Companies to Watch: Antibody Drug Conjugates

Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are emerging as a powerful platform for delivering highly targeted doses of oncology and potentially other drugs to patients with a minimum of side effects and toxicity.

Large pharmas are anxious to partner with or acquire ADC makers to access this technology — witness Pfizer’s $43 billion acquisition of Seagen Inc., AbbVie’s $10 billion acquisition of ImmunoGen and J&J’s $2 billion acquisition of Ambrx Biopharma – as they seek to replenish their oncology pipelines with next-generation targeted treatments.

The just-published Companies to Watch report from Clarivate identifies promising and as-yet under-the-radar ADC innovators. This report will highlight those picks and explore how ADC innovators and large pharmas alike can realize the greatest benefit for patients from this exciting technology.
