MST-0312 is a FAP-targeted LTBR agonist bispecific antibody designed to induce the formation of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) and high endothelial venules (HEV) in solid tumors. A substantial body of clinical evidence demonstrates that the presence of TLS and HEV in tumors is associated with improved patient survival and enhanced responses to therapy, reflecting their role in facilitating lymphocyte access to the tumor and local education. LTBR activation is the key pathway driving TLS/HEV formation.

MST‑0312 is anticipated to enter clinic mid‑2026 with the initiation of the Phase 1 STARLYS trial.
