CTX-10726, a PD-1 x VEGF-A bispecific antibody discovered and engineered at Compass, exhibits a unique mechanism of action that has not been previously reported in this class of drugs, characterized by VEGF-A-dependent cleavage of PD-1 receptors from T cells resulting in conversion of PD-1 positive T cells into PD-1 negative T cells. PD-1 receptor cleavage by CTX-10726 was only observed in the presence of VEGF-A, suggesting targeted activity in the tumor microenvironment.
