Global Clinical Landscape & Future Outlook

The race for PDPN therapeutics is intensifying, with major players shifting focus from traditional mAbs to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), CAR-T therapies, and bispecific antibodies. As first-generation therapies reach the clinic, the next wave of R&D is targeting tumor-specific glycoforms (such as those identified by CasMab technology) to minimize on-target, off-tumor toxicities in normal tissues like lymphatic endothelium and pulmonary alveoli.
