Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)
drug_description
An intravenous antibody-drug conjugate targeting Nectin-4; the monoclonal antibody binds Nectin-4 on tumor cells, is internalized, and releases a cytotoxic payload intracellularly to kill the cancer cell. Intended for Nectin-4-expressing epithelial tumors (e.g., urothelial carcinoma, TNBC, NSCLC, esophageal, pancreatic, ovarian, cervical, HNSCC, prostate).

Anti-nectin-4 Antibody-drug Conjugate LY4052031
nci_thesaurus_definition
An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of a human monoclonal antibody directed against the cell surface adhesion molecule and tumor-associated antigen (TAA) nectin-4 (PVRL4) conjugated, via a cleavable peptide linker, to the camptothecin analog and topoisomerase 1 inhibitor LSN3889710, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration of the anti-nectin-4 ADC LY4052031, the anti-nectin-4 antibody moiety targets and binds to nectin-4 expressed on tumor cells. Upon binding, internalization and linker cleavage, LSN3889710 is released. LSN3889710 inhibits DNA topoisomerase I activity, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and resulting in cell cycle arrest and tumor cell apoptosis. This inhibits the proliferation of nectin-4-expressing tumor cells. Nectin-4, an immunoglobulin-like protein belonging to the nectin family, is overexpressed in a variety of cancers.

drug_mechanism_of_action
A monoclonal antibody targets Nectin-4 on tumor cells, is internalized, and via a cleavable linker releases the camptothecin analog/topoisomerase I inhibitor LSN3889710, inhibiting DNA replication and inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in Nectin-4–expressing tumors.
