ADC Therapeutics, a Swiss developer of antibody-drug conjugates for cancer, has raised $105 million from new and existing investors including AstraZeneca, Auven Therapeutics, and the Wild Family Office. ADC’s drugs use antibodies to deliver pyrrolobenzodiazepine-based warheads to both solid tumors and hematological malignancies. ADC says it has raised $255 million since its inception in 2012.
