Résumé

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are an emerging class of therapeutics for lung cancer, and several are currently in development for this malignancy. The structure of these molecules is based on an antibody that targets a protein on the lung cancer cell surface and a cytotoxic payload attached by a linker. Many protein targets, including TROP2, c-MET, CEACAM5, HER2, and HER3 have been identified. In metastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) without alterations in oncogenic drivers, platinum-based chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting the programmed death-1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD1/PDL1) interaction are the standard first-line treatments. In patients with EGFR-mutated or ALK-rearranged NSCLC, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are recommended. However, although the prognosis of patients with metastatic NSCLC differs between such with and without alterations in oncogenic drivers, most patients eventually experience disease progression. A novel therapeutic class is needed in routine practice to overcome the mechanisms of resistance to ICIs and EGFR/ALK TKIs. Several ADCs have already been approved for other cancers, such as breast cancer and urothelial carcinoma. This review summarizes the knowledge about the efficacy and tolerance profiles of ADCs targeting TROP2, HER2, HER3, CEACAM5 and c-MET in metastatic NSCLC with and without alterations in oncogenic drivers.
