Drugdu.com expert’s response: Antibody drugs and RNA drugs are two distinct categories of biotechnology medications, each possessing unique strengths and weaknesses. Below is a detailed analysis of their respective advantages and disadvantages: Ⅰ. Advantages of Antibody Drugs High Specificity: Antibody drugs can specifically recognize and bind to target antigens, typically proteins on cell surfaces, providing a high degree of selectivity that minimizes damage to normal cells. Long-lasting Effect: Antibody drugs typically have longer half-lives, enabling extended duration of action within the body, reducing the frequency of dosing and enhancing patient convenience. Low Immunogenicity: Fully humanized antibody drugs exhibit lower immunogenicity, mitigating the risk of immune reactions and improving drug tolerability and safety. High Success Rate: In clinical studies, antibody drugs demonstrate significantly higher success rates compared to traditional small-molecule chemical drugs. In the US, approximately 25%-30% of large-molecule drugs (including antibody drugs) entering clinical trials are ultimately approved for market, ...

In the field of tumors, any breakthrough is not easy. Although humans have discovered cancer for a long time, chemotherapy has long been the core treatment method. Of course, after countless failures and dashed hopes, once there is a breakthrough, the progress is often unexpected. For example, after decades of silence, the treatment of small cell carcinoma seems to have ushered in a period of accelerated breakthroughs. On August 15, AstraZeneca announced that its drug durvalumab has been accepted by the FDA for the indication of limited small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC). If approved for marketing, this will be the first immunotherapy in 40 years to show survival benefits in this field, representing an important breakthrough. For limited-stage SCLC, the current first-line treatment is still chemoradiotherapy, especially the treatment of cisplatin combined with etoposide, which occupies an absolute dominant position in treatment. Amgen has also made progress in the field ...
