A First-in-Human Study of Cinrebafusp Alfa, a HER2/4-1BB Bispecific Molecule, in Patients with HER2-Positive Advanced Solid Malignancies.

Purpose: 4-1BB (CD137) is a costimulatory immune receptor expressed on activated T cells, activated B cells, NK cells, and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, making it a promising target for cancer immunotherapy. Cinrebafusp alfa, a monoclonal antibody-like bispecific protein targeting HER2 and 4-1BB, aims to localize 4-1BB activation to HER2-positive tumors. This study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of cinrebafusp alfa in patients with previously treated HER2-positive malignancies.
