Abstract

Purpose of review The purpose of this review is to present updates in the field of bispecific antibodies focusing on those agents that have been recently approved for multiple myeloma, follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Recent findings Teclistamab, the β-cell maturation antigen -targeted bispecific antibody has shown efficacy and tolerability in the fourth line setting for multiple myeloma. Mosunetuzumab, the CD20-targeted bispecific antibody has shown excellent response rates and durability in third line and beyond follicular lymphoma. Epcoritamab and glofitamab have both shown excellent response rates in heavily pretreated patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma including those with prior chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy. The toxicity is significant but manageable for both agents. Epcoritamab is approved by the FDA in the United States, while glofitamab is approved for use in Canada for patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma refractory to 2 or more prior lines of therapy. Summary Bispecific antibodies represent a novel therapeutic resource that is poised to dramatically change the treatment landscape of many hematologic malignancies, but so far, initial successes include multiple myeloma, follicular lymphoma, and diffuse large B cell lymphoma, where several agents have been recently approved.
