Résumé

Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are macromolecules composed of cytotoxic drugs covalently attached via a conditionally stable linker to monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). ADCs are among the most promising next generation of empowered mAbs foreseen to treat cancers. Compared to naked mAbs, ADCs have an increased level of complexity as the heterogeneity of conjugation cumulates with the inherent microvariability of the biomolecule. An increasing need underlying ADC's development and optimization is to improve its analytical and bioanalytical characterization by assessing three main ADC quality attributes: drug distribution, amount of naked antibody, and average drug to antibody ratio (DAR). Here, the analytical potential of native mass spectrometry (MS) and native ion mobility MS (IM-MS) is compared to hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC), the reference method for quality control of interchain cysteinyl-linked ADCs. Brentuximab vedotin, first in class and gold standard, was chosen for a proof of principle. High resolution native MS provided accurate mass measurement (
