Data from preclinical studies conducted to evaluate the activity of NKT-3964, a first-in-class, orally bioavailable CDK2-selective PROTAC degrader being developed for the potential treatment of cancer, were reported by Nikang Therapeutics Inc.
SOS1 is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that activates KRAS, and recent preclinical studies have demonstrated that combining KRAS and EGFR inhibitors with SOS1 inhibitors can overcome resistance and achieve durable responses.
Anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have proven effective in multiple tumor types. However, between 64% and 85% of HER2+ breast and gastric cancer patients retain HER2 expression after treatment with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-Dxd), which includes a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload.
Nimbus Therapeutics LLC reported the identification of an allosteric, potent, selective, highly efficacious and noncovalent Werner syndrome helicase (WRN) inhibitor, NTX-452, for the potential treatment of microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) tumors.
Researchers from Congruence Therapeutics Inc. have described the development of a mouse model of genetic obesity with a clinically relevant, naturally occurring human melanocortin MC4 receptor (MC4R) mutation.
Duality Biologics Ltd. presented preclinical data on DB-1419, a potentially first-in-class bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) consisting of a humanized antibody targeting B7-H3 and PD-L1 conjugated to a DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor under development for the treatment of cancer.
Researchers from Duality Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of DB-1314, a novel delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3)-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for the treatment of cancer.
Celltrion Inc. posted preclinical study results of two new antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) candidates – CT-P70 and CT-P71 – at the World ADC 2024 conference in San Diego Nov. 6, with plans to move the assets into clinical trials. Poster presentations of both ADC candidates “drew significant attention from the attendees” at the oncology meeting, Incheon, South Korea-based Celltrion said, while highlighting its efforts to transition from a biosimilar maker to a novel therapy developer.
Nodus Oncology Ltd. presented the discovery of NODX-010, a potent poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) inhibitor being developed for the potential treatment of cancer, including tumors resistant to PARP inhibitors.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison has synthesized a next-generation prostate-specific member antigen (PSMA)-targeting small molecule, ART-101, for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer.
