Harnessing the Power of ADC Payloads

Diversifying ADC Payloads as Warheads for Overcoming Tumor Resistance, with Optimized Efficacy, Potency, & Differentiated Mechanisms of Action

As the ADC field becomes increasingly crowded with TOPO-1 and tubulin-based payloads, the pressure is on to identify differentiated mechanisms that can overcome resistance, improve therapeutic index, and deliver meaningful clinical advantage. Recent acquisitions, partnerships, and investment activity have highlighted growing industry demand for next-generation payload innovation, but significant challenges remain around potency, safety, translation, and clinical success.

The 3rd ADC Payload Summit is the only dedicated forum focused exclusively on payload innovation, bringing together 70+ leaders across payload chemistry, discovery biology, translational science, and R&D to tackle these challenges head-on. Through deep-dive workshops, case studies, panel discussions, and the Brand-New Curated Matchmaking Roundtables, attendees will explore novel payload classes, dual-payload strategies, resistance mechanisms, translational modelling, and emerging approaches beyond traditional cytotoxicity.

It’s exciting to see and learn about new and emerging ADC payloads!

Despite a long history of ADCs, the payloads at the clinical stage are mostly limited to a small number of cytotoxic molecules. Recently we have seen rapid expansion of payload classes used in preclinical ADC research. Research groups sharing experiences and learnings from each program will greatly benefit the field as we continue to explore various payload mechanism of action
