drug_description
An intravenous, fully humanized IgG1 antibody–drug conjugate targeting B7-H3 (CD276). Upon binding and internalization into B7-H3–expressing tumor cells, it releases a cytotoxic payload to induce direct tumor cell killing. Tested as 10 mg/kg monotherapy in advanced solid tumors including recurrent/metastatic HNSCC.

Anti-B7-H3 Antibody-drug Conjugate HS-20093
nci_thesaurus_definition
An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of a humanized immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 monoclonal antibody directed against the T-cell checkpoint ligand B7-homologue 3 (B7-H3, CD276) covalently linked to a topoisomerase inhibitor (TOPOi), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration of anti-B7-H3 ADC HS-20093, the anti-B7-H3 monoclonal antibody moiety targets and binds to B7-H3 expressed on tumor cells. Upon binding and internalization, the TOPOi is released, and inhibits DNA topoisomerase activity, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and resulting in cell cycle arrest and tumor cell apoptosis. This inhibits the proliferation of B7-H3-expressing tumor cells. B7-H3, a type I transmembrane protein and a member of the B7 co-stimulatory protein superfamily, is an immunoregulatory protein overexpressed on certain tumor cell types and on various immune cells. It is a negative regulator of the T-cell activation and its overexpression plays a key role in tumor cell invasion and metastasis.

drug_mechanism_of_action
Fully humanized IgG1 ADC that binds B7-H3 (CD276) on tumor cells, is internalized, and releases a topoisomerase inhibitor payload, inhibiting DNA topoisomerase activity to block DNA replication and induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in B7-H3–expressing cancer cells.
