ABSTRACT

At present, antibody-drug conjugate is the focus of the research and development of new anticancer drugs. Three antibody-drug conjugates have been approved for the treatment of urothelial carcinoma, including Enfortumab Vedotin (Nectin-4 antibody-MMAE conjugate), Sacitumab Govitecan (Trop-2 antibody-SN-38 conjugate), and Disitamab Vedotin (HER2 antibody-MMAE conjugate) significantly improved the prognosis in patients with advanced disease, revolutionizing the treatment landscape of urothelial carcinoma. In addition, a number of studies that focus on combination of antibody-drug conjugate with targeted therapy, immunocheckpoint inhibitors is also under way. This article reviews the recent clinical development of antibody-drug conjugate in the treatment of urothelial carcinoma in recent years.
