Antibody-drug conjugates, GLP-1 receptor agonists and cell/gene therapies propelled a big increase in clinical trial registrations in China last year, but why do sponsors sometimes remain reluctant to actually start studies?

To date, nine major pairs of antibody and payload-linker platform makers based in China are making a concerted approach for ADC research and development, research by Scrip reveals.

Among the newer modalities to tackle cancer, antibody-drug conjugates are fast emerging to rival targeted antibodies and China is fast emerging as a world class source of innovation in the field, as evidenced by a string of recent deals.
