概要
Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) pose unique challenges for first-in-human (FIH) dose selection because of their structural complexity, narrow therapeutic margins, and increasing regulatory scrutiny. As the ADC field continues to evolve, sponsors need to combine translational science, mechanistic modeling, and regulatory considerations to establish safe and informative starting dose ranges and enable a successful transition into clinical development.
In this webinar, Certara experts Fran Brown, Piet van der Graaf, and Helen-Marie Dunmore will review the current ADC landscape, highlight key learnings from recent successes and failures, and discuss best-practice approaches for FIH dose range selection. The session will illustrate how mechanistic modeling methods, including physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) and quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP), can be used together with translational PK and PD to support the development of regulatory-ready FIH packages.
Participants will gain practical insight into how to align scientific rigor with nonclinical regulatory expectations in order to mitigate early development risk, enable confident first-in-human entry, and improve dose selection decisions for ADC programs.
