Sanofi SA and Seagen Inc. have reported antibody-drug conjugates comprising antibodies targeting carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5; CEA; CD66e) covalently linked to topoisomerase I inhibitors through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Curadev Pharma Ltd. has patented proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase coupled to mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1)-targeting agent via linker acting as HPK1 inhibitors and thus reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, viral infections and immunological disorders.
Cholangiocarcinoma accounts for about 3% of all gastric tumors. Mutant KRAS is the most prevalent oncogene in cholangiocarcinoma, suggesting a potential role for KRAS inhibitors as a therapeutic approach.
Bivictrix Therapeutics plc’s BVX-001, a first-in-class Bi-Cygni bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), has demonstrated a favorable toxicity profile in an industry standard toxicology model.
Researchers from Taipei Medical University have presented data from a study that assessed the role of KH-type splicing regulatory protein (KHSRP, also called KSRP) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Even though the treatment options that exist for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are growing, the clinical outcome of patients is still unfavorable. In AML dysregulation of the tyrosine kinase receptors, including RAS, RAF, MEK and ERK, and of the Aurora kinase family (AURK) exists, are both tied to AML development and progression.
Sibylla Biotech SpA and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have signed a strategic collaboration agreement to discover and develop novel small molecule folding interfering degraders (FIDs) for the treatment of cancer.
High weight is associated with a greater risk of developing many cancers, and with an increased risk of metastasis. But in some cancers such as renal cell carcinoma, it is also associated with better survival and a better response to immunotherapies in particular.
Acepodia Inc.’s antibody cell conjugation platform could change the way CAR T-cell therapies are manufactured, clearing the way for an off-the-shelf model to treat numerous cancers that is safer and cheaper than current CAR Ts, Acepodia CEO Sonny Hsiao told BioWorld.
