Antibody drug conjugates, or ADCs, are still holding on to their spot as one of the hottest areas in cancer care—and AbbVie, like many of its peers, has embraced the trend head-on.

In this week’s episode of "The Top Line," Fierce Pharma’s Zoey Becker speaks with Daejin Abidoye, M.D., AbbVie’s vice president and therapeutic area head for solid tumor oncology. They discuss the company’s evolution, trends from this year’s American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting and what’s ahead for ADCs in oncology.

AbbVie, a newer player in the ADC space, recently earned FDA approval for Emrelis in adults with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have previously received systemic therapy. With a robust pipeline of ADCs in development, Abidoye envisions a bright future for the class—one that could herald “a new era” of cancer treatment beyond traditional chemotherapy.
