Keywords: antibody-drug conjugate bioanalysis, ligand-binding assay, hybrid ligand-binding/LC-MS assay, drug-toantibody ratio Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) consists of a cytotoxic drug covalently bound to a monoclonal antibody via a linker. Because of the complexity of ADC structure unique bioanalytical strategies are needed to identify, characterize and quantify the ADC species most relevant to safety and efficacy. ADC bioanalysis need an integrated bioanalytical approach including ligand-binding assay (LBA) and LC-MS based assays to provide comprehensive characterization of the exposure/response relationship. This mini-review will summarize recent publications on ADC bioanalytical strategies and will focus on the publications within last three years on the advancement of hybrid ligand-binding/LC-MS methods for ADC PK and stability evaluation and for intact ADC-DAR distribution measurement to profile ADC biotransformation and catabolism. Special attention is paid to the publications on selection of ADC analytes, assay platforms and DAR characteristics of LBA as well as on the transition of the bioanalytical testing strategy at different phases of clinical development.
