ABSTRACT

The antibody drug conjugate platform and why it has not reached the potential of this technology.

Antibody drug conjugates are complex delivery systems for selective delivery of cytotoxic payloads. Yet despite the potential for this therapeutic platform and hundreds of clinical studies only three ADCs have been approved by regulatory agencies and only two are currently marketed. The difficulties for this class of compounds are both categorized and explored in this review, and potential solutions identified.
