Three ADCs: Mylotarg, Besponda and Lumoxiti have improved overall survival and event=free survival as well as reduced relapse in 3 types of Leukaemia: AML, ALL and HCL, respectively. Lessons from these three SOC successful ADCs should guide other new ADCs in addressing the ADC-related off target toxicity due to the cytotoxic payload that limits their therapeutic index by using the successful approach of administrating lower doses in a fractionated regimen over time in separate days of the cycle to reduce the severity and frequency of the ADC-related serious toxicities that include ocular damage, long-term peripheral neuropathy and hepatic toxicity etc.
