Pfizer Presents the Opening Keynote at the SMi’s ADC Conference 2018
London, United Kingdom, November 29, 2017 --(PR.com)-- SMi’s global panel of speakers will strengthen your knowledge in key topics such as high potent ingredients, ADC payloads, PK-PD technological advancements, warheads and site selectivity, immune-oncological combination therapies and fragment drug conjugates.
Industry News:
Pfizer received FDA approval for Mylotarg™ (Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin), in 2000 the only approved antibody-drug conjugate for newly diagnosed and relapsed or refractory CD33-positive acute myeloid leukemia. It has been recently announced that earlier this year, Pfizer resubmitted a biologics license application (BLA) for Mylotarg™ on June 11, 2017. The firm announced the FDA's Oncologic Drug Advisory Committee (ODAC) voted that clinical results demonstrated a favourable beneficial risk for the drug. http://bit.ly/2hOSpE1
Another anitobody-drug conjugate which was also approved earlier this year is, Besponsa (Inotuzumab Ozogamicin). Beponsa is an ADC comprised of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting CD22, a cell surface antigen expressed on cancer cells, linked to a cytotoxic agent. The approval is based on the results of the phase III INO-VATE acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) trial involving 326 patients with relapsed or refractory ALL, which showed that inotuzumab outperformed current standards of care. http://bit.ly/2zeQr6L
Pfizer is using its understanding of the biology of cancer to explore a number of antibody-linker-cytotoxin combinations and build proprietary ADC platforms, to develop a diverse ADC toolkit.
Event Spotlight:
Hear more from Pfizer in an opening key note address on new advancements in next-generation ADC development when SMi welcome the expertise of Alison Betts, ADC Scientist next April.
With a focus on modelling and simulation, Alison will provide attendees with exclusive insight sorrounding key developments in Kadcyla, a HER-2 ADC approved in 2013; PK/PD methodologies for efficacy and safety differentiation; and a proposed mechanistic target mediated drug disposition model.
For those looking to attend there is currently a £400 early-bird saving, ending December 15th.
