Antibody-drug conjugates

Antibodies linked to chemotherapy, such as trastuzumab deruxtecan.

Key point

Recent positive phase III trial data have further incorporated ADCs into standard of care in several solid tumours, while predictive biomarker development remains essential.

How these numbers are counted

PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:

"antibody-drug conjugate*"[tiab] OR "trastuzumab deruxtecan"[tiab] OR "sacituzumab govitecan"[tiab] OR "datopotamab deruxtecan"[tiab]

Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
