ADCs, or antibody-drug conjugates, are a new class of extremely potent biopharmaceutical drugs that contain an antibody connected to a cytotoxic or biologically active substance by a chemical linker. These targeted agents combine the potent cell-killing properties of cytotoxic drugs with the distinct and highly sensitive targeting capabilities of antibodies, allowing sensitive discrimination between healthy and cancerous tissues. Nearly 100 investigational antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are presently undergoing pre-clinical and clinical trials, and ten of these have already been approved for the market.

The Global Antibody Drug Conjugates Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 4.29 Bn in 2021, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 14.0% over the forecast period (2021-2028).

Combining the distinct, high specificity, properties, and anti-tumor activity of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), which are tumor-specific but insufficiently cytotoxic, with the potent cell-killing activity of highly cytotoxic small molecule drugs, which are unsuitable for systemic administration alone, constitutes an innovative therapeutic application known as antibody-drug conjugates.

Simply put, antibody-drug conjugates "deactivate" cytotoxins and deliver them to particular cancer cells. The cytotoxin is released once it has internalised into the tumour cell, at which point it regains its full capacity to kill cancer. Cell death follows quickly as a result of this. While the idea behind antibody-drug conjugates is fairly simple to grasp, designing and synthesising a fully functional and efficient conjugate is remarkably difficult, frequently requiring specialised development teams.
