It is not just about activating one T cell; it is about involving multiple immune cell types (CD8+, CD4+, NK cells, and dendritic cells) within the tumor microenvironment (TME) . Why "Global" Matters Older therapies often failed because they created a "cold" tumor or an incomplete response. A patient might have activated T cells in the blood, but those cells couldn't penetrate the tumor. Alternatively, they might have T cells at the tumor edge, but those cells were exhausted (high in PD-1, TIM-3, LAG-3). For years, the battle cry in cancer immunotherapy
