Abstract
- Introduction: Antibody‐drug conjugates (ADCs) are a family of therapeutic agents that have demonstrated clinical activity in several indications. Material and methods: In this article, we performed a deep analysis of their clinical landscape matched with public genomic human datasets from tumour antigen targets (TATs), to identify empty areas for clinical development. Results: We observed that TATs used in haematological malignancies were more specific than the ones developed in solid cancers. Those included CD19, CD22, CD30, CD33 and CD79b. In solid tumours, we identified TATs, with approved ADCs, widely expressed in non‐explored niche indications like Enfortumab vedotin (anti‐Nectin4) in lung or cervical cancer; Tisotumab vedotin (anti‐TF) in glioblastoma or pancreatic cancer; and Sacituzumab govitecan (anti‐TROP2) in pancreatic, gastric, thyroid or endometrial cancer, among others. Similarly, niche indications for ADCs in clinical development included targets for CD71, PSMA, PTK7 or CD74, in tumours like breast, lung, stomach or colon. Some of these TATs were essential for the survival of tumour cells like CD71, PSMA and PTK7. Conclusions: In summary, our study opens the door for further evaluation of ADCs in several indications not explored before. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
