Antibody drug conjugates (ADC’s), a novel class of anticancer agents, have been around for decades but recently great strides have been made in metastatic breast cancer. Next generation ADC’s, sometimes referred to as ' Trojan Horses' have shown promising efficacy in all subtypes of MBC. Join Dr. Erika Hamilton, Director of Breast Cancer and Gynecologic Cancer Research at Sarah Cannon Research Institute, and partner with Tennessee Oncology PLCC, as she presents an overview of ADC’s, biomarkers and clinical mapping, current treatment options, as well as the promising trials to keep an eye on. There will be time for your questions throughout the presentation.

Management of ILD with T-DXd
Tarantino P & Tolaney SM JCO Onc Prac 2023
Careful patient selection
during screening to
optimize monitoring
strategies
Continue monitoring
during treatment to
exclude signs/symptoms
of ILD
Monitor using high
resolution chest CT
Baseline scan
recommended, with repeat
scans every 6-12 weeks
Minimizing risk of ILD
involves teamwork -
educating patients and
the care team is essential
Multidisciplinary
management is required
once ILD is suspected
T-DXd should be
interrupted if ILD is
suspected
T-DXd can be restarted
only in case of
asymptomatic ILD that
has fully resolved
Corticosteroids are
the mainstay of treatment
and the dose should be
tailored to toxicity grade

Editor's Notes
ADCs are like smart bombs
ADCs are like smart bombs
ADCs are like smart bombs
ADCs are like smart bombs
Using cleavable linkers, ADCs can be designed to promote drug release from the target cell to the extracellular space. Thereby, surrounding and bystander cells, which may or may not express the ADC
target antigen, can be killed by taking up the cytotoxic drug.
New advances 8/25/20
Aditya Bardia et al.
ASCO 2022; Abstract 1071.
New advances 8/25/20
Need for updated recommendations with more potent ADCs which carry higher risk of nausea and vomiting (e.g. T-DXd, sacituzumab govitecan)
Emphasis on individualizing therapy for risk factors and prior tolerability
