Current status and future perspectives of bispecific antibodies in the treatment of lung cancer

Monoclonal antibodies have been successfully incorporated into the current therapeutical landscape of lung cancer in the last decades. Recently, with technological advances, bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) have also shown robust efficacy in the treatment of malignant cancers, including lung cancer. These antibodies target two independent epitopes or antigens and have been extensively explored in translational and clinical studies in lung cancer. Here, we outline the mechanisms of action of bsAbs, related clinical data, ongoing clinical trials, and potent novel compounds of various types of bsAbs in clinical studies, especially in lung cancer. We also propose future directions for the clinical development of bsAbs, which might bring a new era of treatment for patients with lung cancer.
