Abstract
Abstract Targeted treatment using antibody therapeutics has proved successful for the development of meaningful treatments in diverse therapeutic areas. However, despite strong advances, many patients still fail to respond or become resistant to targeted treatment and novel innovative approaches to improve therapy are therefore required. Genetic and chemical engineering of antibodies, fueled by recent molecular insights, is providing important opportunities for the development of more potent antibody therapeutics. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), which combine the tumor-targeting capacity of monoclonal antibodies with the antitumor activity of cytotoxic agents, received much attention. In the road-map to developing an ADC, understanding target biology and selecting the most optimal antibody, linker and toxic payload represent critical parameters. This talk will provide an overview of this thought process in the context of the development of two ADCs currently in the clinic, tisotumab vedotin and enapotamab vedotin.
