Surge in China’s antibody-drug conjugates development

27 September 2024

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a significant advancement in cancer treatment, particularly within China's burgeoning oncology sector. With a little over 100 ADC candidates in various stages of development, Chinese companies lead the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

As cancer remains a significant health challenge, strategic collaborations with major pharmaceutical companies are essential for advancing research and enhancing therapeutic options, positioning Chinese firms as key players in the evolving oncology landscape, says pharma analytics company GlobalData.

According to GlobalData’s Pharmaceutical Intelligence Center, of the 124 ADCs (Phase I, II and III) currently in the pipeline for oncology across Australia, China, Japan, and South Korea, China has 102 ADCs in development, accounting for 82% of the ADC pipeline in large APAC markets.
