Welcome to the 3rd Next-Generation Conjugates Summit

This was the only event that explored novel design concepts, key translational and clinical development challenges, and addressed challenging CMC roadblocks of the next generation of formats and payloads.

This was the only opportunity to hear the latest successes and advancements in the novel conjugates space, with 35+ exclusive presentations, included:

  • AstraZeneca discussing their exploration in the design and preclinical activity of their bispecific EGFR-MET targeted ADC
  • Dyne Therapeutics shares their potential to deliver transformative antibody-oligonucleotide conjugate therapy for DM1
  • VincerX Pharma announcing successful Phase I clinical trial results including the determination of dose and schedule for SMDCs.

The 2024 meeting was split into a Discovery and Development track which explored novel design concepts and the progression of a novel conjugate into and through the clinic. We also discussed a  how novel conjugates can be utilized beyond cancer in our Non-Oncology Focus Day!

What Our 2024 Said:

‘With the explosion of antibody conjugates with different payloads, this is a terrific opportunity for colleagues to come together and share challenges and learnings across different modalities’ - Amgen

‘This year’s format with separate discovery and development tracks is particularly exciting. While equally important, it should provide a unique opportunity to focus, connect and share insights on new formats, payloads, linkers, targets and combinations thereof – and collaborate with fellow innovators in the space!’ - Dantari

Several 1st generation conjugates have been approved and presently are being used in clinic. They demonstrated significant advantages compared to older therapies and significantly extended survival for many patients. However, they all suffer from dose-limiting toxicities and rarely result in durable remission. The promise of next-generation conjugates is more targeted approach with better efficacy and safety, which is a very exciting prospect.’  - Alpha Cancer Technologies

'I’m excited to share our developing stories with worldwide experts, learn from them about novel technologies, and look for potential collaborations.' - Coherent Biopharma

‘The Next-Generation conjugates is a rapidly evolving field, with many exciting developments ongoing that could have a big impact on many patients lives. Therefore, I am thrilled to team up with the world experts in the Conjugation field and hear update the latest developments’ - Araris Biotech
