NCIt definition : An antibody drug conjugate (ADC) composed of bulumtatug, a humanized monoclonal antibody
directed against the cell surface adhesion molecule and tumor-associated antigen (TAA)
nectin-4 (PVRL4), site-specifically conjugated, via a linker, to the cytotoxic agent
monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration
of bulumtatug fuvedotin, the anti-nectin-4 antibody targets and binds to nectin-4
expressed on tumor cells. Upon binding and internalization, MMAE binds to tubulin
and inhibits its polymerization, which results in G2/M phase arrest and induces apoptosis
in nectin-4-expressing tumor cells. Nectin-4, a TAA belonging to the nectin family,
is overexpressed in a variety of cancers, but has a restricted distribution in normal
tissue.;
