Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody–drug conjugate comprising trastuzumab and DM1, a microtubule polymerization inhibitor, covalently bound via stable thioether linker. To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of T-DM1 in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer, data from four studies (TDM3569g, TDM4258g, TDM4374g, TDM4688g) single-agent administered at 3.6 mg/kg every 3 weeks (q3w) were assessed aggregate. Multiple...
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are monoclonal antibodies with covalently bound cytotoxic drugs. They designed to target tumor antigens selectively and offer the hope of cancer treatment without debilitating side-effects conventional therapies. The concept ADCs is not new; however, development these therapeutics challenging only recently promising clinical data emerging. These challenges include ADC bioanalysis, such as quantifying in serum/plasma for PK studies strategies assessing...
Abstract Approved antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for HER2-positive breast cancer include trastuzumab emtansine and deruxtecan. To develop a differentiated HER2 ADC, we chose an antibody that does not compete with or pertuzumab binding, conjugated to reduced potency PBD (pyrrolobenzodiazepine) dimer payload. PBDs are potent cytotoxic agents alkylate cross-link DNA. In our study, the is modified alkylate, but This DHES0815A, demonstrates in vivo efficacy models of HER2-low cancers...

The six-transmembrane epithelial antigen...
Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is the first antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) approved for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer. The therapeutic premise of ADCs based on hypothesis that targeted delivery potent cytotoxic drugs to tumors will provide better tolerability and efficacy compared non-targeted delivery, where poor can limit efficacious doses. Here, we present results from preclinical studies characterizing toxicity profile...
Abstract Purpose: Trastuzumab-emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) comprising the cytotoxic agent DM1 conjugated to trastuzumab with a stable linker. Thrombocytopenia was dose-limiting toxicity in phase I study, and grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia occurred up 13% of patients receiving T-DM1 III studies. We investigated mechanism T-DM1–induced thrombocytopenia. Experimental Design: The effect on platelet function measured by aggregometry, flow cytometry detect markers activation....

CD22 represents a promising target for antibody-drug conjugate therapy in the context of B cell malignancies since it rapidly internalizes, importing specifically bound antibodies with it. To determine pharmacokinetic parameters anti-CD22-MCC-DM1 and MC-MMAF conjugates, various approaches to quantifying total conjugated antibody were investigated. Although assay formats gave similar results both mouse profile appeared significantly different depending on format. Since these differences...
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) combine the characteristics of large-molecule biologics and small-molecule drugs are heterogeneous mixtures that can biotransform in vivo, resulting additional complexity. ADC bioanalytical strategies require novel analytical methods, as well existing large- methods. Because ADCs late-stage clinical development relatively new, regulatory guidelines standard industry best practices for developing PK assays still being established.A assay strategy was developed...
