So far, more than 10 types of antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and have contributed to the medical field. Interestingly, they are all manufactured using chemical conjugation techniques. This indicates that chemical conjugation is the primary method for ADC manufacturing. Compared to other conjugation techniques such … Read more
Compiled by: Oncology Information Source: Oncology Information Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are formed by linking monoclonal antibodies that target specific antigens with cytotoxic small molecule drugs, combining the targeting specificity of antibody drugs with the powerful lethality of cytotoxins. The aim is to overcome the issues of weak cytotoxicity of monoclonal antibodies and the high toxicity … Read more
After the era of chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, the ADC (antibody-drug conjugate) drugs, which couple cytotoxic drugs with targeted monoclonal antibodies, have opened the era of the fourth ladder of tumor drug therapy with excellent results. They have now become a new class of drugs in tumor treatment that cannot be ignored both domestically … Read more
What is Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging? Various magnetic resonance imaging techniques based primarily on conventional T1WI and T2WI mainly display the morphological structures of human organs or tissues and their signal intensity changes, collectively referred to as conventional MRI examinations or conventional MR imaging sequences. With the development of MRI system hardware and software, various … Read more
Since the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, I have been looking at ADCs, and I have discussed with many experts in the field, leading to many misunderstandings, and my understanding has been continuously refreshed. Many articles about ADCs exist, but many of them contain misunderstandings. Now, there are more successful and failed … Read more
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have become a popular avenue for cancer treatment in recent years. They typically consist of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) covalently linked to cytotoxic drugs (payloads) through chemically synthesized linkers. ADCs combine the advantages of high specificity targeting and effective killing action, achieving precise and efficient elimination of cancer cells. Figure 1. Structure and … Read more
Since the first use of cytotoxic chemicals to treat cancer, oncologists have been searching for ways to improve efficacy without significantly increasing overall toxicity to patients. One of the methods attempted to enhance the killing effect on tumor cells is the use of cytotoxic agents with potency at picomolar or lower levels (such as microtubule … Read more
Introduction: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) consist of antibodies, linkers, and small molecule cytotoxic drugs, combining high specificity and high cytotoxicity advantages. However, their structural diversity and complexity, along with the low content of released small molecule toxins in the circulatory system, pose significant challenges for pharmacokinetic studies. This article will discuss the mechanisms, design, safety features, … Read more
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) are a class of targeted cancer therapies that combine the high specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the potent activity of small molecule cytotoxic drugs to enhance tumor targeting and reduce side effects. Compared to traditional antibodies or antibody fragments, ADCs theoretically have higher efficacy due to their ability to release highly active … Read more
ADC In the era following chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, ADC drugs, which combine cytotoxic drugs with targeted monoclonal antibodies, have opened a new era of fourth-line cancer treatment with exceptional results. They have become a significant class of new drugs in cancer treatment both domestically and internationally. So, what are ADC drugs (antibody-drug conjugates)? … Read more
