Prelude and AbCellera jump on the ADC train with partnership


Prelude Therapeutics and AbCellera have partnered to jointly discover, develop, and commercialise antibody-drug conjugate candidates (ADCs) for cancer treatment.

The collaboration leverages Prelude’s expertise in targeted protein degradation, medicinal chemistry, and clinical development and AbCellera’s antibody discovery and development engine to generate novel precision ADCs.

ADCs have been identified as a key innovation area by GlobalData, with multiple companies investing in these therapies. The most recent company to join this trend was MSD (Merck & Co), which signed a collaboration agreement with Daiichi Sankyo to develop and market three ADCs last month.

GlobalData is the parent company of Pharmaceutical Technology.

Prelude will be responsible for the clinical development and global commercialisation, whilst AbCellera will lead the manufacturing activities for the ADCs. AbCellera will also have the option to co-promote the ADCs in the US, as per the 1 November press release.
