Anti-MMAE (Monomethyl auristatin E) Antibodies and MMAE Conjugates: For PK/PD Studies on MMAE-ADC

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are regarded as a novel class of powerful therapeutic agents for cancer therapy, which consist of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) covalently bound with a cytotoxic drug through a chemical linker. mAb recognize antigens overexpressed on the surface of tumor cells, and cytotoxic payload is responsible for the execution of tumor cell killing. Monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) is the most widely used payload in ADC design. MMAE is a potent antimitotic drug that exerts its action by blocking the tubulin polymerization process resulting in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. It has shown potent activity in pre-clinical studies, both in vitro and in vivo, against a range of lymphomas, leukemia and solid tumors. In International Nonproprietary Names for mAb-MMAE-conjugates, the name vedotin refers to MMAE plus its linking structure to the antibody. As of 2021, three MMAE-based ADCs have been licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

ADCs are complex molecules with unique critical quality attributes. Considering the heterogeneity and complex changes in ADC concentration and composition after ADC administration, three analytes are routinely measured in order to characterize the PK properties of an ADC: antibody-conjugated MMAE (acMMAE), total antibody, and unconjugated MMAE. Creative Diagnostics has developed anti-MMAE antibodies and paired conjugates suitable for ADC ELISA assay development. It can be used in the quantitative determination of antibody-MMAE-conjugate level in test sample for pre-clinical and clinical pharmacology study of MMAE ADC.
