Unleashing the Potential: The Evolving Landscape of Antibody-drug conjugates in Cancer Treatment

Image
Antibody-drug conjugates have emerged as a promising class of therapeutics in the field of oncology. By combining the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the cytotoxic potency of chemotherapeutic drugs, Antibody-drug conjugates offer a targeted approach to cancer treatment. In this blog, we will explore the current and future landscape of Antibody-drug conjugates in oncology, including tumor markers and antibodies used in Antibody-drug conjugates, the existing marketed Antibody-drug conjugates, novel and emerging Antibody-drug conjugates in the pipeline, and the promising future of this transformative therapy. Tumor Markers and Antibodies in Antibody-drug conjugates: Antibody-drug conjugates utilize tumor-specific antigens as targets for delivering potent cytotoxic payloads directly to cancer cells. Commonly targeted tumor markers include HER2, CD30, and Trop-2, among others. Monoclonal antibodies are designed to recognize these markers and bind to them with high specificity. Th
