Mesothelin protein is an overexpressed molecule in epithelioid mesothelioma, epithelial ovarian cancer, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma, which is why it is considered a potential therapeutic target. WO2024082060 patent describes a trivalent bispecific antibody directed against MSLN/CD3/MSLN, and lung cancer treatment method. This antibody exhibits binding activity to MSLN-containing tumor cells, as well as inhibition of tumor growth rate in murine models of lung and ovarian cancer. The trispecific structure suggesting that this antibody is a potential candidate for clinical trials for the treatment of lung cancer associated with high levels of MSLN expression.
