Rimiducid

Identification

Summary

Rimiducid is a homodimerizing agent potentially used in combination with cellular immunotherapies for cancers and blood disorders to increase the therapeutic effectiveness.

Generic Name
Rimiducid
DrugBank Accession Number
DB04974
Background

Rimiducid is a lipid-permeable tacrolimus analogue and a protein dimerizer. It was designed to overcome limitations of current cellular immunotherapies used for cancer and other blood disorders by enhancing the control of the immune cell activity and function. When administered via chemically-inducible dimerization (CID) technologies, rimiducid binds to switch proteins and dimerizes them, triggering downstream signaling cascade.1,6 The combination use of rimiducid with immunotherapies for enhanced therapeutic effectiveness is currently under investigation.

Pharmacodynamics

Rimiducis is used to activate inducible caspase-9 produced by a modified gene included in some CAR T-cell therapies.2,3 This activation produces rapid induction of apoptosis in activated modified T-cells and resolution of the signs and symptoms of graft versus host disease within 24 hours.4

Mechanism of action

Rimiducid binds to a drug binding domain derived from human FK506-binding protein which is present on a modified form of inducible caspase-9.2 This binding results in dimerization and subsequent activation of caspase-9. This system was designed to function as a "safety switch" in CAR T-cell therapy used in hematological cancers. Retroviral vectors used in production of these modified cells preferentially integrate this gene nearby promoters associated with T-cell activation. This results in higher expression of the modified inducible caspase-9 product in activated T-cells. In practice, this allows for specific targeting of these active T-cells by rimiducid which results in a decrease in circulating cell numbers of over 90% in the setting of graft versus host disease. This specificity spares non-alloreactive T-cells and allows for successful reconstitution of the transplanted immune system from these cells.[24753538] Additionally, these non-alloreactive cells retain their sensitivity to rimiducid.
