Global Antibody Drug Conjugates Market Share (%), By Product Type, 2023

Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) is typically made up of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) covalently attached to a cytotoxic drug via a chemical linker. It combines the advantages of highly specific targeting ability and a highly potent killing effect to achieve accurate and efficient elimination of cancer cells, making it one of the hotspots for anticancer drug research and development. Since the approval of the first ADC, Padcev (gemtuzumab ozogamicin) in 2000 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), till now 14 ADCs have been approved for market use worldwide. Furthermore, over 100 ADC candidates are currently being studied in clinical stages. Antibody-drug conjugates attach highly potent cytotoxic anticancer agents to monoclonal antibodies via biodegradable, stable linkers and discriminate between cancer and normal tissue. These linkers are either cleavable or non-cleavable. Linker technology advancements are required to attach monoclonal antibodies to cytotoxic anticancer agents, allowing control over drug pharmacokinetics and significantly improving cytotoxic agent delivery to cancer cells. The specific binding of the targeting antibody-drug conjugate to the specific tumor antigen and the internalization of the antigen-antibody complex to ensure focused delivery of the conjugated cytotoxic agent inside tumor cells are critical to the efficacy of antibody-targeted chemotherapy.
Market Dynamics
Approvals of novel ADC candidates for the treatment of cancer are anticipated to support the market growth over the forecasted period. For instance, on February 3, 2023, Gilead Sciences, Inc., a pharmaceutical firm, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval for Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) to be used in treating adult patients afflicted with inoperable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer that is hormone receptor (HR)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative (IHC 0, IHC 1+, or IHC 2+/ISH-). These patients should have previously undergone endocrine-based therapy and received a minimum of two additional systemic therapies in the metastatic phase.
