Researchers from Genequantum Healthcare (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. have presented the first preclinical data on GQ-1007, an antibody immune agonist conjugate (AIAC) targeting HER2, for the treatment of cancer. GQ-1007 is an anti-HER2 antibody conjugated via Genequantum’s highly stable linker and enzymatic conjugation technology to a Toll-like receptor 7/8 (TLR7/8) agonist.
At the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s annual meeting, researchers from Tallac Therapeutics Inc. reported the discovery of TAC-003, a novel Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist and Nectin-4-specific antibody conjugate, being developed as cancer immunotherapy candidate.
Shares of Werewolf Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:HOWL) reflected enthusiasm on Wall Street for the prospect, albeit early stage, of systemically delivering a masked native interleukin-2 (IL-2) cytokine to cancer patients.

CD39 has an essential role in converting extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP; pro-inflammatory) into adenosine monophosphate (AMP; anti-inflammatory). Preventing the action of CD39 in the tumor microenvironment would increase levels of ATP, causing myeloid cell activation and improvement of tumor control.
In August, Pact Pharma Inc. suspended its phase I trial after 16 patients had been treated with its autologous CRISPR-edited T cells “for business reasons,” the company announced at the time. Scientifically, though, the trial broke enough new ground to be concurrently presented in a late-breaking oral session at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for the Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) and published as an accelerated article preview in Nature on Nov. 10, 2022.
