Abstract

VAR2CSA-drug conjugates for targeting and inhibiting the growth of cancer cells that have developed resistance to a platinum drug and the use of the conjugates in the treatment of platinum drug-resistant cancers. VAR2CSA-drug conjugates (VDCs) comprise a VAR2CSA polypeptide that is capable of binding to oncofetal chondroitin sulfate (ofCS) and one or more toxins having anti-cancer activity conjugated to the VAR2CSA polypeptide, either directly or via a linker.
