cBR96-doxorubicin immunoconjugate (BMS-182248/SGN-15; also known as cBR96-Dox) is an antibody-drug conjugate or (ADC) directed to the Lewis-Y antigen designed for the treatment of cancer. The payload is the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin which is connected with a hydrazone linker to cysteine residues of the Lewis-Y specific (chimeric) monoclonal antibody BR96. Following internalization, the hydrazone is hydrolyzed within the acidic environment of target cell endosomes and lysosomes to release active cytotoxic drug.
