Next-Gen ADCs as Precision Weapon Against Cancer Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) are emerging as a crucial frontier in targeted cancer care. Although the first ADC was approved in 2000, the space has experienced a renaissance in recent times. Major pharmaceutical players like Novartis and Pfizer, including startups, are announcing deals in this space almost every day. Within the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, China stands at the forefront of ADC drug development. GlobalData reports that numerous domestic companies in China are actively shifting their focus towards the creation of pioneering ADC-based treatment options, particularly for solid tumours like breast, gastric, and bladder cancer. When we observe World Cancer Day on February 4, we explore the promising world of next-gen ADCs, exploring advancements and unravelling the advantages they offer compared to other therapies like cell and gene therapies.

Can Knowledge Graphs Revolutionise Pharma R&D?

In life sciences, the adoption of new standards such as Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) and Analysis Data Model (ADAM) is proving critical for efficient and effective data management and sharing. SDTM provides a new way of organising human clinical and nonclinical study data tabulations, which is required for data submission to regulatory bodies like the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) Japan, while ADAM defines dataset and metadata standards for clinical trial statistical analyses, ensuring efficient generation, replication, and review of data. The Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) 360 is another important initiative that aims to implement standards as linked metadata to support metadata-driven automation across the entire clinical research data lifecycle, making it easier for researchers to analyse and share their findings. The digital transformation of pharma industry regulatory processes, hence, has started to make data a key tool. However, with the increasing volume and complexity of data generated in drug discovery and clinical research, life sciences R&D practitioners need better ways of organising, structuring and exploiting their data, at scale.
