigen tolerance

• Anti-human CD137 agonist monoclonal antibodies are undergoing phase I/II clinical trials
