| Description | SGN-15 is studied in the treatment of cancer. It combines a monoclonal antibody with the anticancer drug doxorubicin. Monoclonal antibodies are substances that are made in the laboratory and that can locate and bind to cancer cells. Doxorubicin is a type of anthracycline antitumor antibiotic. When it is combined with a monoclonal antibody, it forms a type of drug conjugate. Also called cBR96-doxorubicin immunoconjugate. |
| Indication/Disease | Investigated for use/treatment in breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and lung cancer. |
| Pharmacodynamics | NA |
| Mechanism of Action | SGN-15 is a first-generation product composed of the chimeric BR96 antibody chemically joined by an acid-labile hydrazone linker to the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin. The antibody component binds to a Lewisy—related carbohydrate antigen that is highly expressed on many solid tumors; it internalizes rapidly and then releases the drug payload at the low pH present with the tumor cells. |
