Men with advanced prostate cancer only have a 5-year survival rate of 28%, mainly due to resistance to therapy. Enolase-1 (ENO1), also known as α-enolase, is a glycolytic enzyme with promise as a target for treating neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) and an alternative to prostate-specific member antigen (PSMA) targeting.

At the ongoing AACR meeting, Amgen Inc. provided details on the discovery and preclinical characterization of AMG-305, a novel dual-targeting bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) molecule, being developed as a potential new anticancer agent. While BiTE molecules offer a targeted immune therapy approach to treat cancer, on-target toxicity from normal tissue target expression has been a key issue in the development of T-cell engager molecules in solid tumors.

Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths with a 5-year survival rate of 11.5%. The toxicity and chemoresistance to...

Investigators from the European Brain Research Institute (EBRI) recently presented data on an immunotherapeutic approach based on the monoclonal antibody (MAb) 12A12 for treating Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
