RESUMO
The last few years have seen a rise in the identification and development of bio-therapeutics through the use of cutting-edge delivery methods or bio-formulations, which has created bio-analytical difficulties. Every year, new bio-pharmaceutical product innovations come out, but the analytical development of these products is challenging. Quantifying the products and components of conjugated molecular structures is essential for preclinical and clinical research in order to guide therapeutic development, given their intrinsic complexity. Furthermore, a significant amount of information is needed for the measurement of these unique modalities by LC-MS techniques. Numerous LC-MS based methods have been developed, including AEX-HPLC-MS, RP-IP-LCMS, HILIC-MS, LCHRMS, Microflow-LC-MS, ASMS, Hybrid LBA/LC-MS, and more. However, these methods continue to face problems, prompting the development of alternative approaches. Therefore, developing bio-molecules that are this complicated and, low in concentration requires a skilled LC-MS based approach and knowledgeable personnel. This review covers general novel modalities classifications, sample preparation techniques, current status and bio-analytical strategies for analyzing various novel modalities, including gene bio-therapeutics, oligonucleotides, antibody-drug conjugates, monoclonal antibodies and PROTACs. It also covers how these strategies have been used in the past and how they are being used now to address challenges in the development of LC-MS based methods, as well as improvement strategies, current advancements and recent developed methods. We additionally covered on the benefits and drawbacks of different LC-MS based techniques for the examination of bio-pharmaceutical products and the future perspectives.

Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) malignancies constitute a highly aggressive group of cancers that have a dismal prognosis. Patients not amenable to curative intent surgical resection are managed with systemic chemotherapy which, however, confers little survival benefit. Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) are tripartite compounds that merge the intricate selectivity and specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the cytodestructive potency of attached supertoxic payloads. In view of the unmet need for drugs that will enhance the survival rates of HPB cancer patients, the assessment of ADCs for treating HPB malignancies has become the focus of extensive clinical and preclinical investigation, showing encouraging preliminary results. In the current review, we offer a comprehensive overview of the growing body of evidence on ADC approaches tested for HPB malignancies. Starting from a concise discussion of the functional principles of ADCs, we summarize here all available data from preclinical and clinical studies evaluating ADCs in HPB cancers.

RESUMO
In recent years, antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) technology, which uses monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to specifically deliver effective cytotoxic payloads to tumor cells, has become a promising method of tumor targeted therapy. ADCs are a powerful class of biopharmaceuticals that link antibodies targeting specific antigens and small molecule drugs with potent cytotoxicity via a linker, thus enabling selective destruction of cancer cells while minimizing systemic toxicity. DXd is a topoisomerase I inhibitor that induces DNA damage leading to cell cycle arrest, making it an option for ADC payloads. The DXd-ADC technology, developed by Daiichi Sankyo, is a cutting-edge platform that produces a new generation of ADCs with improved therapeutic metrics and has shown significant therapeutic potential in various types of cancer. This review provides a comprehensive assessment of drugs developed with DXd-ADC technology, with a focus on mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics studies, preclinical data, and clinical outcomes for DS-8201a, U3-1402, DS-1062a, DS-7300a, DS-6157a, and DS-6000a. By integrating existing data, we aim to provide valuable insights into the current therapeutic status and future prospects of these novel agents.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Anti-HER2 therapies, including the HER2 antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) and trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), have led to improved survival outcomes in patients with HER2-overexpressing (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer. However, intrinsic or acquired resistance to anti-HER2-based therapies remains a clinical challenge in these patients, as there is no standard of care following disease progression. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms of resistance to T-DM1 and T-DXd in HER2+ BC patients and preclinical models and identify targets whose inhibition enhances the antitumor activity of T-DXd in HER2-directed ADC-resistant HER2+ breast cancer in vitro and in vivo. METHODS: Targeted DNA and whole transcriptome sequencing were performed in breast cancer patient tissue samples to investigate genetic aberrations that arose after anti-HER2 therapy. We generated T-DM1 and T-DXd-resistant HER2+ breast cancer cell lines. To elucidate their resistance mechanisms and to identify potential synergistic kinase targets for enhancing the efficacy of T-DXd, we used fluorescence in situ hybridization, droplet digital PCR, Western blotting, whole-genome sequencing, cDNA microarray, and synthetic lethal kinome RNA interference screening. In addition, cell viability, colony formation, and xenograft assays were used to determine the synergistic antitumor effect of T-DXd combinations. RESULTS: We found reduced HER2 expression in patients and amplified DNA repair-related genes in patients after anti-HER2 therapy. Reduced ERBB2 gene amplification in HER2-directed ADC-resistant HER2+ breast cancer cell lines was through DNA damage and epigenetic mechanisms. In HER2-directed ADC-resistant HER2+ breast cancer cell lines, our non-biased RNA interference screening identified the DNA repair pathway as a potential target within the canonical pathways to enhance the efficacy of T-DXd. We validated that the combination of T-DXd with ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related inhibitor, elimusertib, led to significant breast cancer cell death in vitro (P < 0.01) and in vivo (P < 0.01) compared to single agents. CONCLUSIONS: The DNA repair pathways contribute to HER2-directed ADC resistance. Our data justify exploring the combination treatment of T-DXd with DNA repair-targeting drugs to treat HER2-directed ADC-resistant HER2+ breast cancer in clinical trials.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), which combine the precise targeting capabilities of antibodies with the powerful cytotoxicity of small-molecule drugs, have evolved into a promising approach for tumor treatment. However, the traditional covalent coupling method requires the design of a specific linker tailored to the properties of the small-molecule drugs, which greatly limits the development of ADCs and the range of drugs that can be used. Herein, a novel type of antibody-calixarene drug conjugates (ACDCs) that function similarly to ADCs by delivering drugs to their targets using antibodies but without the requirement of covalent conjugation of the drugs with antibodies is presented. By replacement of conventional linkers with supramolecular linkers, the ACDCs can load various chemotherapeutic drugs through host-guest interactions. Furthermore, ACDCs are readily reduced upon reaching the hypoxic microenvironment, resulting in rapid release of the drugs. With this precise drug encapsulation and controlled release mechanism, ACDCs deliver drugs to tumor tissues effectively and achieve a significantly enhanced antitumor effect. Considering that the ACDCs can be easily prepared by combining antibody-calixarene conjugates derived from tumor-targeting antibodies with various small-molecule drugs, ACDCs may provide a promising platform technology to accelerate ADC development and thus improve the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy.

Osteosarcoma, a rare primary bone cancer, presents diverse molecular aberrations that underscore its complexity. Despite the persistent endeavors by researchers, the limited amelioration in the five-year survival rate indicates that current therapeutic strategies prove inadequate in addressing the clinical necessities. Advancements in molecular profiling have facilitated an enhanced comprehension of the biology of osteosarcoma, offering a promising outlook for treatment. There is an urgent need to develop innovative approaches to address the complex challenges of osteosarcoma, ultimately contributing to enhanced patient outcomes. This review explores the nexus between osteosarcoma and cancer predisposition syndromes, intricacies in its somatic genome, and clinically actionable alterations. This review covers treatment strategies, including surgery, chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Innovative treatment modalities targeting diverse pathways, including multi-target tyrosine kinases, cell cycle, PI3K/mTOR pathway, and DNA damage repair (DDR), offer promising interventions. This review also covers promising avenues, including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and immunotherapy strategies, such as cytokines, adoptive cellular therapy (ACT), ICIs, and cancer vaccines. This comprehensive exploration contributes to a holistic understanding, offering guidance for clinical applications to advance the management of osteosarcoma.
RESUMO
The rapid growth of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies demands greater accessibility to scalable methods of evaluating antigen binding. Homogenous TR-FRET is ideal for preliminary screening but has not been reported to assay these interactions due to their high-affinity and complex solution-phase kinetics. Here we report the development of a competition assay to rank-order the relative affinities of these drugs for a common antigen. The assay is compatible with automation, requires no modification of the analytes, and measures affinities as low as single-digit picomolar. We further demonstrate applications to inform the development of antibody-drug conjugates. The assay may aid discovery and manufacturing of therapeutic antibodies as a low-cost, high-throughput alternative to existing technologies.
RESUMO
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a new and emerging category of oncologic treatments that combine the target specificity of a monoclonal antibody with a cytotoxic payload. These drugs are associated with unique cutaneous toxicities that vary across agents. Currently, there are eleven ADCs with regulatory approval for solid and liquid tumors and over 80 ADCs currently in clinical development, it is critical for dermatologists to recognize and appropriately mitigate the cutaneous toxicities associated with these therapies. This clinical review will summarize the novel mechanisms and indications of approved ADCs, discuss dermatologic toxicities demonstrated in clinical trials and post-marketing studies, and impart recognition and management guidance when encountering these reactions to help maintain patients safely and comfortably on their medications.
RESUMO
Charge variants are one of the most important quality attributes for protein therapeutics, including antibody drug conjugates (ADCs). ADCs are conjugation products between monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and highly potent payloads. After attaching a payload, the charge profile of a mAb can be modified due to the change in net charge or surface charge. In this study, we present a unique challenge of charge assay development that arises from a desirable engineering of ADCs that incorporates the hydrolysis-prone succinimide-thioether conjugation chemistry. This engineered hydrolysis at conjugation sites is usually not complete during conjugation process and continuously progressing during mild stress. This hydrolysis also creates a carboxylic functional group, which manifests as acidic peaks in the ADC charge profiles. As a result, ion exchange chromatograms become sensitive measurements of this hydrolysis, which often masks the charge profile change due to other important post-translational modifications. In this study, two approaches were explored to address this unique challenge: to remove the hydrolysis heterogeneity by incubating ADCs under high pH conditions to drive complete hydrolysis; and to analyze charge variants at the subunit level after IdeS digestion. Acceptable charge profiles and quantitative integration results were successfully obtained by both approaches.
RESUMO
Multiple classes of therapies targeting claudin-18 isoform 2 (CLDN18.2) are under development for the treatment of advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma and other solid tumors. At the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, the final results of the phase 3 SPOTLIGHT trial were presented, demonstrating a significant survival benefit from the addition of the CLDN18.2-specific antibody zolbetuximab to chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas with ≥ 75% CLDN18.2 expression. Early-phase trial results presented at ASCO 2024 showed promising efficacy and safety of the afucosylated CLDN18.2-specific antibody FG-M108 in combination with chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of CLDN18.2-positive advanced gastroesophageal and pancreatic cancers. In addition, several early-phase trials presented at ASCO 2024 investigate other CLDN18.2-targeting approaches in CLDN18.2-positive refractory advanced solid tumors, including the CLDN18.2-targeting antibody-drug conjugates LM-302 and IBI343, the bispecific anti-CLDN18.2/CD3 antibody IBI38, and the chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy satricabtagene autoleucel. These novel approaches could potentially expand the benefit of CLDN18.2-targeting therapies to a broader range of tumor types and to tumors expressing lower levels of CLDN18.2.

Lung cancer is the most common malignant tumor and the second most common malignant tumor in terms of mortality in the world. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common pathological type of lung cancer. Currently, the first-line standard treatment for advanced NSCLC is immunotherapy and targeted therapy. Although these treatments prolong the survival of patients, acquired drug resistance is still inevitable. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a new type of anti-tumor drug made by coupling cytotoxic payloads to specific monoclonal antibodies via linkers. Compared with chemotherapy drugs, ADCs have the advantages of accurate recognition, local release, and high patient tolerance. In recent years, they have shown good clinical benefits in the treatment of NSCLC. This article provides an overview of the mechanism of action of ADCs, clinical studies progress in advanced NSCLC, and existing problems and challenges.â©.

The past year has offered significant advancements in the field of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), both in the early and advanced disease settings. The identification of guideline-recommended actionable targets has provided the foundation for developing multiple new therapeutic agents. There has been a focus on developing drugs designed to overcome acquired resistance, a limitation of tyrosine kinase inhibitor-based therapy in lung cancer. In addition, there is an emerging trend toward combination therapies for patients in the first-line setting with the goal of preventing or delaying resistance. Another promising area of development has been the use of antibody-drug conjugates, where there are the initial reports of central nervous system efficacy and activity in patients with genomic alterations. Over the past year, numerous publications and presentations have highlighted multiple therapeutic advances, offering new treatment options for patients with NSCLC. The focus of this review is to summarize the most impactful findings, emphasizing their significance in the evolving treatment landscape for NSCLC. Several landmark trials in lung cancer with practice-changing clinical implications have been presented and published in 2023. This article reviews a selection of these trials as they relate to early and advanced-stage oncogene-driven lung cancer. The ADAURA and ALINA trials, in which targeted therapy given in the adjuvant setting has demonstrated improved clinical outcomes, are reviewed. In the advanced-stage setting, recent trials in the context of specific oncogene drivers are reviewed, including EGFR, ALK, ROS1, RET, ERBB2 (HER2), BRAF, MET exon 14 skipping (METex14), and KRAS alterations. Also discussed are the results of several trials that have evaluated the use of combination therapies and resistance-mechanism agnostic treatment strategies. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: Targeted therapy plays an important role for patients with early and advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer carrying specific genetic alterations. New strategies that combine multiple therapies are now being studied in randomized clinical trials, with the goal of enhancing the effectiveness of targeted therapy for patients with advanced lung cancer.
RESUMO
In patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), oncogenic variants present in <5% of cases are considered rare, the predominant of which include human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) mutations, mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) alterations, c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1) rearrangements, rearrangement during transfection (RET) fusions, v-raf mouse sarcoma virus oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) mutations, and neurotrophic troponin receptor kinase (NTRK) fusions. Brain metastases (BMs) occur in approximately 10%-50% of patients with NSCLC harboring rare genetic variants. The recent advent of small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors and macromolecular antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) has conferred marked survival benefits to patients with NSCLC harboring rare driver alterations. Despite effective brain lesion control for most targeted agents and promising reports of intracranial remission associated with novel ADCs, BM continues to be a major therapeutic challenge. This review discusses the recent advances in the treatment of NSCLC with rare genetic variants and BM, with a particular focus on intracranial efficacy, and explores future perspectives on how best to treat these patients.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a revolutionary approach in the systemic treatment for both solid and hematologic tumors. Constituted by an antibody, a cytotoxic payload, and a linker, ADCs aim to selectively deliver cytotoxic agents to tumors while sparing normal tissues. Various ADCs have been tested and approved for multiple solid tumors so far, but if there is one that had a major impact on clinical practice, this is Trastuzumab-deruxtecan (T-DXd). Notably, T-DXd was approved for HER2-positive and HER2-low metastatic breast cancer (MBC), HER2-positive gastric cancer (GC), HER2-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and HER2 3+ solid tumors. Moreover, it received Breakthrough Therapy Designation for HER2-positive colorectal cancer (CRC). AREAS COVERED: We review preclinical and clinical data of T-DXd, focusing on early-phase ongoing trials exploring combination therapies to enhance the activity of T-DXd in HER2-expressing solid tumors. EXPERT OPINION: The clinical use of T-DXd still raises questions about selection of patients, treatment duration, prioritization over other approved ADCs, and management of resistance. Concerns regarding the toxicity of T-DXd remain, particularly with combinations involving potentially toxic drugs. Advancements in biomarker identification and combination therapies offer promising avenues to enhance efficacy and overcome resistance to T-DXd, ultimately improving outcomes for patients with cancer.

Platinum-based chemotherapy has been the cornerstone of first-line treatment for advanced urothelial carcinoma for decades, based on its proven efficacy and well-characterized safety profile. Although enfortumab vedotin (EV) plus pembrolizumab showed superior efficacy versus platinum-based chemotherapy in the EV-302 phase 3 trial, common and potentially cumulative toxicities associated with EV plus pembrolizumab may make this combination less suitable for some patients, such as those with pre-existing neuropathy, hyperglycemia, or hepatic impairment, or patients likely to have favorable outcomes with platinum-based chemotherapy. The availability of EV plus pembrolizumab in various countries may also be limited by financial considerations. Thus, platinum-based chemotherapy is likely to remain a valuable option for advanced urothelial carcinoma. Eligibility for cisplatin- or carboplatin-based regimens can be determined by assessing renal function, performance status, and specific comorbidities. In cisplatin-eligible and -ineligible patients without disease progression following platinum-based chemotherapy, avelumab first-line maintenance is standard of care based on findings from the JAVELIN Bladder 100 phase 3 trial, which showed that avelumab first-line maintenance plus best supportive care prolonged overall survival and progression-free survival compared with best supportive care alone across clinically relevant subgroups. Adverse events associated with avelumab were generally consistent with those observed with other immune checkpoint inhibitors, and long-term follow-up showed no new safety concerns with prolonged treatment. Efficacy benefits and safety profiles were similar in patients who received avelumab first-line maintenance after cisplatin- or carboplatin-based chemotherapy. The effectiveness and safety of avelumab first-line maintenance have been confirmed in several real-world studies. Overall, these data support the use of avelumab first-line maintenance for all platinum-treated patients without disease progression. In this podcast, we discuss the evolving role of platinum-based chemotherapy in this disease setting in the context of EV-302 trial results and describe practical considerations in patients receiving first-line cisplatin- or carboplatin-based chemotherapy followed by avelumab maintenance therapy.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent the forefront of the next generation of biopharmaceuticals. An ADC typically comprises an antibody covalently linked to a cytotoxic drug via a linker, resulting in a highly heterogeneous product. This study focuses on the analysis of a custom-made cysteine-linked ADC. Initially, we developed a LC-MS-based characterization workflow using brentuximab vedotin (Adcetris®), encompassing native intact MS, analysis of reduced chains and subunits under denaturing condition, peptide mapping and online strong cation exchange chromatography coupled with UV and mass spectrometry detection (SCX-UV-MS) applied for brentuximab vedotin first time reported. Subsequently, we applied this in-depth characterization workflow to a custom-made cysteine-linked ADC. The measured drug-to-antibody ratio(DAR) of this ADC is 6.9, further analysis shown that there is a small amount of unexpected over-conjugation. Over-conjugation sites were successfully identified using multiple UHPLC-MS based characterization techniques. Also, one competitively cysteine-conjugated impurity was observed in native intact MS results, by combing native intact MS, reduced chains, subunit analysis and peptide mapping results, the impurity conjugation sites were also identified. Since this molecule is at early development stage, this provides important information for conjugation process improvement and link-drug material purification. SCX-UV-MS approach can separate the custom-made cysteine-linked ADC carrying different payloads and reduce the complexity of the spectra. The integrated approach underscores the significance of combining the SCX-UV-MS online coupling technique with other characterization methods to elucidate the heterogeneity of cysteine-linked ADCs.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a crucial component of targeted therapies in gastric cancer, potentially altering traditional treatment paradigms. Many ADCs have entered rigorous clinical trials based on biological theories and preclinical experiments. Modality trials have also been conducted in combination with monoclonal antibody therapies, chemotherapies, immunotherapies, and other treatments to enhance the efficacy of drug coordination effects. However, ADCs exhibit limitations in treating gastric cancer, including resistance triggered by their structure or other factors. Ongoing intensive researches and preclinical experiments are yielding improvements, while enhancements in drug development processes and concomitant diagnostics during the therapeutic period actively boost ADC efficacy. The optimal treatment strategy for gastric cancer patients is continually evolving. This review summarizes the clinical progress of ADCs in treating gastric cancer, analyzes the mechanisms of ADC combination therapies, discusses resistance patterns, and offers a promising outlook for future applications in ADC drug development and companion diagnostics.

BACKGROUND: Trop-2 is closely related to the development and progression of a variety of tumours and poor prognosis. This study aimed to construct an iodine-124 (124I)-labelled antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) positron emission tomography (PET) probe which could noninvasively image Trop-2 in vivo, providing an important method for the diagnosis of tumours with high Trop-2 expression in clinical practice and monitoring their treatment. METHODS: In this study, a novel Trop-2-targeting molecular probe, 124I-IMMU-132, was constructed to better reveal the expression of Trop-2. The targeting and binding abilities of the probe to Trop-2-positive tumours were investigated in Capan-1/MDA-MB-468/Mcf-7 cells and their animal models. RESULTS: The constructed 124I-IMMU-132 probe maintained both reliable radiochemical characteristics and binding affinity (Kd = 2.200 nmol/L). The uptake of the probe by Trop-2-positive Capan-1/MDA-MB-468 cells increased in a time-dependent manner. The probe bound specifically to Capan-1/MDA-MB-468 tumours in vivo. The SUVmax Tumour/muscle ratio gradually increased with time, from 4.30 ± 0.55-10.78 ± 1.80 (p < 0.01) in the Capan-1 model and from 8.84 ± 0.95-32.20 ± 2.9 (p < 0.001) in the MDA-MB-468 model. The biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of 124I-IMMU-132 in a mouse model were consistent with the imaging results, and the dosimetry estimation in humans was acceptable. CONCLUSIONS: 124I-IMMU-132 PET is a promising imaging technique for delineating Trop-2-positive tumours. It has great potential in early diagnosis and targeted selection of patients that could benefit from its application.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) consist of monoclonal antibodies that target tumor cells and cytotoxic drugs linked through linkers. By leveraging antibodies' targeting properties, ADCs deliver cytotoxic drugs into tumor cells via endocytosis after identifying the tumor antigen. This precise method aims to kill tumor cells selectively while minimizing harm to normal cells, offering safe and effective therapeutic benefits. Recent years have seen significant progress in antitumor treatment with ADC development, providing patients with new and potent treatment options. With over 300 ADCs explored for various tumor indications and some already approved for clinical use, challenges such as resistance due to factors like antigen expression, ADC processing, and payload have emerged. This review aims to outline the history of ADC development, their structure, mechanism of action, recent composition advancements, target selection, completed and ongoing clinical trials, resistance mechanisms, and intervention strategies. Additionally, it will delve into the potential of ADCs with novel markers, linkers, payloads, and innovative action mechanisms to enhance cancer treatment options. The evolution of ADCs has also led to the emergence of combination therapy as a new therapeutic approach to improve drug efficacy.
