Tuesday 9th September 2025
Novel & Dual Payloads: Assessing Linker Conjugation Technologies That Encourage Flexibility in Payloads
4:00 pm
  • Evaluating the right ratios, the advantages of releasing drugs in specific ratios, and which combination of drugs make sense when considering dual payloads
  • Discussing how novel payloads hold promise to overcome drug resistance
  • Advancing cytoxic or immune-stimulating payloads with novel MoAs
Wednesday 10th September 2025
Increasing Tissue Penetration & Limiting Immunogenicity: Differentiating Through Novel Conjugate Design
1:40 pm
  • Targeting proteins expressed in a larger number of cancers versus receptors predominantly expressed in solid tumor subsets
  • Increasing tissue penetration propensity to achieve more significant internalization and intracellular exposure to the payload with smaller proteins 
  • Leveraging reduced screening cycles required to optimize linker chemistry with smaller proteins, and modulatory to conjugate different payload types

ADC Deal-Making: Will Success Lead to More Success?
2:10 pm
  • Discussing opportunity for and examples of creative deal structures across ADCs 
  • For payloads: Do you need the full ADC payload for a deal?
  • For linkers: What drives deals with different types of linkers? 
  • For target discovery: What are the differences in deal structure versus linkers and payloads?
  • Sharing guidance to progress from a research collaboration to a licensing agreement, and deal structure including direction for upfront milestones and royalties
