drug_mechanism_of_action
Humanized anti‑TROP2 monoclonal antibody linked via a cleavable linker to deruxtecan (DXd), a topoisomerase I inhibitor. After binding TROP2 on tumor cells and internalization, the linker is cleaved to release DXd, which inhibits topoisomerase I, causing DNA damage and apoptosis; the membrane‑permeable payload can also exert a bystander effect.
