Video content is prompted by the following: Future Potential of Novel Therapeutic Approaches
Key Discussion Points:
- TROP-2 ADCs
- Multiple TROP-2 ADCs in development, including sacituzumab govitecan and datopotamab deruxtecan
- Most require weekly or every-15-day dosing schedules vs 21-day dosing for other ADCs
- Clinical development decisions likely to be influenced by biomarker selection, toxicity profiles, and patient convenience factors
- Additional ADC Development
- Multiple targeted ADCs in clinical development (catherin-6, folate, claudin-6, B7H4)
- Next generation agents like IMGN-151 (biparatopic folate–targeted with different microtubule toxin)
- Selection criteria may shift toward safety and patient experience if efficacy appears similar
- Cellular Therapies
- Engineered T-cells showing more promise than CAR T in ovarian cancer
- CAR-NK cells potentially more promising than CAR T
- Manufacturing challenges include extended production time and patient selection issues
Notable Insights:
“CAR T, the limitation with ovary is that a lot of our proteins are intracellular proteins...but CAR-NK may be a completely different ballgame for us.”
“The challenge with [cellular therapies] is...you can’t leave people just sitting around for 2 months waiting for manufacture of cells who have kind of actively growing disease. It’s not ethical.”
