Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a promising class of cancer biopharmaceuticals that exploit the specificity of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) to selectively deliver highly cytotoxic small molecules to targeted cancer cells, leading to an enhanced therapeutic index through increased antitumor activity and decreased off-target toxicity. ADCs hold great promise for the treatment of patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer after the approval and tremendous success of trastuzumab emtansine and trastuzumab deruxtecan, representing a turning point in both HER2-positive breast cancer treatment and ADC technology. Additionally and importantly, a total of 29 ADC candidates are now being investigated in different stages of clinical development for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. The purpose of this review is to provide an insight into the ADC field in cancer treatment and present a comprehensive overview of ADCs approved or under clinical investigation for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer.
抗体药物偶联物(ADCs)是一类很有前途的癌症生物制药,利用单克隆抗体(mAb)的特异性,将高细胞毒性的小分子选择性递送到靶向癌细胞,从而通过增加抗肿瘤活性和降低脱靶毒性来提高治疗指数。在曲妥珠单抗-美坦新和曲妥珠单抗-德曲妥珠单抗获得批准并取得巨大成功后,ADCs 为治疗人表皮生长因子受体 2(HER2)阳性乳腺癌的患者带来了巨大的希望,这代表着 HER2 阳性乳腺癌治疗和 ADC 技术的一个转折点。此外,非常重要的是,目前共有 29 种 ADC 候选药物正在不同的临床开发阶段,用于治疗 HER2 阳性乳腺癌。本综述的目的是深入了解癌症治疗中的 ADC 领域,并全面概述已批准或正在临床研究中用于治疗 HER2 阳性乳腺癌的 ADC。
