Big thanks to Md Yuzaiful Md Yusof and RheumNow for inviting me to chat at the 2025 ACR Convergence meeting in Chicago. Our latest abstract dives into INB-619, our novel pan-gamma delta (γδ) T cell engager that is designed to activate and expand γδ T cells to drive B cells depletion in autoimmune disease. Unlike conventional T-cell engagers that rely on CD3 and can trigger serious inflammatory side effects, INB-619 uniquely leverages the γδ T cell receptor to activate and expand the body’s own γδ T cells. The result: - Complete B-cell depletion comparable to leading commercial therapies - Minimal cytokine release, suggesting a potentially safer profile - Dual expansion of both Vδ1 and Vδ2 subsets, covering tissue-resident and circulating immune compartments We believe this work opens the door to next-generation therapies for autoimmune diseases, harnessing the precision and power of γδ T cells without the toxicities often seen in traditional immune-modulating treatments.
