Abstract C026: DS-1062a, a novel TROP2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate with a novel DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor DXd, demonstrates potent antitumor activity in preclinical models

Background: A trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2) is a 36-kDa single-pass transmembrane protein overexpressed in various epithelial tumors including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with relatively low and restricted expression in normal tissues, and is associated with aggressive tumor behavior. Therefore, TROP2 could be an attractive target for cancer therapy. We created DS-1062a, TROP2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) with...
