Our Science

Advancing antibody drug conjugates with a novel class of PBD dimersADC Therapeutics’ proprietary ADCs are highly targeted drug constructs that combine monoclonal antibodies specific to surface tumor targets with a novel class of highly potent PBD-dimer toxins.PBD dimers do not distort the DNA structure, which makes them invisible to repair mechanisms and allows the cross-links to persist within the DNA. Unlike earlier generation PBD chemistry, ADC Therapeutics’ proprietary PBD dimers are not a substrate for multi-drug resistance proteins—even in hard-to-treat tumors.Our PBD-dimer technology: A novel approach to hematologic cancers and solid tumors

  • 1The antibody drug conjugate (ADC) binds to a specific tumor cell surface antigen and is internalized1,2
  • 2The potent pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) dimer toxin is released inside the cell, where it then creates a covalent cross-link between the strands of the DNA double helix2,3
  • 3Because these cross-links do not distort the DNA structure, it is hypothesized that they remain invisible to repair mechanisms and can covertly persist to interrupt cell division and cause tumor cell death1-3

Our Pipeline

A robust pipeline of investigational ADCs for the treatment of hematological cancers and solid tumorsADCT has multiple PBD-based ADCs in ongoing clinical trials and numerous preclinical ADCs in development.Some of the agents represented in this pipeline chart are investigational. Efficacy and safety have not yet been established.

* LOTIS-6 trial currently on hold

LONCASTUXIMAB TESIRINE-lpyl 

Loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl is an ADC composed of a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to human CD19 and is conjugated through a linker to a PBD–dimer toxin. CD19 is a clinically validated target for the treatment of B-cell malignancies. 

CAMIDANLUMAB TESIRINE 

Camidanlumab tesirine, ADCT’s second lead candidate, has demonstrated significant clinical activity in heavily pretreated patients with Hodgkin lymphoma. Based on its mechanism targeting CD25/regulatory T cells, camidanlumab tesirine is also demonstrating potential in the treatment of solid tumors.
 

adct-602 

ADCT-602 is an ADC composed of a monoclonal antibody that binds to CD22 conjugated to a PBD-dimer toxin. CD22 is highly expressed on most malignant B-cells, including expression in more than 90% of patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). ADCT-602 is being evaluated in a phase I/II clinical trial in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell ALL. 

adct-601 

ADCT-601 is an ADC composed of a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to human AXL (licensed from BerGenBio), conjugated using Glycoconnect™ technology (licensed from Synaffix BV) to a linker with a PBD-dimer toxin. AXL is highly overexpressed in many solid tumors and hematological malignancies. ADCT-601 is being evaluated in a phase 1 clinical trial in patients with selected advanced solid tumors.
adct-901 

ADCT-901 is an ADC composed of a humanized monoclonal antibody (3A4) directed against human KAAG1 and conjugated through a cathepsin-cleavable linker to SG3199, a PBD–dimer cytotoxin. KAAG1 has high expression in tumors with high unmet medical need, while its expression on healthy tissue is very restricted. ADCT-901 is being developed for the treatment of advanced solid tumors with high unmet medical needs, including platinum resistant ovarian cancer and triple negative breast cancer. 

adct-701 

ADCT-701 is an ADC composed of a humanized monoclonal antibody (HuBa-1-3D) directed against human DLK-1 and conjugated through a cathepsin-cleavable linker to SG3199, a PBD-dimer cytotoxin. DLK-1 is an attractive novel tumor target for ADC development as it is expressed in adults in several tumors. ADCT-701 is being developed for the treatment of advanced solid tumors with high unmet medical needs, neuroblastoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and small cell lung cancer.
