Labetuzumab govitecan is a monoclonal antibody-drug conjugate designed for targeted cancer therapy. It consists of a humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to the CD74 antigen, which is often overexpressed in various malignancies, particularly certain types of lymphomas and solid tumors. The drug conjugate is linked to a cytotoxic agent, SN-38, which is the active metabolite of the chemotherapeutic drug irinotecan. This design allows for selective delivery of the cytotoxic agent directly to cancer cells, minimizing damage to healthy tissues. Labetuzumab govitecan has shown promise in clinical trials for treating patients with relapsed or refractory cancers, demonstrating efficacy in reducing tumor size and improving patient outcomes. Its mechanism of action involves internalization of the antibody-drug complex into the cancer cell, leading to the release of SN-38 and subsequent induction of apoptosis. As a targeted therapy, it represents a significant advancement in the field of oncology, aiming to enhance treatment effectiveness while reducing systemic side effects associated with conventional chemotherapy.
