Conventional conjugation methods result in heterogeneous ADC products due to a wide drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) distribution. Over the last decade, many site-specific conjugation technologies have been developed to address this issue, yet the improved homogeneity usually comes with a cost and other technical challenges. To address these concerns, WuXi XDC developed the novel WuXiDARx™ technology platform, featuring a myriad of benefits for ADC development and manufacturing. This webinar will outline those key elements that result in ADCs generated with ideal developability characteristics and strong in vitro and in vivo profiles when compared to reference ADCs generated using other conjugation approaches. The enhanced preclinical advantages of the WuXiDARx ADCs may lead to better clinical efficacy and safety and thus far, six ADC molecules generated using one of the WuXiDARx platforms (WuXiDAR4™) have finished large-scale GMP runs and entered phase I clinical trials. Multiple case studies and data comparing the ADC quality attribute profiles of WuXiDARx-generated ADCs will be presented.
