This month the Physiomics team attended the 14th Annual World ADC Event in London on 13th and 14th of March 2024, Europe’s definitive Antibody-Drug Conjugate meeting, attended by 600+ experts from the field. It was a great event to meet with leaders of the field and learn about the trends and lessons in this exciting and growing industry. In particular to discuss where quantitative pharmacology and PK/PD modelling expertise can help to inform and de-risk development, in areas such as;
Discovery:
Model impact of ADC design, including properties such as binding affinity to target, payload release rate, elimination rate, half-life, DAR etc. on payload delivery to the tumour, to inform selection of your lead candidate
Pre-clinical/Translation:
Predict human PK & PD to select FIH dose and understand optimal dose range in the clinic
Clinical development;
Understand exposure-response relationships in both safety and efficacy for all components of the ADC (total antibody, ADC, free payload)
Alter dosing schedule to reduce toxicity
Define dosing strategies for specific patient populations or sub-groups
