Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) are a new class of biological therapies that combine drugs with monoclonal antibodies to provide targeted delivery. They are designed to deliver potent cytotoxins to tumors, thereby minimizing systemic toxicity. The drug-antibody ratio (DAR) of ADC has an important impact on the efficacy and pharmacokinetics of ADC. Drug-antibody ratio (DAR) refers to the average number of drugs combined with antibodies. Low drug loading will reduce the efficacy, while high drug loading will have a negative impact on pharmacokinetics and toxicity. Therefore, optimization and close monitoring of DAR during ADC development is also important because it provides a reliable solution for the determination of DAR in ADC in pharmacokinetics.
