An open‐label, nonrandomized, phase Ib feasibility study of cusatuzumab in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Abstract CD70 is expressed in up to 80% of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cases. Cusatuzumab is a humanized anti‐CD70 monoclonal antibody, with dual action mechanisms: induction of cytotoxicity against CD70+ tumor cells and reduction in CD70‐CD27 signaling mediated immune evasion. The aim of this st...
