A technological trend to watch

Antibody conjugates, including ADCs and radiolabeled antibodies, combine the targeting precision of antibodies with the potency of highly cytotoxic drugs or radionuclides. Over the last decade, this modality has moved from proof-of-concept to a major class of anti-cancer agents, with around 15 ADCs now approved worldwide and more than one hundred in clinical development. KnowMade’s Cancer & Antibody Conjugates patent report provides a comprehensive mapping of inventions related to ADCs and radioimmunoconjugates for all cancer types, hematological and solid cancers. It highlights the key patent owners, IP newcomers and their strategic IP positions that will shape the next generation of targeted oncology therapies.
