Abstract
Claudin 18.2 has emerged as a validated target in solid tumors, spurring next-generation therapies. Bispecific antibodies linking Claudin 18.2 to conditional 4-1BB activation offer a novel approach to enhance T cell function. By confining co-stimulation to the tumor microenvironment, they aim to boost efficacy while limiting systemic toxicity.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Cancer Research is a journal focusing on groundbreaking research in cancer, specifically in the areas where the laboratory and the clinic intersect. Our primary interest lies in clinical trials that investigate novel treatments, accompanied by research on pharmacology, molecular alterations, and biomarkers that can predict response or resistance to these treatments. Furthermore, we prioritize laboratory and animal studies that explore new drugs and targeted agents with the potential to advance to clinical trials. We also encourage research on targetable mechanisms of cancer development, progression, and metastasis.
