Researchers from Epics Therapeutics SA presented preclinical data for EP-102, a novel small-molecule inhibitor of N6-adenosine-methyltransferase catalytic subunit (METTL3), being developed for the treatment of cancer.
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapies targeted against CD19 have been widely used for the treatment of B-cell malignancies. However, the down-regulation of CD19 can lead to relapse, and autologous CAR T therapies have limitations that need to be addressed.
Researchers from Hibercell Inc. recently presented preclinical data for HC-7366, a first-in-class direct activator of GCN2 (general control nonderepressible 2) currently in phase I development for the treatment of solid tumors (NCT05121948).
MSD had a banner year at the ESMO Asia Congress earlier this month, presenting 14 abstracts on eight different types of cancers, including gastric, esophageal, colorectal, biliary tract, kidney, urothelial, breast and gynecological cancers.
