Modifying chemistry of ADCs, such as through adding polar groups to increase lipophilicity is a separate approach that helps improve ADC pharmacokinetics and tolerability @mitkochinstitute.bsky.social #KIsymposium

Different toxicities can appear with better linkers- indicating a need to better understand the biology of ADCs, as well as improve in other ways to mitigate this toxicity @mitkochinstitute.bsky.social #KIsymposium
