Is this also called SMDC or small molecule drug conjugate? (attaching a small targeting molecule to a drug)? The small molecule could be just one arm of an antibody, or it could be a piece of one arm, or it could be anything that sticks to a target.

It might be the term that the company Endocyte, and only them, is using for this kind of drug

No no, aptamers are just the small molecule, the binding agent, the ligand.
