Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are promising targeted cancer therapies but have a limited payload scope. Antibody–bottlebrush prodrug conjugates offer modular synthesis and high drug-to-antibody ratios, enabling the use of a broad range of payloads, including lower potency drugs, while performing favorably compared to traditional ADCs in preclinical models.
