Researchers from Xiamen University and affiliated organizations have presented the discovery of NB-1, a novel orally active Nur77 ligand being developed for the treatment of cancer.
Breast cancer is the leading cancer malignancy in women and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is among the most aggressive types as it is insensitive to endocrine and HER2-targeted therapy because it lacks all three hormonal receptors.
Previous studies have demonstrated that the natural product isotoosendanin (ITSN) inhibited triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) metastasis by preventing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and lamellipodia formation regulated by the TGF-β–Smad2/3 signaling pathway in TNBC cells through directly binding to TGF-β receptor type 1 (TGF-βR1).
New company Pan Cancer T BV is preparing for a clinical trial of a next-generation T-cell receptor-engineered T cell it has designed to remove the current barriers and make T-cell therapies effective in treating solid tumors. Its products have two distinguishing features: They are targeted at antigens the company has shown are exclusively and robustly expressed by multiple solid cancers, and have a minor genetic modification that enhances the durability of autologous TCR-Ts in the tumor microenvironment after they are administered back into a patient.
Circle Pharma Inc. has submitted an IND application to the FDA for CID-078, a first-in-class cyclin A/B RxL inhibitor. Pending approval, the company plans to initiate a phase I trial in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies.
A patient death and cases of pneumonitis overshadowed positive signs of efficacy for South San Francisco-based Lyell Immunopharma Inc.’s ROR1 CAR T-cell candidate, LYL-797, which is treating triple-negative breast cancer and non-small-cell lung cancer in a phase I trial.
Top-line phase III data from G1 Therapeutics Inc.’s pivotal Preserve 2 study of Cosela (trilaciclib) in treating metastatic triple-negative breast cancer missed its primary endpoint of overall survival, submerging the stock on June 24.
Scientists at the Institute of Cancer Research have generated a proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) that successfully destroyed RIPK1 in cancer cells.
Researchers from Uppsala University published data from a study that aimed to reveal and validate cancer vulnerabilities to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). A human Tumor-Immune co-Culture System (TICS), which consisted of primary human lymphocytes from healthy blood donors co-cultured with human cancer cells, was optimized to perform mechanistic investigation of clinically approved ICB drugs.
Breast cancer is a heterogenous disease in terms of its prognosis and treatment response. Metabolic reprogramming is a potential therapeutic target because of its repercussion on oncogenesis.
