About 85% of cancer immunotherapies, such as cancer vaccines, checkpoint inhibitors, and CAR-T cells, target T cell biology due to their potent cytotoxic abilities. However, T cell therapies often cause significant toxicities. Natural killer (NK) cells present a safer alternative but lack the expansive power of T cells, limiting their therapeutic potential. Innate Pharma has developed an NK cell engager that may overcome this limitation, unlocking NK cell therapy for cancer treatment.
