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 >

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, and development of next generation ADCs necessitates the establishment of resistant tumor models.  WuXi AppTec offers validated, Enhertu-induced resistant tumor models to support project teams focused …Read More >

In our latest AACR poster, WuXi AppTec scientists characterize the therapeutic potential of the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) polatuzumab vedotin across a panel of established, in-house diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. Among our panel of lymphoma PDX models, three represent the germinal center B-cell (GCB) subtype. The authors show that 50% of …Read More >

In this week’s installment of our “How Does It Work?” video series, we explore Antibody Drug Conjugates. Monoclonal antibodies are highly versatile molecules that we can modify to generate new and improved cancer therapies. Here we have a type of modified antibody, known as an antibody drug conjugate, or ADC. The ADC contains two antigen …Read More >
