Antibody-Targeted Precision Medicines: Strategies for Overcoming Development Challenges
Brought to you by WuXi AppTec
Overview

Antibody-targeted therapies—including ADCs, AOCs, and DACs—are reshaping precision medicine by enabling highly selective delivery of potent therapeutic agents. These modalities offer new opportunities in oncology and beyond but present complex challenges in design, conjugation, and optimization. This white paper examines the structural principles and technical hurdles that influence the success of antibody-targeted drugs. It also outlines strategies to mitigate risks and accelerate development.

Key Objectives:
  • Explaining differences between ADC, AOC, and DAC modalities and their therapeutic applications.
  • Identify key challenges in antibody engineering, payload design, and linker selection.
  • Highlight how CRDMO partnerships streamline development and reduce risk.
