Types of in vitro and in vivo studies for characterization of ADC ADME

MoleculeADME Data
ADCaIn vitro stability in plasma or serum from animals and humans
ADCaPK in pharmacology and toxicology species
ADCbAnimal (rodent) ADME: PK, excretion, and metabolism
ADCIdentification of circulating metabolites formed from the released drug in patients
DrugRodent PK
DrugPlasma protein binding across species
DrugIn vitro characterization of metabolites formed from the released drug (safety species and human)
DrugReaction phenotyping
DrugPassive/active (uptake or efflux) transport (as substrate)
DrugP450 inhibition and induction
  • a Analytes that could be measured as appropriate include Tab, ADC, and unconjugated drug.

  • b This evaluation is recommended to be conducted with an ADC bearing a radiolabel on the drug.
