Global Clinical Landscape & Future Outlook

The race for KIR2DS2 therapeutics is intensifying, with major players shifting focus from traditional mAbs to multi-specific NK cell engagers (NKCEs). As first-generation therapies reach the clinic, the next wave of R&D is targeting selective activation of NK cells while avoiding off-target inhibition via closely related inhibitory KIRs.
