The Table provides a comprehensive overview of the main clinical trials evaluating bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) in cervical and ECs. Only studies with available clinical data in these tumor types are reported, with a focus on target specificity, study phase, treatment combinations, and preliminary efficacy or safety outcomes, when available. *: Some trials reported treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), other treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), and immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Only grades ≥ 3 observed in more than 5% of patients are included in this Table; **: adverse events of special interest (AESIs), including cytokine release syndrome (CRS), infusion-related reaction (IRR), and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), are listed in the Table regardless of grade and even if occurring in less than 5% of patients. G: grade; TAA: tumor-associated antigen; HER2: human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; ECD2: extracellular domain 2; ECs: endometrial cancers; ORR: objective response rate; mPFS: median progression-free survival; mths: months; CI: confidence interval; OS: overall survival; mOS: median OS; NR: not reported; ICI: immune checkpoint inhibitor; cht: chemotherapy; bev: bevacizumab; PD-1: programmed cell death protein 1; CTLA-4: cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4; R/M: recurrent/metastatic; CC: cervical cancer; pts: patients; HR: hazard ratio; NA: not available; VEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor; R: recurrent; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; LAG-3: lymphocyte activation gene 3; AST: aspartate aminotransferase.
