Mersana Therapeutics received FDA Fast Track designation for XMT-1660, targeting advanced/metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. XMT-1660, a B7-H4-directed ADC, shows promise in preclinical studies, with a Phase 1 trial underway to assess its safety and efficacy in solid tumors, including breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancers.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) target tumor-specific antigens to deliver cytotoxic drugs selectively, minimizing systemic toxicity. Over 15 ADCs are in preclinical investigation for ovarian cancer, with some showing promise in early-phase trials. ADCs consist of an antibody, linker, and cytotoxic payload, targeting antigens like FRα, NaPi2B, MUC16, mesothelin, and tissue factor. Despite challenges, ADCs offer a novel therapeutic strategy with a favorable toxicity profile.
