Anti-B7-H4/TOP1i Antibody-drug Conjugate GSK5733584
nci_thesaurus_definition
An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of a humanized immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against B7-H4 (V-set domain-containing T-cell activation inhibitor 1; VTCN1; B7x; B7S1) linked, via a protease-cleavable linker, to a topoisomerase-1 inhibitor (TOP1i; TOP-Ii), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration of anti-B7-H4/ TOP1i ADC GSK5733584, the anti-B7-H4 monoclonal antibody moiety targets and binds to B7-H4 expressed on tumor cells. Upon binding and internalization, the TOP1i moiety binds to TOP1 and stabilizes cleaved DNA-TOP1 complexes. This prevents DNA re-ligation, induces irreversible DNA strand breaks, prevents DNA repair, and leads to cycle arrest and apoptosis specifically in tumor cells expressing B7-H4. B7-H4, a member of the B7 family of immune modulators, is upregulated in a variety of tumor cell types and tumor-associated macrophages. It negatively regulates T-cell immune responses.

drug_mechanism_of_action
Humanized IgG1 anti-B7-H4 antibody linked via a protease-cleavable linker to a topoisomerase I inhibitor. After binding B7-H4 on tumor cells and internalization, the payload inhibits TOP1 by stabilizing TOP1-DNA cleavage complexes, blocking DNA re-ligation and causing DNA strand breaks, cell-cycle arrest, and apoptosis in B7-H4-expressing tumor cells.
