Conference Day One

8:00 am Morning Registration & Coffee

8:50 am Chair’s Opening Remarks

Accelerate Progress in ADC Clinical Trials & Balance Safety & Efficacy by Navigating Dose Selection Strategies & Adapting to Project Optimus Frameworks

9:00 am Dose Optimization of Antibody-Drug Conjugates & Exploring the Relevance of Exposure-Response Relationships

  • Salaheldin Hamed Director, Clinical Pharmacology Oncology (Cell Therapy & Biologics), Astellas Pharma

Synopsis

  • Exploring challenges with dose optimization for ADCs
  • Understanding the relevance of PK/PD and exposure-response relationships to dose optimization
  • Case example: Enfortumab vedotin dose optimization and clinical success

9:30 am Application of Dose Modification Strategies in HDP-101-01 FH Trial Guided Through Modelling & Simulation

Synopsis

  • A two-compartment model with linear clearance was applied to describe the PK of the total antibody
  • PKPD modelling and simulation analyses confirmed that dose mitigation strategies reduced the impact of HDP-101 on thrombocytes by dose splitting or administering pre-medication with corticosteroids and antihistamines
  • HDP-101 demonstrated an excellent safety profile up to 112.5 ug/kg/cycle dosing where the RP2D is anticipated

10:00 am Morning Break & Speed Networking

Synopsis

This is your opportunity to get face-to-face with many of the brightest minds in ADC development who are working in DMPK, PK/PD, pharmacometrics and clinical pharmacology.

11:00 am Surrogate Endpoints in Oncology Dose Optimization Strategy

  • Hongmei Xu Vice President, Head of Quantitative Pharmacology, Bicycle Therapeutics

Synopsis

  • Challenges in dose optimization for oncology narrow therapeutic index compounds
  • What surrogate endpoints might be helpful for dose optimization when look at early (less mature) efficacy and safety data?

11:30 am Application of Clinical Pharmacology Analyses Across ADCs with a Common Payload

Synopsis

  • Using shared payload PK/PD to guide dose and safety
  • Applying cross-ADC exposure-response learnings
  • Streamlining development via common modelling

12:00 pm Lunch Break & Networking

Prioritizing Patient Experience through Dosing Type & Clinical Pharmacology Perspectives

  • RAKESH DIXIT CEO & Founder, Bionavigen
  • Hongmei Xu Vice President, Head of Quantitative Pharmacology, Bicycle Therapeutics

1:00 pm Roundtable Discussion: Subcutaneous vs. UV Dosing: Different Approaches Required for Changing Dosing from a Clinician’s Perspective

Synopsis

  • Comparing the patient experience and practical considerations of switching from IV to subcutaneous dosing
  • Understanding how route of administration impacts PK, tolerability, and trial design decisions
  • Exploring what it takes to make the transition between dosing routes work for patients and studies

2:00 pm Afternoon Break & Scientific Poster Session

Synopsis

This is an informal session to help you connect with your peers in a relaxed atmosphere to forge new and beneficial relationships. With an audience of ADC experts working in DMPK, PK/PD, pharmacometrics and clinical pharmacology, you will have the opportunity to display a poster presenting your own work*. Additionally, you will have the chance to review others’ posters displaying cutting-edge research from drug discovery through to exciting clinical trial updates.

Leveraging Mechanistic Modelling & Regulatory Guidance to Enhance Dose Selection & Improve Clinical Outcomes in ADC Development

3:00 pm Utilizing Advances Modelling to Elucidate ADC Drug Delivery: Format, Target Binding, & Payload Prediction

  • Prabhas Jagdale Principal Scientist - Pharmacokinetic Pharmacodynamic Modelling, GlaxoSmithKline

Synopsis

  • Applying cutting-edge models to understand how ADC structure impacts drug delivery and target engagement
  • Predicting payload release and distribution to optimize therapeutic impact and minimize off-target engagement
  • Leveraging modelling insights to refine ADC design and support rational dose selection in clinical development

Employing Quantitative Systems Pharmacology to Encourage Clinical Dosing Success & Aid Trial Design

3:30 pm Exploring the Design of Selectively-Targeted Payloads with Quantitative Systems Pharmacology

  • Eshita Khera Principal Scientist II, Novartis BiomMdical Research

Synopsis

  • There is emerging interest in developing ADCs with selectively-targeted payloads such as protein inhibitors and degraders
  • Empirically or intuitively optimizing the design of such non-traditional ADC is challenging
  • Highlighting some new guiding principles for designing non-traditional ADCs via a deep-dive on degrader antibody conjugate design, guided by vignettes of integrated lab-to-model workflows powered by Quantitative Systems Pharmacology
