Sacituzumab govitecan expands its therapeutic spectrum among breast cancer subtypes

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel, highly potent drugs composed of a small molecule of an anticancer drug (payload) attached to humanized antibody recognizing an epitope on the surface of cancer cells.

description Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel, highly potent drugs composed of a small molecule of an anticancer drug (payload) attached to humanized antibody recognizing an epitope on the surface of cancer cells. ADCs are rapidly expanding in the oncology field. By 2022, >180 ADC-based clinical trials have been conducted [1]. Most of these clinical trials are in phases I or II [1]. Several ADCs have been approved and used for the treatment of various malignancies (e.g., brentuximab vedotin (BV) for the treatment of CD30+ lymphomas, trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) for advanced/metastatic/or early-stage high-risk HER2-positive breast cancer with residual disease after neoadjuvant treatment) [2].
