ABSTRACT
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), combining the cytotoxicity of the drug payload with the specificity of monoclonal antibodies, are one of the rapidly evolving classes of anti-cancer agents. These agents have been successfully incorporated into the treatment paradigm of many malignancies, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The NSCLC is the most prevalent subtype of lung cancer, having a considerable burden on the cancer-related mortality and morbidity rates globally. Several ADC molecules are currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used in patients with NSCLC. However, the successful management of NSCLC patients using these agents was met with several challenges, including the development of resistance and toxicities. These shortcomings resulted in the exploration of novel therapeutic targets that can be targeted by the ADCs. This review aims to explore the recently identified ADC targets along with their oncologic mechanisms. The ADC molecules targeting these biomarkers are further discussed along with the evidence from clinical trials.
