Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a promising drug platform designed to enhance the therapeutic index and minimize the toxicity of anticancer agents. ADCs have experienced substantial progress and technological growth over the past decades; however, several challenges to patient selection and treatment remain. Methods to optimally capture all patients who may benefit from a particular ADC are still largely unknown. Although target antigen expression remains a biomarker for patient selection, the impact of intratumor heterogeneity on antigen expression, as well as the dynamic changes in expression with treatment and disease progression, are important considerations in patient selection. Better understanding of these factors, as well as minimum levels of target antigen expression required to achieve therapeutic efficacy, will enable further optimization of selection strategies. Other important considerations include understanding mechanisms of primary and acquired resistance to ADCs. Ongoing efforts in the design of its constituent parts to possess the intrinsic ability to overcome these mechanisms, including use of the “bystander effect” to enhance efficacy in heterogeneous or low target antigen-expressing tumors, as well as modulation of the chemical and immunophenotypic properties of antibodies and linker molecules to improve payload sensitivity and therapeutic efficacy, are under way. These strategies may also lead to improved safety profiles. Similarly, combination strategies using ADCs with other cytotoxic or immunomodulatory agents are also under development. Great strides have been made in ADC technology. With further refinements, this therapeutic modality has the potential to make an important clinical impact on a wider range of tumor types.

Die Therapielandschaft des metastasierten Urothelkarzinoms hat sich seit der Zulassung der ersten Immun-Checkpoint-Inhibitoren verändert. Die neuen Therapien sind deutlich effektiver, allerdings erreichen die Responseraten der neuen Therapien nur bis zu etwa 30 %, beklagte Prof. Matthew Milowsky, Chapel Hill/USA, auf einer Oral Abstract Session auf dem ASCO-GU. In San Francisco gaben erste Vorträge und Poster bereits einen Einblick, wovon diejenigen Patienten profitieren könnten, die auf die etablierten Chemotherapien und die neuen Immuntherapien nicht ansprechen. Manche Onkologen sprechen bereits von der „Post-Checkpoint-Ära”. Als Kandidaten werden vor allem Antikörper-Wirkstoff-Konjugate (antibody-drug conjugates; ADC) gehandelt – und zwar nicht nur zur Therapie des metastasierten Blasenkarzinoms.

The recepteur d’origine nantais (RON) receptor tyrosine kinase, belonging to the mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition proto-oncogene family, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cancers derived from the colon, lung, breast, and pancreas. These findings lay the foundation for targeting RON for cancer treatment. However, development of RON-targeted therapeutics has not gained sufficient attention for the last decade. Although therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (TMABs) targeting RON have been validated in preclinical studies, results from clinical trials have met with limited success. This outcome diminishes pharmaceutical enthusiasm for further development of RON-targeted therapeutics. Recently, antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting RON have drawn special attention owing to their increased therapeutic activity. The rationale for developing anti-RON ADCs is based on the observation that cancer cells are not sufficiently addicted to RON signaling for survival. Thus, TMAB-mediated inhibition of RON signaling is ineffective for clinical application. In contrast, anti-RON ADCs combine a target-specific antibody with potent cytotoxins for cancer cell killing. This approach not only overcomes the shortcomings in TMAB-targeted therapies but also holds the promise for advancing anti-RON ADCs into clinical trials. In this review, we discuss the latest advancements in the development of anti-RON ADCs for targeted cancer therapy including drug conjugation profile, pharmacokinetic properties, cytotoxic effect in vitro, efficacy in tumor models, and toxicological activities in primates.
