At the recent SITC meeting in Houston, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. reported preclinical data for the fusion protein TEV-56278, which is in phase I development.
Researchers from Mustbio Co. Ltd. and Chung-Ang University have presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of MB-2033, a novel bispecific fusion protein being developed for the treatment of cancer.
CLN-617 is a single-chain fusion protein comprising human IL-2, human IL-12, leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor 2 (LAIR2) and human serum albumin (HSA). It was designed for intratumoral injection to co-deliver IL-2 and IL-12 on a single molecule, with HSA and LAIR2 being used to retain CLN-617 in the tumor by binding collagen and increasing molecular weight.
Ono Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. inked deals with Shattuck Labs Inc. and Numab Therapeutics AG aimed at bolstering its pipeline in oncology and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Ono struck a drug discovery collaboration and option agreement with Shattuck Labs to generate bifunctional fusion proteins for pathways involved in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. It also signed a global research, development and commercialization deal with Numab for its NM-49, a multispecific antibody designed to activate tumor-associated macrophage phagocytosis for treating cancers.

Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc. has submitted an IND application to the FDA for AUR-200, a potential next-generation therapy for B-cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.
Researchers from Panolos Bioscience Inc. and affiliated organizations have published preclinical data for PB-101, a novel glycosylated decoy protein targeting both vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placental growth factor (PlGF).
At the recent ESC Congress, researchers from University of Tennessee and Attralus Inc. presented preclinical data on the novel pan-amyloid-binding peptide fusion immunoglobulin AT-02, which is being developed for the treatment of amyloidosis.
At the recent ASGCT meeting, researchers from Exegenesis Bio Inc. presented preclinical data for EXG-102-031, a novel recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV)-gene therapy being developed for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), also called wet AMD (wAMD).
