Martigny, Switzerland. Dijon, France โ Debiopharm Research & Manufacturing S.A. (Debiopharm,ย www.debiopharm.com), a Swiss-based global biopharmaceutical company aiming to cure cancer and infectious diseases, and Oncodesign Services (www.oncodesign-services.com), a leading CRO specialized in drug discovery and preclinical services, announce the execution of a license agreement for the use of the AbYlinkโข technology for preclinical services.
AbYlinkโข is a regio-selective bioconjugation technology ideally suited for preparing conjugates for use in therapeutic and non-invasive diagnostic applications.ย Oncodesign Services will use this cutting-edge technology to prepare antibody chelator conjugates for use in preclinical studies to gain insights into the predictive effectiveness of novel treatment approaches in Molecular Radiotherapy, and particularly Radioimmunotherapy in the context of cancer. A joint poster will be presented at the AACR Annual Meeting 2025 to demonstrate the use of the non-invasive technology in Radioimmunotherapy, targeting animal models bearing HER2+ tumors.
โWe have demonstrated the effectiveness of this powerful technology toย rapidlyย and covalently conjugate anyย off-the-shelfย antibody in aย single step with an imaging agent. Our strategic collaboration with Oncodesign Services allows broader access to and usage of non-invasive imaging applications and provides an innovative solution to biotech and pharma partners to integrate imagery in the development of new antibody- and ADC-based therapeuticsโ, commentedย Frรฉdรฉricย Lรฉvy, Chief Scientific Officer at Debiopharm.
Aidan Synnott, CEO of Oncodesign Services, said โwe are pleased to integrate this cutting-edge technology into our portfolio for our clients. The AbYlinkโข technology gives the advantage of generating reproducible batches of bioconjugated antibodies and ADCs that secure specificity and efficacy of targeted radiotherapy.โ
