An ADC drug consists of monoclonal antibodies conjugated to a payload via a linker, for the precise targeting of antigen-positive cancer cells.
ADCs are developed to target protein receptors with high expression such as HER2, TROP-2, CD22, and others.
There are two cytotoxic payload types predominantly used in ADCs: microtubule inhibitors (MMAE, DM1/DM4), and the more potent DNA-damaging payloads such as topoisomerase I inhibitors (DXd, SN38).
Linkers maintain the stability of the ADC and may induce a ‘bystander effect’ if the payload is released adjacent to the tumor cell.
The global ADC market grew from $50 million in 2011 to $9.2 billion by 2023. The analyst anticipates the market to exceed $40 billion by 2029.
The rapid growth seen is due to several blockbuster ADCs: Daiichi Sankyo’s Enhertu, Roche’s Kadcyla, Astellas Pharma & Pfizer’s Padcev, and Gilead’s Trodelvy, as well as the commercial success of other ADCs.
Daiichi’s deruxtecan payload technology has led to HER2-targeting Enhertu, the highest-grossing ADC approved for multiple indications. Enhertu generated $3.4 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $14 billion by 2029. Additionally, the company has several pipeline agents expected to have marked commercial success, notably TROP-2-targeting DS-1062 for metastatic breast and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
In December 2023, Pfizer completed a $43 billion acquisition of ADC-focused biotech Seagen. Through the buy-out, Pfizer gained the rights to Padcev and a pipeline of early-stage ADCs.
