Training Schedule (2 December, 2024)

10:00 - 15:00 PM US EST

Introduction:

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), also known as magic bullets for cancer, are the most rapidly advancing therapeutics in treating cancers.   There is an increasing appreciation of the high potential of ADCs for autoimmune diseases. However, unlike small molecule drug or antibody therapeutics, ADCs are complex molecules consisting of three components:

(1) The targeting antibody with high affinity for tumor-specific or dominant antigen

(2) The anticancer payload, typically a very potent cytotoxic drug

(3) The cleavable/uncleavable linker connecting the payload to antibody.

Although 13 ADCs are approved for treating cancers, an increasing number of ADCs are also being terminated in clinical development due to poor efficacy, limited durability of response, and, most importantly, unacceptable toxicities.. The training course will discuss intelligent strategies for creating best-in-class ADCs, including target choice, linker selection, conjugation methods, and preclinical /clinical efficacy evaluation.

Learning objectives:

  • A better understanding of ADCs in cancer and autoimmune diseases
  • Understanding the biology and chemistry behind ADCs
  • Preclinical and clinical development of ADCs, including CMC challenges
