B7 homolog 4 (B7-H4) is a transmembrane protein found on immune cells and is frequently overexpressed in various solid tumors, making it a promising target for cancer therapy. B7-H4-directed agents, particularly antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) like puxitatug samrotecan (AZD8205), felmetatug vedotin (SGN-B7H4V), and GSK5733584, have demonstrated early clinical activity with promising response rates in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Combination strategies, such as ADCs with anti-PD-1 or PARP inhibitor therapies, have also shown enhanced tumor regression in preclinical models and are the subject of several ongoing clinical trials. This review highlights the current landscape of B7-H4-targeted agents, their progress in clinical trials, and the potential for combination approaches to improve outcomes in B7-H4-expressing cancers.
B7 同源物 4(B7-H4)是一种存在于免疫细胞上的跨膜蛋白,在多种实体瘤中经常过度表达,这使其成为癌症治疗的一个有前景的靶点。针对 B7-H4 的药物,特别是像普西他图格·萨姆罗特坎(AZD8205)、费尔梅他图格·维朵汀(SGN-B7H4V)和 GSK5733584 这样的抗体药物偶联物(ADC),在三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)中已显示出早期临床活性,缓解率令人鼓舞。联合策略,如 ADC 与抗 PD-1 或 PARP 抑制剂疗法联合,在临床前模型中也显示出增强的肿瘤消退效果,并且是几项正在进行的临床试验的主题。本综述重点介绍了当前针对 B7-H4 的药物概况、它们在临床试验中的进展,以及联合方法在改善表达 B7-H4 的癌症患者预后方面的潜力。
