Services & Solutions

One Stop Payload-Linker Services


WuXi XDC offers comprehensive and integrated discovery, CMC development, and cGMP manufacturing of ADC payload, ADC linker, and payload-linker chemical intermediates for Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) and broader conjugate therapeutics.

 

In addition to our well-established ADC service capabilities, we have been continuously expanding to new modalities, including peptide and oligonucleotide based bioconjugates, like to support a broader range of next-generation targeted therapies.


Why Partner with WuXi XDC

 

One-Stop Platform

An all-in-one platform integrates mAbs, payload-linkers, ADC DSs, and DPs from discovery to commercial manufacturing.

CMC Speed

The industry’s leading payload-linker CMC service timeline features < 9 months to IND and < 16 months for late-phase development.

Extensive Expertise

Our payload-linker specialists average over a decade of focused experience, delivering rapid development through deep technical insight.

Innovative Payload-Linker Technologies

Novel payload and linker platforms deliver advanced payload-linker solutions engineered for optimal safety, efficacy, and flexibility at every stage of development.
 

 


From ADC to XDC: Expertise in New Modalities

 

Singe-source accelerate molecule modification, route design, synthesis, and GMP production for chelators and chelator-linkers. Example chelators include NOTAM, NOTA, and DOTA.

Examples of various chelators offered by WuXi XDC: NOTAM; NOTA; DOTA; TETA; HBED; DTPA

R&D-scale oligonucleotide synthesis and larger-scale non-GMP/GMP manufacturing along with full process and analytical development and QC. Screening of oligo-antibody conjugate combinations is also available for AOC developers.

Liquid/solid phase peptide synthesis, along with full analytical method development and non-GMP & GMP manufacturing is available for the CMC development and production of peptide drug conjugates.
