Global Clinical Landscape & Future Outlook

The race for KLRB1 (CD161) therapeutics is intensifying, with major players shifting focus from traditional mAbs to bispecific/multispecific antibodies and combination regimens. As first-generation therapies reach the clinic, the next wave of R&D is targeting the reversal of T and NK cell exhaustion in immunologically "cold" tumors, such as glioblastoma and immunotherapy-resistant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
