Ingo Hartung: Excellent educational talk about ADC design aspects by Rafaele Colombo at AACR25

Ingo Hartung, Executive Director, Head of Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Design at Merck Healthcare, shared a post on X:

“Another excellent educational talk about ADC design aspects at AACR25 by Rafaele Colombo.
Linking payload potency and linker stability to clinical observations. Well, it remains complex to deduce generalizable design principles.
Understanding payload fate is crucial.”Ingo Hartung: Excellent educational talk about ADC design aspects by Rafaele Colombo at AACR25

Paolo Tarantino, Clinical Research Fellow at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, shared this post, adding:

“Debunking 2 myths:
  • More potent payload ≠ better ADC
  • More stable ≠ better ADC
Highly potent payloads have proven to be too toxic. Highly stable ADCs have been found associated with unexpected side effects (eg. ocular).
Balance is key.
Terrific presentation by Raffaele Colombo”
