We are currently living in the era of precision medicine, and antibody‒drug conjugates (ADCs) represent promising advancements in targeted cancer therapy. While several ADCs have been investigated over the years, only three have gained FDA approval for breast cancer (BC): ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1/Kadcyla), trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd/Enhertu), and sacituzumab govitecan (SG/Trodelvy). This review focuses on the three approved ADCs for BC, reviewing the trials that led to their approval and detailing the ongoing trials testing their clinical efficacy and safety profiles. We examine ongoing trials targeting both metastatic and early-stage patients. Notably, we explore trials incorporating investigational ADCs into early management strategies, addressing the unique challenges of biomarker identification, target toxicity, and cost-effectiveness. By summarizing the current landscape of FDA-approved and investigational ADCs, this study highlights the evolving nature of BC treatment. Preliminary findings from ongoing trials suggest that early integration of ADCs can lead to significant improvements in disease-free survival, reinforcing their role in personalized medicine. As research advances, ADCs are likely to become a cornerstone of breast cancer treatment, providing new hope for better patient outcomes.
我们目前正生活在精准医学时代,抗体药物偶联物(ADC)是靶向癌症治疗领域颇具前景的进展。多年来虽已对多种ADC进行了研究,但仅有三种获得了美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)批准用于乳腺癌(BC)治疗:ado曲妥珠单抗偶联物(T-DM1/Kadcyla)、曲妥珠单抗德鲁替康(T-DXd/Enhertu)和戈沙妥珠单抗(SG/Trodelvy)。本综述聚焦于三种已获批用于BC治疗的ADC,回顾促成其获批的试验,并详述正在进行的测试其临床疗效和安全性的试验。我们研究了针对转移性和早期患者的正在进行的试验。值得注意的是,我们探讨了将研究性ADC纳入早期管理策略的试验,解决生物标志物识别、靶点毒性和成本效益等独特挑战。通过总结FDA批准的和研究性ADC的当前情况,本研究突出了BC治疗的不断演变的性质。正在进行的试验的初步结果表明,ADC的早期整合可显著改善无病生存期,强化其在个性化医疗中的作用。随着研究的推进,ADC可能会成为乳腺癌治疗的基石,为改善患者预后带来新希望。
