Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting Nectin-4 for treating cancers with low or heterogeneous Nectin-4 expression, including bladder, breast, lung, and pancreatic cancers. The ADCs comprise a Nectin-4-binding antibody conjugated to a camptothecin analogue, such as exatecan, through a cleavable linker. The ADCs can be used in patients with Nectin-4-expressing cancers who have received prior chemotherapy or have resistance to HER2-targeted therapies. The ADCs exhibit improved efficacy and reduced toxicity compared to existing Nectin-4-targeted ADCs, enabling treatment of patients with low or moderate Nectin-4 expression levels.
