🎧 #生技來一刻 S4 EP19：魔術子彈──抗體藥物複合體 Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) ft. 張瑄玶博士 🎧

眾所周知，柯南被稱為是擊敗黑暗組織的銀色子彈，那你想知道生技業的魔術子彈是什麼嗎？

“魔術子彈” (magic bullet) 的概念從二十世紀初期被提出，指藥物針對特定治病微生物或特定細胞攻擊，而幾乎對身體無害。最初是由德國科學家 Ehrlich 提出，他合成的小分子Salvarsan，是首款能專一針對梅毒螺旋菌毒殺的藥物，被認為是第一顆魔術子彈。遺憾的是，在其後 50 年由於技術等種種限制，這領域始終沒有太大的進展，直到 1967 年 ADC 的概念提出、以及之後單株抗體等技術的進展，這領域才慢慢有所突破。即便如此，也一直到了 2000 年，才有首款 ADC 藥物被 FDA 核准，真的是非常漫長的歷史。

抗體藥物複合體 Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC)，是蛋白質抗體和小分子藥物的結合，此技術利用抗體的專一性，將藥物帶至特定區域來殺癌細胞，減少對正常細胞的傷害。ADC 在近幾年發展的很快。2023 年，ADC 藥物的全球銷售額為 100 億美元，預計在 2028 年成長到將近 200 億美元，15% 的年複合成長率非常驚人。

我們在這集的節目中，很榮幸邀請到目前在 AstraZeneca 擔任資深科學家的張瑄玶博士，他與我們分享關於 ADC 的設計與開發流程。如果上述簡史讓你對 ADC 藥物感興趣，那就千萬不能錯過這集訪談！

📢📢📢2024 The 12th BTBA Annual Symposium Panel 3: Bridging the gap: translational science from discovery to patient impact

🏥Transitioning a drug candidate from the preclinical stage to clinical trials marks a thrilling phase in drug development. While promising in vitro, in vivo, and in silico, the real question remains: will it work in humans?

🏥Early-phase clinical trials are costly, often running into millions, yet the failure rate remains high. How can we design effective preclinical studies to better predict clinical trial outcomes? How should we plan early clinical trials to ensure that scientific breakthroughs smoothly translate into marketable drugs, providing more effective and safe treatments for patients?

🏥Join us for an engaging discussion with experts from academia and industry to explore this pivotal stage of drug development! Our panel will feature insights from an industry scientist specializing in clinical pharmacology, a medical director in early clinical development, and a professor with a start-up company spun off from academic research. They will delve into the journey from preclinical research to early-phase clinical trials, highlighting the contributions of various industry functions and academic experiences.

🏥Let’s discover strategies to improve the success rate and make the most of translational science!

🏥將試驗藥物推進到臨床試驗是藥物開發過程中最令人興奮的時刻之一。雖然試驗藥物在體外、體內和電腦模擬中看起來安全也有效、非常有機會帶個病人新的希望，但它在人體的作用是否真的如同預測？

🏥早期臨床試驗成本高昂，通常需要數百萬美元，但失敗率也相當高。我們該如何設計出有效的臨床前研究，以更好的預測臨床試驗的結果？或是要如何規劃早期臨床試驗，以確保科學突破順利轉化為上市藥物、為患者帶來更有效安全的治療？

🏥BTBA 2024 年會邀請您與學術界和業界專家一起探討藥物開發的這一關鍵階段。我們的座談會將邀請到業界的臨床藥理學領域的科學家、醫學總監，以及從學術研究衍生出的初創公司的教授和我們分享他們的見解以及在轉譯醫學中的角色。

🏥讓我們一起深入探討從臨床前研究到早期臨床試驗的過程及挑戰，並更多的臨床前實驗與早期臨床試驗團隊的合作和考量，以提高成功率的策略，充分運用轉譯科學！
