EGFR-targeting ADCs: From oncogene addiction to antigen-guided drug delivery.

Abstract

In this issue of Cancer Cell, Li et al. report a first-in-human phase 1 study of SYS6010, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeting antibody-drug conjugate, in advanced solid tumors. The study highlights how EGFR-directed therapy moves beyond kinase inhibition toward antigen-guided cytotoxic delivery in non-small cell lung cancer.
