• Exploring how the dual-targeting design of LBL-051 is being leveraged to enhance therapeutic selectivity, deepen immune-cell depletion, and improve safety profiles, while addressing key translational challenges
• Evaluating predictive biomarkers, pharmacodynamic readouts, and translational immune-monitoring strategies that can validate target engagement, characterize immune-cell depletion, and support earlier assessment of clinical activity and durability
• Connecting emerging lessons from the evolving autoimmune T-cell engager clinical landscape with the development of LBL-051, using early human data and translational science to inform dose optimization, patient selection, and future clinical development strategies

As the first generation of autoimmune T-cell engagers advances through clinical development, the field is beginning to generate critical insights into safety management, depth of immune-cell depletion, patient selection, and long-term disease control. The key challenge now is determining which clinical learnings will truly differentiate successful therapies. Join clinical leaders, translational scientists, and developers of leading autoimmune T-cell engager programs as they discuss how emerging clinical evidence is reshaping drug design and development strategies by:

• Defining the clinical benchmarks for success, evaluating what early efficacy, safety, cytokine release syndrome, and durability data reveal about the therapeutic potential of T-cell engagers across different autoimmune diseases and patient populations
• Understanding the drivers of durable immune reset, exploring how depth of depletion and target biology, contribute to longterm remission, and identifying the biomarkers needed to predict sustained clinical benefit
• Translating clinical learnings into next-generation molecule design, discussing how insights from first-wave programs are informing improvements in target selection, construct engineering, dosing strategies, administration routes, and patient monitoring to enhance efficacy while minimizing treatment burden and safety risks
