Researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Kurome Therapeutics Inc. and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have disclosed IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK-1) and/or IRAK-4 and/or FLT3 (FLK2/STK1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.
Researchers at the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology’s Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) and Pulmobiotics Ltd. have used one bacterium to fight another. In mouse models, the team used engineered Mycoplasma pneumoniae to treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the chief culprit in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).
Macrocyclic compounds acting as induced myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein Mcl-1 inhibitors have been reported in a Zeno Management Inc. patent. They are reported to be potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Rgenta Therapeutics Inc.’s $52 million in a series A money will let the RNA-focused firm pursue its small-molecule drug efforts “for the next two or three years,” as candidates in cancer and neurology make their ways toward the clinic, said co-founder and CEO Simon Xi. “We’ll go where the science leads us,” he told BioWorld, adding that the cash on hand is sufficient to complete a phase I study.
Catalym GmbH raised €50 million (US$51.3 million) in a series C round to expand and accelerate phase IIa development of visugromab (CTL-002), a first-in-class growth differentiation factor 15 inhibitor, across a range of solid tumor indications.
Targeted therapies and immunotherapies have revolutionized cancer treatment in recent years. However, achieving durable responses and, ultimately, curing metastatic cancers driven by intracellular oncogenes remains a primary unmet medical need. Although fragments of intracellular oncoproteins can act as neoantigens presented by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), recognizing the typically minimal differences between oncoproteins and their normal counterparts makes this approach quite challenging.
Acerand Therapeutics (USA) Ltd. has discovered new son of sevenless homologue 1 (SOS1)/GTPase KRAS (G12D mutant) interaction inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Medshine Discovery Inc. has identified thiophene compounds acting as lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (LSD1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
