How Datroway Works
12.1 Mechanism of Action Datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk, is a Trop-2-directed antibody-drug conjugate. The antibody is a humanized anti-Trop2 IgG1. The small molecule, DXd, is a topoisomerase I inhibitor attached to the antibody by a cleavable linker. Following binding to Trop-2 on cells, including tumor cells, datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk undergoes internalization and intracellular linker cleavage by lysosomal enzymes. Upon release, the membrane-permeable DXd causes DNA damage and apoptotic cell death. Datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk had anti-tumor activity in mouse models of lung cancer including EGFR-mutated and breast cancer.
