Beyond immune checkpoint blockade: T cell engagers and antibody-drug conjugates in cancer and autoimmune disease.

New T cell-engaging and targeted therapies extend cancer treatment options beyond checkpoint blockers, with expanding clinical evidence.

This Biochemical Pharmacology review synthesizes the evolving landscape of T cell engager and ADC therapies beyond traditional immune checkpoint blockade, covering clinical data across bispecific antibodies and ADCs in oncology and autoimmune disease. Published concurrently with Phase I/II trial data for IMC-C103C (see PMID 42476725), the review provides timely context for the expanding clinical pipeline.
