摘要

Drug-based anti-tumor therapy is evolving from classical cytotoxic chemotherapy to increasingly specific immunotherapies. Unlike monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) target two different antigens, allowing them to either connect immune effector cells with tumor cells or to block two distinct signaling pathways in tumor cells. Several BsAbs have already been approved for treatment of hematologic malignancies and selected solid tumors. However, the mechanisms of resistance to BsAbs are not yet fully understood, and their side effects remain a major challenge in clinical practice. Furthermore, the optimal sequencing of BsAbs and other anti-tumor therapies, including CAR-T cells, has not been defined. In this review article, we discuss mechanisms of action and resistance, current clinical data, and future developments pertaining to BsAbs in hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.
