There is an increasing understanding that monospecific antibodies are often insufficiently effective across all patients and/or indications. This has led to a growing interest in bispecific and multispecific modalities to target multiple signaling pathways and/or cell types. The goal of this round table will be to describe the current challenges in the discovery, generation, and characterization of bispecific and multispecific antibodies. We will furthermore discuss if the field is approaching any consensus on preferred formats and geometries, and how to arrive at the best molecule for a given application.
