First Online:
Part of the Cancer Drug Discovery and Development book series (CDD&D)

Abstract

In the chapter, we review new conjugation technologies from the standpoints of process development and manufacturability and identify potential process hotspots. We briefly review recent progress in conventional conjugation methods and assess, for instance, how new linkers impact process. We also consider antibody modeling and its untapped potential to help design ADCs. We address outsourcing options and trends and provide an overview of single use technologies. Finally, strategies for efficient early process development to ensure CMC consistency across clinical phases and manufacturing scales and ensure readiness for accelerated regulatory approval paths are discussed.
