Cluster of differentiation 40 (CD40) mediates many immune activities. Preclinical studies have shown that activation of CD40 can evoke massive antineoplastic effects in several tumour models in vivo, providing a rationale for using CD40 agonists in cancer immunotherapy. To date, several potential agonistic antibodies that target CD40 have been investigated in clinical trials. Early clinical trials have shown that the adverse events associated with agonists of CD40 thus far have been largely transient and clinically controllable, including storms of cytokine release, hepatotoxicity and thromboembolic events. An antitumour effect of targeting CD40 for monotherapy or combination therapy has been observed in some tumours. However, these antitumour effects have been moderate. The present review aimed to provide updated details of the clinical results of these agonists, and offer information to further investigate the strategies of combining CD40 activation with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy and immunomodulators. Furthermore, biomarkers should be identified for monitoring and predicting responses and informing resistance mechanisms.
