    Abstract Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is an aggressive, although infrequent form of invasive breast cancer. Despite some advances in systemic treatment, even in the early setting, with combined-modality approach being the current recommended standard of care, the prognosis of IBC still remains unfavorable and has not significantly improved over time. Thus, a better understanding of the biology of IBC is eagerly awaited in order to identify possible targets for new drug development. This paper aims to provide an overview on recent data on the molecular and biological features of IBC and on possible targetable pathways. Molecular subtypes of IBC, similarly to other forms of breast cancer, have both therapeutic and prognostic implications. Moreover, few activated pathways have been described in IBC, including angiogenesis, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Janus kinase/signal transducer of activation (JAK/STAT) signaling and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt/mTOR (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) pathways. However, when tested in clinical trials, agents targeting these pathways have provided only small benefit. Several clinical trials are currently ongoing investigating combination of standard chemotherapeutics, new targeted agents and immunotherapy. Moreover, tumor microenvironment (TME) is likely to play a central role in the disease; targeting the components of the tumor stroma may represent an interesting therapeutic strategy.

    Abstract Metastatic breast cancer (BC) remains an incurable disease. Besides endocrine and targeted agents, chemotherapy is still a relevant therapeutic option for this disease. Recently, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have shown to overcome the lack of tumor specificity and systemic toxicity typically associated with traditional chemotherapies, thus improving the therapeutic index. To effectively exploit this technological breakthrough, identification of optimal target antigens (Ags) is of utmost importance. To make the ideal target, differential expression of target Ags between healthy and cancer tissues, as well as specific mechanisms of ADC internalization after Ag-antibody interaction are required. Therefore, several in silico strategies to identify and characterize new promising candidate Ags have been developed. If initial in vitro and in vivo positive data are documented, thus providing a biological rationale for further Ag investigation, early phase clinical trials are designed. In BC, these strategies have already led to the development of effective ADCs, namely trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) and sacituzumab govitecan (SG), primarily targeting HER2 and TROP-2. However, promising new Ags are currently under investigation, with encouraging results especially coming from targeting HER3, FRα, Tissue Factor, LIV-1, ROR1-2, and B7-H4. In this review, we describe the landscape of emergent and future potential targets (i.e., other than HER2 and TROP-2) investigated in BC for ADC development. Predominant target expression, function, preclinical rationale, potential clinical implication, as well as preliminary clinical trial results are provided.

    Abstract Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a cornerstone in the treatment of many cancers nowadays. ADCs fulfill their function by binding a target on tumor cell membrane to deliver a cytotoxic payload; in addition, those moieties capable of crossing cancer cell membranes can achieve near-by cells that do not express the target antigen, exerting the so-called "bystander" cytotoxic effect. The presence of a specific target antigen expressed on cancer cells has been for long considered crucial for ADCs and commonly required for the inclusion of patients in clinical trials with ADCs. To date, only ado-trastuzumab-emtansine, fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki, and mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx are approved according to the expression of a target antigen in solid tumors, while the clinical use of other ADCs (eg, sacituzumab govitecan) is not conditioned by the presence of a specific biomarker. Given the ever-growing number of approved ADCs and those under investigation, it is essential to find new biomarkers to guide their use, especially in those settings for which different ADCs are approved to establish the best therapeutic sequence based on robust biomarkers. Hence, this work addresses the role of target antigens in predicting response to ADCs, focusing on examples of antigens' targetability according to their expression on cancer cells' surface or to the presence of specific target aberrations (eg, mutation or over-expression). New methods for the assessment and quantification of targets' expression, like molecular imaging and in vitro assays, might be key tools to improve biomarker analysis and eventually deliver better outcomes by refined patient selection.

    Abstract Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a relatively new class of anticancer agents designed to merge the selectivity of monoclonal antibodies with cell killing properties of chemotherapy. They are commonly described as the "Trojan Horses" of therapeutic armamentarium, because of their capability of directly conveying cytotoxic drug (payloads) into the tumor space, thus transforming chemotherapy into a targeted agent. Three novel ADCs have been recently approved, i.e., trastuzumab deruxtecan, sacituzumab govitecan and enfortumab vedotin, respectively, targeting HER2, Trop2 and Nectin4. Thanks to progressive advances in engineering technologies these drugs rely on, the spectrum of diseases sensitive to these drugs as well as their indications are in continuous expansion. Several novel ADCs are under evaluation, exploring new potential targets along with innovative payloads. This review aims at providing a summary of the technology behind these compounds and at presenting the latest ADCs approved in solid tumors, as well as at describing novel targets for ADCs under investigation and new strategies to optimize their efficacy in solid tumors.

    Abstract Opinion statement: Breast cancer (BC) guidelines subdivide the disease into three main groups, namely hormone receptor (HR)-positive HER2-negative, HER2-positive, and triple-negative BC (TNBC). The natural history of the HER2-positive subtype has changed since the introduction of HER-targeted therapies, which demonstrated benefit only in case of HER2 overexpression (IHC, score 3+) or gene amplification. Such observation may depend on direct drug inhibition of HER2 downstream signaling, which is needed for survival and proliferation in HER2-addicted BC. Clinically focused categories cannot comprehensively describe biology, as almost half of the currently defined HER2-negative BCs show some degree of IHC expression and have been recently renamed as HER2-low. Why? As technological breakthroughs enable the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), target antigens may be viewed not only as a biological switch to be turned on-off by targeted drugs but also as an anchor for ADC docking and tethering. As trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) has already proven in the clinical trial DESTINY-Breast04, even fewer HER2 available receptors on cancer cells may be sufficient for a clinical benefit. So, for HR-negative HER2-low subtype (~40% of TNBCs), though only 58 patients had been enrolled in DESTINY-Breast04, the observed benefit, together with the dismal prognosis of TNBC, warrants the use of T-DXd. Notably, another topoisomerase-based ADC, sacituzumab govitecan, has already been granted approval for pretreated TNBC (ASCENT). As no head-to-head comparison has been performed, the choice relies on regulatory approvals at the time of patient assessment, critical appraisal of available evidence, and careful evaluation of possible cross-resistance with sequential use of ADCs. As for HR-positive HER2-low disease (~60% of HR-positive tumors), DESTINY-Breast04 provides solid evidence for T-DXd prioritization in either second or third treatment lines. Although the remarkable activity observed in this setting favorably compares with outcomes observed in treatment-naive patients, the ongoing DESTINY-Breast06 will clarify the role of T-DXd in this population.

    Abstract Immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) represent a major development in cancer therapy. The indications for these agents continue to expand across malignancies and disease settings. For years breast cancer (BC) has been considered immunologically quiescent compared with other tumor types. However, recent findings highlighted the immunogenicity of some BCs and paved the way for clinical trials of immunotherapy in BC that led to recent landmark approvals. As a drawback, the safety profile of ICIs is shaped by a specific spectrum of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) that can vary according to ICI class and tumor histology. This review will discuss the epidemiology of these adverse events, their kinetics, risk factors and the most important aspects in their management. A particular focus will be put on BC as the current landscape of immunotherapy for this disease is rapidly increasing the number of people treated with ICIs, thus susceptible to irAEs.
