Bifunctional Blockade: A Novel Immunotherapy Approach for Cervical Cancer

Clin Cancer Res. 2022 Dec 15;28(24):5238-5240. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-22-1779.

Abstract

SHR-1701, a bispecific fusion protein directed against PD-L1 and TGFβ, demonstrates promising clinical activity in advanced/recurrent cervical cancer. A recent study serves as a proof of principle that the TGFβ pathway may be successfully targeted, and that bispecific antibodies offer a novel therapeutic approach to do so. See related article by Feng et al., p. 5297.
