Global Clinical Landscape & Future Outlook

The therapeutic targeting of the Nectin-2/PVRIG pathway is emerging as a cornerstone of next-generation immune checkpoint blockade, particularly for patients refractory to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. As a key ligand overexpressed across multiple solid tumors (including ovarian, endometrial, lung, and breast cancers), Nectin-2 interacts with the inhibitory receptor PVRIG (CD112R) and the activating receptor CD226 (DNAM-1). The clinical landscape is shifting from monotherapy to rational combinations, notably dual targeting of the PVRIG and TIGIT pathways to overcome compensatory immune escape mechanisms.
