Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a promising class of targeted cancer therapeutics that combine the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the potency of cytotoxic payloads. Despite their therapeutic potential, the use of ADCs faces significant challenges, including off/on-target toxicity and resistance development. This review examines the current landscape of ADC development, focusing on the critical aspects of target selection and antibody engineering. We discuss strategies to increase ADC efficacy and safety, including multitarget approaches, pH-dependent antibodies, and masked peptide technologies. The importance of comprehensive antigen expression profiling in both tumor and normal tissues is emphasized, highlighting the role of advanced technologies, such as single-cell sequencing and artificial intelligence, in optimizing target selection. Furthermore, we explore combination therapies and innovations in linker‒payload chemistry, which may provide approaches for expanding the therapeutic window of ADCs. These advances pave the way for the development of more precise and effective cancer treatments, potentially extending ADC applications beyond oncology.

ObjectiveTo compare the difference in adverse reactions after oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy between colorectal cancer patients with or without spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome. MethodsA retrospective study was conducted using the electronic medical records of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Capital Medical University. A total of 483 colorectal cancer patients from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2022 were selected. Patients were divided into two groups based on their syndrome types, that was spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome (SKYDS) group (130 cases) and non-SKYDS group (353 cases). The incidence of adverse reactions including gastrointestinal reactions, liver damage, bone marrow suppression, and peripheral neurotoxicity after completing 2, 4, 6, and more than 6 cycles of chemotherapy was compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the associations of age, gender, alcohol history, primary tumor location, tumor differentiation, tumor staging, chemotherapy courses, and syndrome types with the occurrence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions, liver function damage, bone marrow suppression and peripheral neurotoxicity in colorectal cancer patients who have completed 2, 4, 6 and more than 6 cycles of oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy. ResultsThere were significant differences in the occurrence of gastrointestinal reactions after completing 2, 4, 6 and more than 6 cycles of chemotherapy between the two groups (P<0.01), with much more severe conditions in SKYDS group than non-SKYDS group (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in liver function damage and bone marrow suppression between groups (P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the occurrence of peripheral neurotoxicity after completion of 2 cycles (P=0.044), 4 cycles (P=0.002) and more than 6 cycles (P<0.001) of chemothe-rapy, with higher rate in SKYDS group than the non-SKYDS group (P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that female, patients with stage Ⅲ tumors and patients having completed ≥ 6 cycles of chemotherapy had a higher incidence of bone marrow suppression (P<0.05), and patients with SKYDS had a higher incidence of gastrointestinal reactions (P<0.001). Patients with a history of drinking, stage Ⅳ cancer, and ≥6 cycles of chemotherapy had a higher incidence of liver function injury (P<0.05). Patients with stage Ⅲ cancer, ≥6 cycles of chemotherapy, and SKYDS had a higher incidence of peripheral neurotoxicity (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the risk factor for bone marrow suppression was chemotherapy ≥6 cycles (P=0.001), and SKYDS was the risk factor for gastrointestinal reaction (P<0.001). The risk factor for liver function damage was tumor stage Ⅳ (P=0.001) and SKYDS (P=0.039). All variables had no significant correlation with the occurrence of peripheral neurotoxicity. ConclusionFor colorectal cancer patients, being diagnosed with SKYDS is a risk factor for developing gastrointestinal adverse reactions and peripheral neurotoxicity following chemotherapy with an oxaliplatin-based regimen.

Objective:Based on the specific cleavage and non-specific "trans-cleavage" activities of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated protein(CRISPR/Cas13), we established a visually amplification-free rapid detection technique of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid. This technique is easily processed with a low detection limit and good specificity.Methods:According to the 2019-nCoV gene sequence, specific CRISPR RNAs were screened and designed by bioinformatics analysis, and then synthesized as universal signal-strained RNA transcription targets in vitro to establish and optimize the reaction system. Moreover, the 2019-nCoV pseudoviral nucleic acid was used as a standard substance to evaluate the detection limit. A total of 65 positive samples were collected from various 2019-nCoV variants, while 48 negative samples included other clinically common respiratory pathogens, such as influenza A virus, influenza B virus, human parainfluenza virus, Klebsiella pneumonia, etc. All samples were tested by quantitative PCR (qPCR), digital PCR, and the method established in this study. The sensitivity and specificity of the newly established method were analyzed and evaluated. Results:With the newly established technique, the detection time for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid could be minimized to 6 minutes. In addition, the detection limit was 14 copies/μl when assisted by the displaying instrument, whereas it increased to 28 copies/μl with the naked eye. This technique had a sensitivity and specificity of 98.5% (66/67) and 100% (46/46) respectively, showing no statistically significant difference compared to the gold standard qPCR( P=1). Conclusions:This study has successfully established a CRISPR/Cas13a-based visually rapid detection technique for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid. This technique offers the advantages of a simple process, convenient operation, low environmental operating requirements, a detection limit close to qPCR, and a strong potential for on-site testing applications.
