Immunocytokines in cancer: a safety perspective
Immunocytokines (ICs) are engineered biologics comprising a fusion of cytokines to antibodies, designed to deliver targeted cytokines to diseased tissues and mitigate the severe safety challenges associated with systemic cytokine therapy.

The present and future of immunocytokines for cancer treatment
AbstractMonoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy has successfully been introduced as treatment of several lymphomas and leukemias. However, solid tumors reduce the efficacy of mAb therapy because of an immune-suppressive tumor micro-environment (TME), which hampers activation of effector immune cells.

Anti-CD70 immunocytokines for exploitation of interferon-γ-induced RIP1-dependent necrosis in renal cell carcinoma. [PDF]
Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is an incurable disease in clear need of new therapeutic interventions. In early-phase clinical trials, the cytokine IFN-γ showed promise as a biotherapeutic for advanced RCC, but subsequent trials were less ...

Immunocytokines in cancer treatment: A systematic review [PDF]
Immunocytokines are an emerging class of antibody-cytokine fusion proteins combining the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the potent immunostimulatory effects of cytokines, potentially enhancing the anti-tumor immune response while reducing systemic toxicity.We conducted a systematic review following the PRISMA guidelines.

Cotargeting TREM2 and IL2 pathways triggers multipronged anticancer immunity
Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) has emerged as a key immunosuppressive target on tumour‐associated macrophages (TAMs), where it coordinates protumorigenic and anti‐inflammatory functions within the tumour microenvironment (TME ...

Efficacy of Anti-Cancer Immune Responses Elicited Using Tumor-Targeted IL-2 Cytokine and Its Derivatives in Combined Preclinical Therapies [PDF]
Effective cancer therapies must address the tumor microenvironment (TME), a complex network of tumor cells and stromal components, including endothelial, immune, and mesenchymal cells. Durable outcomes require targeting both tumor cells and the TME while

CLEC12A-directed immunocytokine with target cell–restricted IL-15 activity for treatment of acute myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Despite recent advancements, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains a therapeutic challenge. While monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) leveraging natural killer (NK) cells through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity show great potential, none have gained ...

Beyond checkpoint inhibition – Immunotherapeutical strategies in combination with radiation
The revival of cancer immunotherapy has taken place with the clinical success of immune checkpoint inhibition. However, the spectrum of immunotherapeutic approaches is much broader encompassing T cell engaging strategies, tumour-specific vaccination ...

Immunocytokines with activity-on-demand by combination with small molecule inhibitors
Dose-limiting systemic toxicity constitutes a major impediment to the application of cytokines in cancer therapy. To enhance the therapeutic index, tumor-directed antibody-cytokine fusion proteins, i.e., immunocytokines, are developed for targeting ...
