Shenzhen Zhongge Biotechnology Co. Ltd. prepared and tested cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme, mitochondrial (CYP11A1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer.
The U.S. FDA’s approval of Telix Pharmaceuticals Ltd.’s kit for preparing prostate-specific membrane antigen-PET imaging for prostate cancer widens the opportunities for patients who live far away from large hospitals. The FDA’s nod for the imaging agent, TLX007-CDx, now branded as Gozellix, has a long shelf life and needs less equipment and preparation compared to some other agents.
Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. has described proteolysis targeting chimeric (PROTAC) compounds comprising a protein cereblon (CRBN) ligase binding moiety covalently linked to an androgen receptor targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Sotio Biotech AS is exercising an option under a license and option agreement to obtain a license to Synaffix BV’s technology to develop two bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) programs for solid tumors.
Qingdao Putaike Biomedical Technology Co. Ltd. has described androgen receptor full length (AR-FL) and/or androgen receptor variant 7 (AR-v7) degradation inducers reported to be useful for the treatment of acne vulgaris, androgenic alopecia, cancer, hirsutism, metabolic diseases, polycystic ovary syndrome, precocious puberty and benign prostatic hyperplasia, among others.
Prostate cancer (PC), often referred to as a cold tumor, typically presents a poor immune response, making it difficult for immune-based therapies to be effective. Metastatic castration-resistant PC (mCRPC) presents a highly aggressive phenotype often refractory to systemic treatment.
Haisco Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. has identified proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety covalently linked to an androgen receptor (AR) targeting moiety acting as AR degradation inducers reported to be useful for the treatment of prostate cancer.
Cancer Targeted Technology LLC has disclosed conjugates comprising a glutamate carboxypeptidase 2 (FOLH1; NAALAD1; PSMA) targeting ligand covalently linked to a therapeutic or diagnostic agent through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of prostate cancer.
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.
