Why Did Avelumab Eliminate the Benefit of Pelareorep? - Avelumab is the only licensed anti- PD-L1 Ab with a native Fc region that retains FcγR binding
- Hypothesis:
Binding of avelumab to Fc receptors impairs the expansion of T cell clones thereby diminishing the generation of potentially beneficial pelareorep-induced immune responses
- Possible Mechanisms: (1) Avelumab binding to the FcγR on NK cells may induce ADCC-mediated killing of T cells
(2) Binding of avelumab to the FcγR on Avelumab TAMs may drive them to an immunosuppressive M2 phenotype
(TAM = Tumor-associated macrophage)
