The present immune therapy was focused on the checkpoint blockade or Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Immunotherapy (CART) transfer, but how to activate innate system antitumor still lags out. Neutrophils are most abundant circulating leukocytes in human, and heterogeneous neutrophils have been increasingly recognized as important players tumor progression. They play double “edge-sward” by either supporting suppressing growth, including driving angiogenesis, extracellular matrix remodeling promote participating adaptive immunity, killing cells directly inhibit growth. complex role of various tumors depends microenvironment (TME) they located, emerging evidence has suggested that may determine success immunotherapy context blockade, training, drug-loaded microvesicles therapy, which makes them become an exciting target for immunotherapy, with challenges. Here, we summarize latest insights immunity discuss advances neutrophil-targeted strategies.

Cytokines have gained attention in oncology recent years, especially the context of immunotherapy. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) revolutionized treatment cancer, there are still some challenges to be faced, such as lack predictive biomarkers well emergence resistance and their severe side effects. In this Viewpoint, we discuss potential cytokines, soluble mediators cancer-associated inflammation, Indeed, both activation inhibition cytokines been suggested strategies overcome immunotherapy resistance. addition, serum levels certain can predict response immunotherapy, cytokine could also contribute prevent effects induced by ICIs. Thus, although further research is required, data support that cytokine-based therapies an attractive therapeutic strategy for cancer patients treated with near future.

Antibody-based immune-stimulating drugs (ABIs) represent a transformative frontier in cancer immunotherapy, designed to reshape the tumor microenvironment and overcome immune suppression. This study highlighted recent advances ABIs, including antibody conjugates (ISACs), bispecific antibodies (BsAbs), checkpoint blockade enhancers, with focus on their mechanisms of action, clinical advancements, challenges. Preclinical findings revealed that ISACs effectively boost overall anti-cancer immunity by reprogramming tumor-associated macrophages, enhancing T cell activation, engaging other pathways. Similarly, BsAbs redirect cells tumors, achieving significant regression. Additionally, artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing development ABIs optimizing drug design, identifying novel targets, accelerating preclinical validation, enabling personalized therapeutic strategies. Despite these challenges remain, resistance off-target effects. Future research should prioritize next-generation multifunctional antibodies, AI-driven innovations, combination therapies enhance efficacy expand applications. Connecting gaps could unlock full potential upgrading treatment improving outcomes for patients refractory or resistant tumors.

Antibody-drug conjugates have emerged as a promising cancer treatment, combining targeted delivery of cytotoxic agents with the specificity monoclonal antibodies. Despite their potential, ADCs face limitations such resistance and off-target effects. To enhance efficacy, are increasingly being combined other therapeutic strategies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, chemotherapy, small-molecule anti-angiogenic agents, CAR-T cell therapies. These combination therapies aim to overcome mechanisms, improve tumor targeting, boost responses. Clinical studies shown that combinations can significantly response rates progression-free survival across various cancers. This review explores clinical key studies, challenges, future perspectives in therapy.

Background: A previous phase I/II study demonstrated potent and long-term immune responses in men with prostate cancer following vaccination a 20mer synthetic peptide (RV001) derived from the Ras homolog gene family member C protein (RhoC). Moreover, fraction of patients experienced prostate-specific antigen (PSA) responses, which prompted initiation II double-blind randomized trial (NCT04114825). The primary endpoint was to whether could postpone PSA progression. Furthermore, included an evaluation vaccination-induced in-depth vitro studies RhoC-specific CD4+ T cell responses. Methods: Men non-metastatic biochemical recurrence after either radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy were eligible for study. Participants 1:1 subcutaneous injections 0.1 mg/mL RV001 emulsified Montanide ISA 51, placebo. Vaccinations administered every 2 weeks first six times, then five times 4 total treatment time 30 weeks. Blood samples collected subset (n = 38) over course vaccination, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated immunological assessment vaccine-induced Experiments using PBMCs healthy donor patient performed phenotype function RV001-specific cells. Results: 192 entered There no difference doubling, 7.5 versus 9.3 months, initiating further therapies, 11.2 17.6 months control groups, respectively. At follow-up, 12.9% arm had developed metastasis compared 12% placebo arm. No serious treatment-related side effects observed, adverse events did not differ between groups. Immunological examinations that induced potent, long-lasting capable proliferation cytokine production. shown mediate cytotoxicity against RhoC-expressing line HLA-class II-dependent manner. Conclusions: active RV001V induction functionally capable, anti RhoC-CD4+ However, there benefit progression, second-line therapies.

Clinical trial data were sourced from ClinicalTrials.gov, Trialtrove, other publicly available registries. Eligible studies peer-reviewed research articles, systematic reviews, trials focusing on neoantigen vaccine development, bioinformatic strategies, immunotherapy. Tumor heterogeneity clonal evolution significantly impact efficacy, necessitating multi-epitope targeting adaptive design. Current algorithms suffer high false-positive false-negative rates, requiring further integration with multi-omics machine learning enhance accuracy. Manufacturing remains complex, time-intensive, costly, advancements standardization automation. Combination therapies, such as checkpoint inhibitors adoptive cell counteract the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, improving treatment outcomes. hold great potential for personalized therapy but require bioinformatics, scalability, immunomodulatory strategies efficacy.
