AFM13: a first-in-class tetravalent bispecific anti-CD30/CD16A antibody for NK cell-mediated immunotherapy

Monoclonal antibodies against CD20 molecule have been leading the revolution of lymphoma treatment. In addition to monoclonal antibodies against CD20 and CD30, novel agents of immunotherapeutics in clinical development are being developed and are rapidly migrating to clinical application. One area of active development is NK cell activators, such as AFM13. This review will highlight the latest development of AFM13 as the first-in-class tetravalent bispecific anti-CD30/CD16A antibody for NK cell-mediated immunotherapy.
