Mikel Ross discusses data describing antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) from the ESMO Virtual Congress 2020 and how they might affect the management of patients with solid tumours.
In this interview, Mikel Ross answers the following questions:
- There are several different ADCs already available or in development – in which tumour types do you think ADCs have the most to offer?
- Do you think ADCs are likely to be tested in earlier lines of treatment in the future?
- Which adverse events are the most troublesome for patients receiving ADCs, and how much does the risk of interstitial lung disease affect patient selection for ADC therapy?
- How do you counsel patients receiving ADCs with regards to AEs, and which supportive therapies do you recommend?
- What did you consider to be the most potentially practice-altering data describing ADCs presented at ESMO this year?
- Given the number of trials in progress involving ADCs, which studies would you be especially interested in seeing results from over the next 12 months?
