- Data from novel Top1i ADC and T-cell engager platforms highlight potential within solid tumors and blood cancers, including oral presentations in prostate cancer, small cell lung cancer,platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and multiple myeloma -
NORTH CHICAGO, Ill.,May 21, 2026/PRNewswire/ -- AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) today announced that it will present new data at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago demonstrating the depth and breadth of its oncology pipeline. The data will be shared through multiple oral presentations and posters spanning solid tumors and blood cancer indications.
Collectively, these presentations highlight AbbVie's continued focus on attacking cancer from inside and outside the cell, supported by sustained investment in its expanding antibody‑drug conjugate (ADC) platform, including Topoisomerase I inhibitor (Top1i)–based ADCs and its T‑cell engager (TCE) portfolio.
"Our oncology pipeline is intentionally designed to address the complexity and heterogeneity of cancer biology through a diversified portfolio of differentiated therapies spanning multiple modalities," said Daejin Abidoye, M.D., vice president, therapeutic area head, oncology, solid tumor and hematology. "The data we are presenting at ASCO reflect the strength of this strategy, including continued momentum with our ADC programs in solid tumors and validation of immune-based approaches, such as etentamig, being investigated as a next-generation TCE in multiple myeloma. These results underscore our commitment to advancing assets with distinct scientific approaches aimed to address critical unmet patient needs."
Key findings presented include:
