What We Saw at the ADC Toxicity Summit in 2025?
As ADCs advance across new targets, payloads, and indications, the opportunity to redefine how we predict, prevent, and manage toxicity has never been greater. Rather than seeing toxicity as a barrier, today’s leading drug developers are using it as a springboard to improve preclinical modelling, patient selection, ADC design, and clinical decision-making.
The 3rd ADC Toxicity Summit was the only industry-led meeting dedicated to advancing ADC safety by connecting toxicologists, pharmacologists, translational scientists, and clinical developers to turn toxicology insight into therapeutic advantage.
With insights from influential leaders such as AbbVie, AstraZeneca, Daiichi Sankyo, Genentech, Iksuda, J&J, MacroGenics and more, this was your opportunity for in-depth discussions and world class presentations on maximizing the translational relevance of in vivo and in vitro studies, mitigating toxicities to extend clinical dose escalations, optimizing dosing regimens, navigating regulatory expectations for toxicity models and more…
