The incidence of gastroesophageal cancers is rising, driven, in part, by an increasing burden of risk factors of obesity and gastroesophageal reflux. Despite efforts to address these risk factors, and a growing interest in methods of population screening, the bulk of these tumours are unresectable at diagnosis. In this setting, effective systemic treatments are paramount to improve survival and quality of life.

Antibodies have gained clinical success in the last two decades for the targeted delivery of highly toxic small molecule chemotherapeutics. Yet antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) often fail in the clinic due to the development of resistance. The delivery of two mechanistically distinct small molecule drugs on one antibody is of increasing interest to overcome these challenges with single-drug ADCs.

Background: Most HER2-positive breast or gastric cancers eventually become resistant to the approved anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) and trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd). Disitamab vedotin (DV) is a novel anti-HER2 ADC that binds to a different epitope on HER2 compared to trastuzumab. We assessed the efficacy of DV in breast and gastric cancer cell lines and xenografts, including tumor models resistant to T-DM1 and T-DXd.

Background And Objective: As the most common cancer to progress to brain metastases (BMs), lung cancer presents with intracranial involvement in approximately 20% of patients at the time of diagnosis and lung cancer BMs constitute approximately half of all BMs. The current clinical strategy for managing lung cancer BMs involves a combination of systemic anticancer therapies with local radiation or surgical interventions. The efficacy of systemic treatments is often constrained by the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the poor inhibition effect of the drug itself.

Non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) is one of the major histopathological types of lung cancer, accounting for about 85 percent of all lung cancers. The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) alteration in NSCLC include gene mutations, gene amplifications, and protein overexpression, and is one of the important driving target. Currently, the treatment options for HER-2 altered NSCLC are still relatively limited, and more effective drugs are urgently needed.
