ADC Therapeutics is a clinical-stage oncology drug discovery and development company focused on advancing highly potent and targeted antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) for the treatment of hematological cancers and solid tumors. Our ADCs are developed using the latest-generation pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) dimer technology providing a superior therapeutic index compared to first- generation PBD ADCs in preclinical studies. PBD dimers are very potent toxins that actively kill cancer cells and have a differentiated mechanism of action than warheads commonly used in other ADCs.

Kolltan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company founded in 2007 and based in New Haven, Connecticut. The company focuses on the discovery and development of novel antibody-based drugs targeting receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. Its lead product candidate, KTN3379, is an antibody targeting the ErbB3 RTK, currently undergoing Phase I clinical trials for advanced solid tumors. Additionally, Kolltan is developing KTN0158, a KIT RTK inhibitor aimed at treating neurofibromatosis type 1 and other inflammatory conditions, as well as an antibody-drug conjugate known as KIT-ADC for oncology applications. The company also engages in various research programs targeting RTKs, building on foundational discoveries made in collaboration with Dr. Joseph Schlessinger's laboratory at Yale University, which elucidate the molecular mechanisms linked to RTK activation and oncogenic mutations.

Spirogen is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel, sequence-selective DNA minor groove-binding molecules for cancer treatment. Founded in 2000, the company specializes in modifying naturally occurring antibiotics known as pyrrolobenzodiazepines (PBDs) to create therapeutic agents. Spirogen's key technologies include a C2 unsaturated pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer and a hydrolysis-activated pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer, as well as an achiral analog of duocarmycin. These compounds are designed to bind and cross-link specific sites of DNA in cancer cells without distorting the DNA helix, offering a targeted approach to therapy. With a workforce of 18 employees, Spirogen operates as a privately funded entity.
