August 2026 was a busy month for the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) field, with activity spanning the full arc of development. Highlights included early discovery partnerships, manufacturing alliances, a practice-changing phase 3 readout in lung cancer, and the first dosing of a novel Treg-depleting ADC.

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) have transformed targeted cancer therapy by enabling the selective delivery of cytotoxic agents to tumor cells, sparing healthy tissue. The design of ADCs allows for higher doses of the cytotoxic drug to be administered, potentially increasing efficacy. They are currently considered the most promising drug classes in oncology, with ongoing efforts to expand their use for non-oncological indications and in combination therapies.
