Bridging Bench & Bedside for PD-1 x VEGF & PD-L1 x VEGF Bispecifics: Translational Strategy, Format Optimization & Combination Approaches
As PD-1 x VEGF and PD-L1 x VEGF bispecifics progress through preclinical and early clinical pipelines, developers are
challenged to refine therapeutic design, clarify mechanisms of synergy, and anticipate translational hurdles. This roundtable will bring together expert voices and engaged attendees to explore what it will take to successfully advance the bispecific and other bispecifics using similar logic to clinical impact.
- How can target biology guide decisions on bispecific format, affinity tuning, and spatial delivery?
- What insights and programs help us define meaningful biomarkers and pharmacodynamic readouts?
- How can we rationally combine these bispecifics with other immunotherapies or modalities like ADCs and cytokines?
- What are the biggest translational blind spots (e.g., preclinical models) holding back predictive development?
- How do we de-risk safety in multitargeting strategies, especially when soluble and membrane-bound targets are involved?
