Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) have made significant advancements in cancer treatment, particularly for solid tumors. The bystander effect of ADCs, where cytotoxic payloads released by antibodies diffuse and kill nearby tumor cells, is a crucial mechanism, particularly in heterogeneous tumors where not all cells express the target antigen. This effect can enhance ADC efficacy, especially when …Read More >

Antibody‒drug conjugates (ADCs), which combine the advantages of monoclonal antibodies with precise targeting and payloads, show great potential as cancer therapies.  However, primary and secondary resistance is frequently observed.  The successful development of next generation ADCs necessitates the establishment of tumor models that address the mechanism of action underlying this resistance. At the 2025 Festival …Read More >

From April 25 to 30, 2025, the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), one of the largest and longest-standing cancer research conferences in the world, will be held in Chicago. At this year’s AACR meeting, WuXi Biology has been selected to present several posters detailing latest scientific insights, covering a range …Read More >

Approximately 20-40% of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients experience relapsed or refractory disease after initial treatment with R-CHOP (a combination therapy regimen for DLBCL that combines chemotherapy drugs with rituximab). Polatuzumab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) used to treat DLBCL, both in first-line treatment and for relapsed or refractory cases. At the 2025 …Read More >

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), exemplified by HER2-targeted Enhertu and TROP2-targeted Trodelvy, have demonstrated significant therapeutic potential in cancers. However, a subset of patients remains refractory to ADC treatment.  WuXi AppTec contributed to a research article which demonstrated that excessive cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) can form a fibrotic barrier within a tumor microenvironment, impeding the tissue uptake of …Read More >

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) hold great promise as targeted cancer therapeutics, but their complex structure poses significant development and safety challenges for project teams.  In our latest webinar, experts discuss methodologies for evaluating ADC efficacy, resistance, and immunogenicity that address both antibody-specific and payload-specific mechanisms through various multi-dimensional assays. This webinar offers a comprehensive perspective on …Read More >
