HSN-003839 is a ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 21 (USP21) inhibitor discovered by Beijing Pharscin Innobio Co. Ltd. and being developed as a novel anticancer agent.
By a unanimous 12-0 vote, the U.S. FDA’s Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee concluded that new evidence support the use of minimal residual disease (MRD) as an accelerated approval endpoint in multiple myeloma (MM) clinical trials. The FDA will now consider the recommendation, which, if incorporated into future studies, could dramatically shorten some drug developer timelines and offer more options for treating the aggressive bone marrow cancer.
The University of Florida Health Proton Therapy Institute’s director of Physics, Perry Johnson, has filed for protection of a method for patient posture and alignment using mixed reality (MixR) visualization.
Sichuan Kelun-Biotech Biopharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has described Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) and/or TLR8 agonists and their immunostimulatory antibody conjugates (ISACs) consisting of antibodies covalently linked to TLR7 and/or TLR8 agonists through cleavable or uncleavable linkers.
Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. has identified ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 1 (USP1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Recent work at Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, focused on the discovery and synthesis of imidazoquinoline-based Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonists as potential candidates for the treatment of melanoma.
Lamassu Biotech Inc. has announced that its IND for SA53-OS has been cleared by the FDA in the U.S. The planned phase I/IIa trials will investigate the genetically targeted therapy that blocks the MDM2 protein, a key regulator of the tumor suppressor p53 gene.
Results of preclinical studies with a highly potent KRAS (G12D mutant) inhibitor for the treatment of cancer were recently reported by researchers from Betta Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. BPI-501836 displayed higher inhibitory activity at KRAS G12D, when compared to the reference compound (IC50=0.25 and 2.4 nM, respectively) in NanoBRET assays.
