Paolo Tarantino, 2025 Yvonne’s “Top Voice” Award Winner, Clinical Research Fellow at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Visiting Professor at McGill University, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent paper he co-authored with colleagues published in Cancer Treatment Reviews:
“Do ADCs work when used in sequence?
We systematically reviewed 23 studies (including nearly 3000 patients), finding that: it depends!
Relevant cross-resistance is seen if two TOPO1 ADCs are sequenced (irrespective of target). PFS declined from 5-8 months with ADC1 to only 2-3 months with ADC2.
Less cross-resistance is seen if switching payload class (even if the target is the same). Key example: T-DXd and T-DM1 (each works quite well after the other).
