Targeting CD40 with bispecifics to outsmart tumours

Drug Target Review

However, despite impressive advancements, many patients still do not respond to current immunotherapy treatments. This is partly because cancer cells are shrewd and often develop ways to evade immune detection. Prior attempts to target CD40 have been limited to varying degrees by unwanted immune activation causing side effects.
