Abstract
Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) are a novel class of therapeutics that structurally are composed by an antibody directed to a tumour epitope connected via a linker to a cytotoxic payload, and that have shown significant antitumor activity across a range of malignancies including lung cancer. In this article we review the pharmacology and design of ADCs, as well as we describe the results of different studies evaluating ADCs in lung cancer directed to several targets including HER2, HER3, TROP2, MET, CEACAM5 and DLL3, among others.
