However, their clinical application is significantly hindered by systemic toxicities already at low doses, thus preventing escalation to therapeutically active regimens. One promising approach to overcoming these limitations is using antibody-cytokine fusion proteins (also called immunocytokines). These biopharmaceuticals leverage the targeting specificity of antibodies to deliver cytokines directly to the tumor microenvironment, thereby reducing systemic exposure and enhancing the therapeutic index. This review comprehensively examines the development and potential of antibody-cytokine fusion proteins in cancer therapy. It explores the molecular characteristics that influence the performance of these fusion proteins, and it highlights key findings from preclinical and clinical studies, illustrating the potential of immunocytokines to improve treatment outcomes in cancer patients. Recent advancements in the field, such as novel engineering strategies and combination strategies to enhance the efficacy and safety of immunocytokines, are also discussed. These innovations offer new opportunities to optimize this class of biotherapeutics, making them a more viable and effective option for cancer treatment. As the field continues to evolve, understanding the critical factors that influence the performance of immunocytokines will be essential for successfully translating these therapies into clinical practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":19534,"journal":{"name":"OncoTargets and therapy","volume":"17 ","pages":"697-715"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11368152/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142120296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
