ADCC⁺ Antibody Applications

ADCC⁺ Antibody Applications

In some follow-up studies conducted on antibody drugs that have been on the market for years (such as rituximab (CD20) and trastuzumab (HER2)), it was found that ADCC effect of these antibodies is an important mechanism for tumor killing in vivo. Because the scarcity of existing targets and the difficulty of discovering new targets for immune treatments, some scientists turn their attention to the development of biobetter drugs. For this reason, how to cultivate or refine existing target antibodies is now a hot spot in the field.

Enhancing the ADCC effect of antibody drugs and exerting stronger tumor killing function are essential parts for biobetter drug development. Up to now, two antibody drugs with enhanced ADCC effects have been approved by the FDA, Roche's CD20 antibody Gazyva and Concord-fermented Kirin CCR4 antibody Poteligeo. Here, we summarize the clinical applications of these ADCC⁺ antibodies.

Below are selected examples of ADCC/CDC therapeutic antibodies that are either approved by FDA or currently being developed in clinical settings. We can help to develop a novel ADCC/CDC⁺ antibody to support your antibody drug discovery.
