Approved drug
sacituzumab govitecan is an approved drug (FDA (2020), EMA (2021))
Compound class: Antibody
Comment: IMMU-132 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) with SN-38 (the active metabolite of the topoisomerase inhibitor irinotecan) covalently linked to an anti-TROP-2 monoclonal antibody (see patent US8574575 [1]) [2-3,5]. TROP-2 is a transmembrane glycoprotein, cell surface antigen which has oncogenic activity in cancers of epithelial origin [6], but expression is restricted in normal tissue. Directing SN-38 to cancer cells via TROP-2 binding is predicted to limit toxicity towards healthy tissue/cells.
