Biopharmaceuticals

Monoclonal antibodies, ADCs, bispecifics, gene/cell therapies.

Biologics now account for the majority of new molecular entity revenue, led by an exploding ADC pipeline (trastuzumab deruxtecan, datopotamab deruxtecan, sacituzumab govitecan) and a new generation of T-cell engagers including teclistamab, talquetamab, and tarlatamab. WCPD 2027 will cover next-generation ADC linker-payload chemistry, dual-payload and bispecific ADCs, and the rapid maturation of in-vivo CAR-T using LNP-delivered mRNA. Sessions will also address the anti-amyloid mAb class (lecanemab, donanemab) and reimbursement barriers, biosimilar uptake and interchangeability, allogeneic and iPSC-derived cell therapies, and the first AAV gene therapies entering broad use (Hemgenix, Elevidys, Roctavian).

Focus areas
  • ADC platform expansion: linker-payload chemistry, dual payloads
  • T-cell engagers: teclistamab, talquetamab, tarlatamab, blinatumomab
  • In-vivo CAR-T via LNP-mRNA and engineered AAV
  • Anti-amyloid mAbs: lecanemab, donanemab, ARIA management
  • Biosimilar interchangeability and Humira/Stelara market dynamics
  • AAV gene therapy: Hemgenix, Elevidys, Roctavian, Zolgensma
  • Allogeneic and iPSC-derived off-the-shelf cell therapies
