There are currently 6 unconjugated antibodies and 3 immunoconjugates approved for use in the United States in a variety of cancers, with a considerable number of new agents in clinical testing and preclinical development. Unconjugated antibodies alone can be effective, but more often, antibodies need to be combined with chemotherapy, which enhances the efficacy of the standard treatment. Immunoconjugates tend to be more effective than their unconjugated counterparts, but their increased toxicity often restricts when and how they are used. In order to improve efficacy, a number of immunoconjugates are being examined in settings where the disease is more easily accessible, such as leukemias, or within compartments that allow easier and more direct access to the tumor, such as in the peritoneal cavity or brain, or both locally and systemically, in adjuvant situations, where the disease burden has been reduced by some other means, and with the main goal of these treatments being to kill residual disease.
