Follow on Google News | Global ADC Drug Overview-BOC SciencesBy: BOC Sciences 1. Global ADC listing and research status As of April 2, 2021, there are 432 ADC drugs under development worldwide. Most of them are in the pre-clinical stage, and 108 products are in the clinical stage. Since the first ADC product Mylotarg (gemtuzumab ozogamicin) was launched in 2000, a total of 11 ADC products have been approved for launch worldwide. 2. Treatment field and target In the field of treatment, the main research and development direction of ADC drugs is concentrated in the field of anti-tumor. There are few competitors in the rest of the treatment field, but there are many potential products. ABBV-3373, which is being developed by AbbVie, is an ADC drug composed of adalimumab and glucocorticoid receptor modulator (GRM) for the potential treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). According to its Phase III experimental data released in June 2020, compared with adalimumab, ABBV-3373 could bring a more significant improvement in the DAS28 CRP score in the 12th week, and its safety is similar to the known safety of adalimumab. In terms of target selection, it is similar to the drugs already on the market. At present, the target distribution of products under research in the world is relatively scattered, and only Her2, EGFR, CD-19, TROP-2 and other targets competing fiercely. 3. Photoimmune ADC In terms of effector molecules, ADC drugs currently on the market and under development mostly choose Auristatins (such as MMAE (https://adc.bocsci.com/ Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) is a molecularly targeted light therapy for cancer. The therapy is mainly composed of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) directed against the antigen expressed on the surface of cancer cells and a near-infrared light-absorbing dye (IR700) that has cell-killing properties. Traditional immunotherapies, such as immune-activating cytokine therapy, checkpoint inhibition, engineered T-cells, etc., do not directly destroy cancer cells, but completely depend on activating the immune system. NIR-PIT can selectively destroy cancer cells while activating the body's immune response. End
