Over the past decade, site-specific chemical conjugation has emerged as a promising strategy to produce antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in the field of oncology [1]. Daiichi-Sankyo's chemical conjugation method, which uses high drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) technology, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as the first site-specific ADC (fam-trastuzumab-deruxtecan-nxki; Enhertu® | Daiichi Sankyo and AstraZeneca).

Lantern Pharma has signed a research collaboration with Bielefeld University for the development of novel antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) with high therapeutic and anti-tumor potential. The partners will be using Lantern's proprietary Response Algorithm for Drug Positioning and Rescue (RADR®) artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) platform , to rapidly develop novel cryptophycin-antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), which represent an exciting class of potent and highly targeted drug candidates.

Shanghai-based biopharmaceutical company Antengene, confirmed that ATG-022, a Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) antibody drug conjugate (ADC) being developed by the company, has been granted two Orphan Drug Designations (ODD) consecutively by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer. 

Biologics are changing the way we treat disease, affecting where companies invest, and, most importantly, impacting patients’ lives. Last year, nearly half of the 37 new drugs approved by the U.S. Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) were biologics, while its partner agency—the U.S. [1] Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER)—approved a dozen additional products. [2] These approvals span many modalities and cover a range of conditions, including many rare and hard-to-treat diseases.
