Bispecific antibody based therapeutics: Strengths and challenges

Monoclonal antibody-based targeted therapy has greatly improved treatment options for patients. However, long-term efficacy of such antibodies is limited by resistance mechanisms. New insights into the mechanisms by which tumors evade immune control have driven innovative therapeutic strategies to eliminate cancer by re-directing immune cells to tumors. Advances in protein engineering technology have generated multiple bispecific antibody (BsAb) formats capable of targeting multiple antigens as a single agent.
