Abstract
MRG003, a novel EGFR-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), demonstrates significant efficacy in heavily pretreated patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma. With an objective response rate of 42% and encouraging overall survival, MRG003 appears to overcome previous limitations of EGFR therapies. Its manageable safety profile and bystander-killing effect highlight the potential of ADCs to revolutionize treatment paradigms in this population.
