Targeting RGMb interactions: Discovery and preclinical characterization of potent anti-RGMb antibodies blocking multiple ligand bindings.

Therapeutic efficacy with durable responses has been demonstrated with several antibody drugs that block key immune checkpoint receptors, including PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4. Despite the success of these drugs, a substantial proportion of patients do not benefit. Targeting multiple inhibitory pathways simultaneously to augment anti-tumor immunity has proven to be a promising approach.
