  "term": "ordastobart",
  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "An agonistic, recombinant, humanized, hexavalent immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody targeting the co-stimulatory receptor OX40 (CD134; tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 4; TNFRSF4), with potential immunostimulatory and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, ordastobart selectively binds to six OX40 receptors per molecule, thereby clustering and activating OX40. This induces the proliferation of memory and effector T-lymphocytes and results in a T-cell-mediated immune response against tumor cells, which leads to tumor cell lysis. OX40, a cell surface glycoprotein and member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF), is expressed on T lymphocytes and provides a co-stimulatory signal that promotes both the proliferation and survival of activated T cells. Utilizing a hexavalent OX40 antibody may improve receptor clustering and downstream signaling over tetravalent or bivalent OX40 antibodies.",
