Datopotamab Deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients With Active Brain Metastases

Trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2)-directed antibody drug conjugate (ADC) consisting of a humanized anti-TROP2 monoclonal antibody (MAAP-9001a), a GGFG tetra-peptide linker, and a Topo I inhibitor (MAAA-1181a, derived from exatecan). Upon binding to TROP2 on the cell surface, Dato-DXd internalizes into the cells and releases MAAA-1181a in the cytoplasm which inhibits cell replication and promotes cell apoptosis.
