Akeso Inc. has announced promising preclinical research results for its novel monoclonal antibody, AK135, which targets the IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAP). The results were presented at the 40th Annual Meeting of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer $(SITC)$ in 2025. AK135 demonstrated high affinity for IL-1RAP and effectively blocked the IL-1, IL-33, and IL-36 pro-inflammatory signaling pathways in vitro, leading to reduced secretion of inflammatory cytokines. In animal models of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, AK135 provided significant, dose-dependent pain relief without notable toxicity. These findings suggest AK135 could offer a new treatment option for neuropathic pain in cancer patients.
