Advancing Antibody–Drug Conjugates: Precision Bioanalytical Services for Every Development Stage

KCAS Bio supports the development and characterization of Antibody–Drug Conjugates (ADCs) by providing comprehensive bioanalytical services. This includes customized solutions based on our LBA and Hybrid LC-MS/MS expertise, ensuring precise evaluation of ADC quantitation to assess efficacy, stability, and safety across preclinical and clinical development stages.

Antibody Drug Conjugate Technologies

KCAS Bio offers a range of advanced technologies to support ADC development including:

Bioanalytical Expertise:
Advanced platforms for quantifying total antibody and intact ADCs, evaluating payload release and quantifying drug-to-antibody ratios (DAR).

Mass Spectrometry:
LC-MS/MS methods for accurate and precise quantitation of payloads, total antibody and ADCs.

Ligand-Binding Assays:
Customized immunoassays to assess immunogenicity and quantitation of total antibody and ADCs.

Regulatory-Ready Solutions:
Compliance with GLP/GCP for submission-ready data packages.

ADC technologies include:

LC-MS
Hybrid LC-MS/MS
LBA (ELISA, MSD)

KCAS Bio conducts a variety of specialized tests to support the development and evaluation of Antibody–Drug Conjugates (ADCs). These include:

  • Payload Analysis: Quantitation and characterization of the small molecule cytotoxic payload, including its release profile.
  • Intact ADC Analysis: Assessment of the stability and integrity of the ADC in biological matrices.
  • Pharmacokinetics (PK): Delivery of data for modeling the pharmacokinetics of the ADC in test subjects. Non-compartmental PK analysis to determine the ADC’s distribution, metabolism, and elimination profiles.
  • Immunogenicity Testing: Detection of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) to assess immune response risks.
  • Stability Testing: Evaluation of ADC stability under various storage and physiological conditions.
  • Drug-to-Antibody Ratio (DAR) Analysis: Precise measurement of the average number of payload molecules conjugated to each antibody.
