Briacell Therapeutics Corp.’s subsidiary, Briapro Therapeutics Corp., is developing novel, high affinity antibodies to B7-H3 using molecular modeling techniques. As both an immune checkpoint molecule that regulates T-cell activity and a cell surface molecule expressed on many types of cancer cells, B7-H3 is a promising drug target.
Medigene AG and Epimab Biotherapeutics Inc. have entered a strategic codevelopment agreement to research and develop off-the-shelf T-cell receptor (TCR)-guided T-cell engagers (TCR-TCEs) for the treatment of immune-related disorders, such as solid tumors.
Biomissile Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. is developing multispecific antibodies that overcome resistance associated with antibody-drug conjugates via its next-generation natural killer (NK) cell engagers. “ADCs are very efficacious, but they do have a drawback with side effects and resistance, because ultimately ADCs are similar to chemotherapy because you bring toxins to the tumor site,” Biomissile co-founder and CEO Chao Tu told BioWorld.
