Researchers from Vicero Inc. have developed a Vincobody platform, which allows for design of novel proprietary VHH antibody fragments that possess the efficacy of dual checkpoint blockade while mitigating the toxicity limitations of current monoclonal antibody therapies.
Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) is involved in transcriptional regulation, phosphorylation and the inhibition of tumor suppressor genes. Its upregulation in several types of tumors, such as colorectal, prostate, breast and ovarian cancers, among others, makes it a potential therapeutic target in cancer.
Prelude Therapeutics Inc. has disclosed phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase α (PI3Kα) (H1047R mutant) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum and more.
Esophageal cancer, particularly esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), is one of the most prevalent digestive malignancies, with a 5-year survival rate of only 20%. Although some cancer immunotherapies based on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown promise for ESCC, only a minority of patients actually benefit from ICI therapy.
Peptide-based vaccines deliver tumor-specific antigens to dendritic cells (DCs), triggering tumor-targeted T-cell responses. A peptide-peptide conjugate technology previously developed by researchers from Uppsala University and collaborators enhances this process by using multiple tetanus toxin-derived B-cell epitopes (MTTEs) to facilitate in vivo antigen delivery and DC activation.
CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. has obtained clearance from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to conduct clinical trials with JMT-108 for advanced malignant tumors.
