Almac Discovery Ltd. has nominated a new preclinical candidate molecule, ALM-401, a first-in-class bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting EGFR/ROR1. It is being developed for the treatment of refractory lung cancer characterized by dual expression of ROR1 and EGFR.
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a subtype of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that represents around 40% of all lung tumors. Despite therapeutic advancements, LUAD remains a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Previous research found that ferredoxin-1 (FDX1) dysregulation plays a role in LUAD progression. FDX1 is a crucial regulator of copper homeostasis and cuproptosis, a regulated form of cell death triggered by excessive copper levels.
