ABL503-a PD-L1 and 4-1BB dual-targeting bispecific antibody-elicits pronounced additive tumor growth inhibition, with increased infiltration and functionality of exhausted CD8+ T cells, which in turn enhances the anti-cancer effects of anti-PD-1 blockade. These promising findings suggest that ABL503 (TJ-L14B) in combination with PD-1 inhibitors will likely further enhance therapeutic benefit in clinical trials.
