Talvey: animal efficacy model or human cells?

talquetamab · GPRC5D x CD3
Efficacy evidence
Myeloma cell line xenografts (H929 prophylactic; MM.1S, RPMI 8226 established) in humanized immunodeficient mice
“The in vivo antitumor activity of talquetamab was evaluated in cell line-derived xenograft (CDX) mouse models. These studies evaluated the prevention of tumorigenesis in a prophylactic model (H929 cell line) and tumor growth inhibition (TGI) in established tumor models (MM.1S and RPMI 8226 cell lines).”

Why that model
No binding to murine CD3, so efficacy mice were humanized with human PBMCs or T-cells
“Talquetamab does not bind murine CD3; therefore, the CDX studies were conducted in immunodeficient mice that were humanized by intravenous (IV) implantation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or human T-cells.”

Reviewer's view of the efficacy data
EMA: xenograft studies gave in vivo proof of concept despite failure in the second therapeutic model
“Although talquetamab failed in second therapeutic xenograft tumour model (other MM origin cells and use of human pan T-cell implantation), these studies provided the proof of concept for in vivo functionality for this bi-specific Mab.”
