Aakash Desai: Biomarker Landscape of ADCs and Bispecifics in lung cancer Clinical Trials
Are we fully leveraging a biomarker-driven approach for these groundbreaking agents?

Our findings:
69.6% of ongoing clinical trials are centered on bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) while 30.4% on antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)
Yet, only 47.8% employ biomarker testing like NGS & IHC

Key targets: EGFR x c-MET and PD-1 x CTLA-4 for bsAbs
TROP2 and HER2 for ADCs with most common payloads include topoisomerase inhibitors and monomethyl auristatin E.

Looking ahead:
It’s imperative that future trials integrate prospective biomarker strategies to propel personalized therapies forward.”
