How Close Are We to a Cure? ADCs in Sarcoma Treatment: Insights from Herbert Loong

Dr. Loong provides a comprehensive overview of ADC technology, explaining how these targeted therapies work, the importance of antibody selection, linker design, payload delivery, and the impact of ADCs on the tumor microenvironment. He discusses why ADCs are becoming one of the most exciting areas of oncology drug development and how they are helping move sarcoma treatment toward a more precise and personalized approach.

The presentation highlights key clinical developments, including promising data from B7-H3-targeted ADCs such as HS20093, results from the ARTEMIS-2 clinical trial in osteosarcoma and soft tissue sarcoma, and emerging evidence supporting new therapeutic targets like AXL. Dr. Loong also reviews innovative strategies designed to improve therapeutic efficacy and reduce toxicity, including conditionally activated biologics (CABs) and next-generation ADC platforms.
