Comprehensive ADC in vitro Characterization of the Trop2-Directed ADC Dato-DXd

Thorough ADC in vitro characterization sets the stage for successful ADC discovery and development. Our teams are equipped to understand each component’s contribution to binding, structure, stability and payload release to ensure progression of the most robust ADC candidates.

ADC in vitro Services Demonstrated in the Case Study

In our case study, we utilize the Trop2-binding ADC Dato-DXd as an example of how Pharmaron integrates biophysics, biology, structural biology and bioanalysis to reveal ADC mechanism and behavior. Our clients utilize in vitro assays to avoid advancing compounds with suboptimal stability, poor intracellular delivery, or unchecked Fc-related immunotoxicities.

The following attributes of Dato-DXd were characterized:

  • Target engagement and internalization
  • Linker stability and payload release
  • Efficacy via 2D cytotoxicity assays, PDX-derived organoids and bystander killing  assays
  • Fc-effector binding and function
  • Structure of the antibody-Trop2 complex
