A bispecific nanobody-drug conjugate targeting TROP2 and c-Met for low-concentration, single-dose treatment of pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer remains highly lethal with limited treatment options. Although antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as promising therapeutic agents, their efficacy is often limited by heterogeneous antigen expression and poor tumor penetration. To address these limitations, we develop B6ADC, a nanobody-based bispecific ADC that simultaneously targets TROP2 and c-Met. In preclinical studies, B6ADC exhibits potent cytotoxicity in vitro across various TROP2/c-Met-expressing cancer cell lines and superior tumor inhibition in vivo compared with single-target ADC combination, including the clinically approved TROP2 ADC sacituzumab govitecan and c-Met ADC Teliso-V, as well as their combination. Notably, B6ADC eradicates giant tumors with a single dose at a low concentration of 2.2 mg/kg. We present a nanobody-based BsADC that simultaneously targets TROP2 and c-Met, with broad-spectrum antitumor activity, and improves selectivity for tumors with dual-positive or weakly positive antigen expression, offering a promising strategy for treating pancreatic cancer and other TROP2/c-Met-expressing malignancies.
