Sunrock Biopharma SL and Shanghai Escugen Biotechnology Co. Ltd. have joined forces in a strategic partnership to codevelop SRB-123, a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting C-C motif chemokine receptor 9 (CCR9), a tumor-associated antigen overexpressed in multiple solid tumors, including pancreatic, ovarian and lung cancer.
Rubedo Life Sciences Inc. has identified Bcl-2-like protein 1 (Bcl-xl; Bcl-X; BCL2L1) inhibitors acting as senolytic agents reported to be useful for the treatment of autoimmune disease, cancer, cardiovascular disorders, cognitive disorders, diabetes, inflammatory, metabolic and neurological disorders, among others.
Lung cancer is globally the second most frequent cancer and the cause of approximately 2 of every 10 cancer-related deaths. Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy can be effective for some patients, but many patients prove resistant to it.
