8:25 am Chairperson’s Opening Remarks
Advancing ADCs in Combination – Showcasing Ground Breaking Combination Studies Involving Best-in Class ADCs
8:30 am Evaluating the Importance of Independent Action in ADC Combination Trials
Synopsis
*Virtual*
- Highlighting how immuno oncology drugs are failing at an unprecedented rate -perhaps because too much reliance has been placed on preclinical thinking about synergy
- Based on the mathematics of independent action, synergy has not been seen in any immune oncology registration trials to date
- To progress the development of combinations of ADC and PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitors the field must adapt more rigorous mathematic thinking about combination results
9:00 am ADC Therapeutic Window Enhancement Based on the AJICAP Chemical Site-Specific Conjugation Platform
Synopsis
- Examining how site-specific technologies are being employed in many of the next-generation ADCs due to enhancement of clinically relevant biological properties observed in various preclinical studies
- Demonstrating a novel method of affinity peptide mediated regiodivergent antibody functionalization that enables the synthesis of ADCs from native IgGs in a tunable and atom-precise manner
- Highlighting how both thiol-based and azide-based site-specific ADCs produced by “AJICAP” technology demonstrated an expansion of their therapeutic index compared with stochastic technology
9:30 am Polatuzumab Vedotin: Late Stage Clinical Development to Approval
Synopsis
- Providing an overview of the late stage clinical development of polatuzumab vedotin
- Discussing rational combination strategy in R/R DLBCL leading to approval of polatuzumab vedotin + BR
- Sharing the rational combination strategy in 1L DLBCL leading to positive results of the Phase III POLARIX with polatuzumab vedotin + R-CHP
10:00 am From Concept to Market: Accelerating ADC Development with WuXi XDC’s Fully Integrated Discovery Research and CMC Platforms
Synopsis
*Virtual*
- One-stop discovery services platform including mab discovery and protein generation, payload linker synthesis, conjugation research and in vitro, in vivo testing
- Fully integrated ADC CMC development with industry leading DNA to IND timeline of 15 months; mab/payload-linker/conjugation DS & DP all by in-house team and facilities
- Vast ADC experience with 230+ discovery projects, 65+ CMC projects, 25+ INDs
10:30 am Accelerated Pathway from Antibody to ADC
Synopsis
The pathway from antibody to ADCs is complex, resource intensive, and time-consuming. There are numerous platform-based solutions including various classes of payloads, differing linker chemistries, and conjugation technologies to evaluate. All of these can seem like a minefield. We will demonstrate how having high-quality material, expertise and the right technology can accelerate your ADC programs.
