Rationale:Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is associated with worse outcomes in bronchiectasis. Impaired neutrophil antimicrobial responses contribute to bacterial persistence. Gremubamab is a bivalent, bispecific monoclonal antibody targeting Psl exopolysaccharide and the type 3 secretion system component PcrV. Objectives: This study evaluated the efficacy of gremubamab to enhance killing of P. aeruginosa by neutrophils from patients with bronchiectasis and to prevent P. aeruginosa–associated cytotoxicity. Methods:P. aeruginosa isolates from a global bronchiectasis cohort (n = 100) underwent whole-genome sequencing to determine target prevalence. Functional activity of gremubamab against selected isolates was tested in vitro and in vivo. Patients with bronchiectasis (n = 11) and control subjects (n = 10) were enrolled, and the effect of gremubamab in peripheral blood neutrophil opsonophagocytic killing (OPK) assays against P. aeruginosa was evaluated. Serum antibody titers to Psl and PcrV were determined (n = 30; 19 chronic P. aeruginosa infection, 11 no known P. aeruginosa infection), as was the effect of gremubamab treatment in OPK and anti–cytotoxic activity assays. Measurements and Main Results: Psl and PcrV were conserved in isolates from chronically infected patients with bronchiectasis. Seventy-three of 100 isolates had a full psl locus, and 99 of 100 contained the pcrV gene, with 20 distinct full-length PcrV protein subtypes identified. PcrV subtypes were successfully bound by gremubamab and the monoclonal antibody–mediated potent protective activity against tested isolates. Gremubamab increased bronchiectasis patient neutrophil-mediated OPK (+34.6 ± 8.1%) and phagocytosis (+70.0 ± 48.8%), similar to effects observed in neutrophils from control subjects (OPK, +30.1 ± 7.6%). No evidence of competition between gremubamab and endogenous antibodies was found, with protection against P. aeruginosa–induced cytotoxicity and enhanced OPK demonstrated with and without addition of patient serum. Conclusions: Gremubamab enhanced bronchiectasis patient neutrophil phagocytosis and killing of P. aeruginosa and reduced virulence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
