Published: December 2024

The rapid development of novel therapeutics in B-cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL) over the past decade has presented a critical inflection point for the field. Bispecific antibodies are one such therapeutic class emerging as an effective, off-the-shelf option for B-NHL. In this review, we focus primarily on Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), highlighting the evolution, comparison, tolerability, ongoing challenges, and future potential of bispecific antibodies that are currently approved or in clinical trials for B-NHL. With the number of anti-lymphoma drugs increasing every year, it is important to optimize clinical trial analysis and design so that outcomes, toxicities, and predictors thereof can be understood and compared amongst therapeutic classes to ensure that patients get the safest and most effective treatments for them at the most appropriate line of therapy.

Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has revolutionized treatment options for B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). CD19-targeting CAR-T cell therapy is approved for treatment in Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, Follicular Lymphoma, Mantle Cell Lymphoma, and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma. CAR-T cells demonstrate robust and durable responses even in heavily pretreated patients.

Bispecific antibodies (bAbs) that engage cerebrovascular targets, induce transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and redistribute to secondary targets within the brain parenchyma have the potential to transform the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of central nervous system disorders. Full understanding of the pharmacokinetics (PK) of these agents, including their potential for delivering cargo into brain parenchymal cells, is a key priority for the development of numerous potential therapeutic applications. To date, the brain PK of bAbs that target transferrin receptor (TfR-1) and CD98 heavy chain (CD98hc) has been characterized using techniques incapable of distinguishing between CNS clearance of intact protein from uptake and catabolism by brain parenchymal cells.

ANCA vasculitis is a systemic autoimmune small-vessel vasculitis characterized by autoantibodies targeting either MPO or PR3. While patients with ANCA vasculitis are successfully treated with broad-spectrum immunosuppression, these treatments often leave patients vulnerable to infections. Research in the field has made positive gains in regards to understanding autoantigen specificity and immune cell subset involvement in disease pathogenesis, relapse and remission.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors worldwide, often diagnosed at an advanced stage with a poor prognosis. Paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, and irinotecan, either as monotherapies or in combination with ramucirumab, are currently standard second-line treatments for GC. However, the efficacy of these therapies is limited, necessitating the development of new combination strategies to improve response rates.
