Drugs that destroy proteins can hit healthy cells too. Attaching them to an antibody that only docks onto tumour cells would keep them where they are needed.
Degrader-antibody conjugates replace cytotoxic payloads with a targeted protein degrader, so the payload is only released inside antigen-positive cells. Early programmes target BRD4 and other essential proteins that are too toxic to degrade systemically. This is a route to attack undruggable but essential nuclear proteins that would otherwise be intolerable.
