Alumis Inc. has patented non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase TYK2 inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, neurological, autoimmune, inflammatory and endocrine disorders.
Sparx Group has formed a strategic alliance with Arovella Therapeutics Ltd. for the development of a CLDN18.2-chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell therapy.
Arbele Ltd. founder and CEO John Luk identified and patented cadherin-17 as a therapeutic cancer target, and the company was founded to develop immunotherapies for gastrointestinal cancers, which are prevalent in Asia Pacific.
Research at Prelude Therapeutics Inc. has led to the identification of thaizole-pyrimdiine cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
A recent Jiangsu Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. and Shanghai Hansoh Biomedical Co. Ltd. patent describes nitrogen-containing heterocyclic derivatives acting as EGFR (del19 mutant) inhibitors and reported to be useful for the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer.
Ideaya Biosciences Inc. has announced the selection of a Werner helicase inhibitor development candidate. The candidate is a potent, selective, small-molecule inhibitor of the helicase domain of Werner protein and is being advanced for tumors characterized by high microsatellite instability (MSI-high).
Recurrent driver mutations in FMS-related receptor tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) occur in around one-third of patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although most FLT3 mutations are secondary events in leukemogenesis, they are associated with accelerated clonal expansion and disease progression, and treatment with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor midostaurin has been shown to increase patients’ long-term survival. However, the efficacy of FLT3 inhibitors in eliminating FLT3-mutated clones is variable.
Just as Wall Street had begun mulling the possible fallout of the regulatory vote against full U.S. FDA clearance for Amgen Inc.’s KRAS G12C therapy for non-small-cell lung cancer, a new – albeit not entirely unexpected – development cropped up in the space. Mirati Therapeutics Inc. disclosed Oct. 9 that Bristol Myers Squibb Co. (BMS) is offering to take over the firm in a deal that could be worth as much as $5.8 billion, historically one of the larger takeovers for 2023.
Wigen Biomedicine Technology (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. scientists have developed kinesin-like protein KIF18A inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) inhibitors have been reported in a Sookmyung Women’s University patent as potentially useful for the treatment of cancer, neurodegeneration, autoimmune disease, fibrosis and inflammatory disorders.
