The evolution of antitumor drug development has transitioned from single-agent chemotherapy to targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and more recently, multispecific drugs. These innovative drugs target multiple cellular or molecular pathways simultaneously, offering a more comprehensive anticancer approach and addressing some of the limitations inherent in traditional monotherapies. However, preclinical assessment of multispecific drugs remains challenging, as conventional tumor models often lack the necessary complexity to accurately reflect the interactions between various cell types and targets.

Backgroud: The introduction of highly active immunotherapies has changed the outcome of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHLs) in the last two decades. Since then, important progress has been shown using newer and more active immunotherapies, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T), conjugated monoclonal antibodies, and bispecific antobodies, which currently plays a significant role in the treatment of diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL), follicular (FL), and mantle cell (MCL) lymphoma.
Purpose: In this review, we provide an updated overview of recently completed and ongoing BsAb trials in patients with relapsed/refractory(R/R) B-NHL and Hodgkin's lymphoma, including single-agent results, emerging combinations, safety data, and novel constructs.

Oral cancer is a major global health concern, with high incidence and mortality rates, especially in high-risk populations. Early diagnosis remains a challenge, and current treatments, such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, have limited effectiveness, particularly in advanced stages. Recent advances in targeted therapies and immunotherapy offer promising alternatives, providing more precise and personalized treatment options.

Background: Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients are the dominant population in immune checkpoint blockade treatments, while more than half of them could not benefit from single-agent immunotherapy. We tried to identify the biomarker of MSI-H CRC and explore its role and mechanism in anti-PD-1 treatments. Tumor-specific MHC-II was linked to a better response to anti-PD-1 in MSI-H CRC and CD74 promoted assembly and transport of HLA-DR dimers.

Multiple immune components in the complex and heterogeneous tumor-immune microenvironment (TIME) work cooperatively to promote or impede cancer immunotherapy. Synergistically co-managing multiple immune cells with single agents for advanced antitumor immunity remains desirable but challenging. This In Focus article introduces a triple orthogonal linker (T-Linker)-based multimodal targeting chimera (Multi-TAC) platform, enabling the single-agent-mediated tumor-targeted co-engagement of multiple immune cell types within TIME for potentiated immunotherapy.
