JJP Biologics Sp. z o.o. has received clearance from the EMA to conduct a first-in-human study of its CD89 antagonist, JJP-1212, for IgA-mediated autoimmune and fibrotic diseases. A phase I study in healthy participants will be conducted in Poland.
Inhibition of OX40 is known to induce and maintain responses in moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). Astria Therapeutics Inc. and Ichnos Sciences Inc. are developing STAR-0310, a YTE-modified (M252Y/S254T/T256E) monoclonal antibody targeting OX40.
Researchers from Iomx Therapeutics AG presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of IOMX-0675, a novel LILRB1 and LILRB2 cross-specific antibody being developed for the treatment of solid tumors.
HERV-H LTR-associating protein 2 (HHLA2) is known to play immunosuppressive roles by interacting with killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 3DL3 (KIR3DL3). The expression of HHLA2 in cancer is associated with poor patient outcomes, making it a promising therapeutic target for immunotherapy. Nextpoint Therapeutics Inc. has presented data on their monoclonal antibodies NPX-267 and NPX-887, which target KIR3DL3 and HHLA2, respectively.
Pheast Therapeutics Inc. has announced the presentation of preclinical data for PHST-001, a therapeutic monoclonal antibody targeting CD24, a macrophage checkpoint.
Apogee Therapeutics Inc. has selected a development candidate for its APG-990 program, a subcutaneous half-life extended monoclonal antibody targeting OX40L, initially being developed for atopic dermatitis.
The administration of a cross-reactive monoclonal antibody (MAb) protected hamsters and African green monkeys (AGM) several days after Nipah virus (NiV) infection.
The FDA has cleared Oncoc4 Inc.’s IND application for ONC-841, a potential first-in-class Siglec-10-blocking antibody for the treatment of solid tumors.
The leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B2 (LILRB2), also known as ILT4, is an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM)-containing receptor that is widely expressed on immunosuppressive myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment.
Spikimm SAS has signed an exclusive collaboration and license option agreement with SATT Conectus Alsace SAS for monoclonal antibodies targeting the BK virus. Reactivation of the BK virus (BKV) in patients receiving kidney transplant, bone marrow or stem cell grafts has potential serious consequences.
