María Natalia Gandur Quiroga: After a successful ESMO 23, ADC continues to shine
María Natalia Gandur Quiroga shared a post on X/Twitter:
“After a successful ESMO 23, ADC continues to shine. A critical question for the future of ADC: Who will be their ideal partner?
ADCs are vital anticancer drugs for solid and hematological malignancies.
- Regulatory approvals obtained mainly as single agents, limited success in combinations.
- Ideal partners enhance effects without overlapping toxicities.
- Active forerunners: antiangiogenic compounds, HER2-targeting drugs, DNA-damage response agents, and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).
- Next-gen ADCs: tumor-specific targets, improved conjugation tech, novel linkers and payloads.
- Clinical trials: patient preselection crucial based on target expression, response relationship, and safety considerations.
- Trial designs: robust hypotheses for combinations, Phase 1 combinatorial evaluations, dose escalation with adaptive strategies.
- Challenges: nonspecific target expression, overlapping toxicities, lack of efficacy in distinct tumor clones, resistance mechanisms.
- Solutions: optimizing ADC properties, patient selection based on predictive biomarkers, preclinical and window-of-opportunity clinical testing for rational combinations.”
