ALAMEDA, Calif. and TAIPEI, April 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Acepodia (6976: TT) today announced the presentation of new preclinical data highlighting its proprietary dual-payload antibody-drug conjugate (AD2C) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The data will be featured at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2025, which will take place from April 25 to April 30, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois.
The poster presentation, titled “Development of dual-payload anti-GPC3 antibody-drug conjugate by dual-payload antibody conjugation (AD2C) platform for hepatocellular carcinoma treatment,” showcases the company’s next-generation ADC generated using Acepodia’s AD2C platform. This platform allows for the conjugation of two distinct payloads to a single antibody without the need of antibody engineering or enzymatic conjugation. AD2C, carrying payloads with different mechanisms of action, offer enhanced therapeutic potency by targeting diverse cell populations in heterogeneous tumors or overcoming resistance to single-payload therapy.

“Acepodia’s dual-payload ADC approach is designed to address key limitations of current single-payload therapies,” said Dr. Sonny Hsiao, Chairman and CEO of Acepodia. “By combining targeted delivery with enhanced cytotoxicity, this platform holds promise for more effective treatment of liver cancer and other solid tumors.” AD2C platform provides a novel, antibody-engineering-free approach to generate dual-payload ADCs, offering a potential solution to tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance in cancer treatment.
The company’s AD2C pipeline is part of its broader portfolio of conjugation technologies derived from the laboratory of Nobel Laureate Dr. Carolyn Bertozzi, enabling the site-specific delivery of therapeutic payloads using bioorthogonal click chemistry.
