Oncopia Therapeutics Inc. (dba Proteovant Therapeutics Inc.) and the University of Michigan have jointly patented molecular glue degraders targeting cereblon (CRBN) and acting as zinc finger protein Helios (IKZF2) degradation inducers.
Eukaryotic peptide chain release factor GTP-binding subunit ERF3A (GSPT1) degradation inducers have been reported in a Bristol Myers Squibb Co. patent as potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Researchers from Ambrx Inc. and Novocodex Biopharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. presented preclinical data for ARX-305, a next-generation anti-CD70 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), being developed for the treatment of CD70-expressing cancers.
Abbisko Therapeutics Co. Ltd. has received FDA clearance of its IND application for ABSK-012, a highly selective small-molecule inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4), for advanced solid tumors.
