How SGN-15 works
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.
