Preliminary preclinical data have been reported for Enliven Therapeutics Inc.’s ATP-competitive small-molecule ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) ELVN-001. In vitro antiproliferative effects, assessed using the biomarker Tyr207-phosphorylated CRKL, demonstrated that ELVN-001 had potent activity with IC50 values ranging from 19 to 112 nM against BCR-ABL1-driven chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell lines in the presence of 50% to 100% human serum.
Janssen Pharmaceutica NV reported on the company’s novel fully human immunoglobulin G1 CD79bxCD20xCD3 trispecific antibody JNJ-80948543, comprising an anti-CD3 ε single-chain variable fragment (scFv), an anti-CD20 scFv, and an anti-CD79b fragment antigen-binding (Fab) domain and an effector-silent Fc, designed to redirect T cells to treat patients whose disease no longer responds to previous lines of therapy.
Doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital London have reported the first successful use of base-edited donor T cells, in the treatment of refractory T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. The case of a 13-year-old girl named Alyssa, whose disease had not responded to chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, was presented at the American Society of Hematology meeting in New Orleans on Dec. 11, 2022.
After gaining U.S. FDA priority approval for the first gene therapy to treat hemophilia B, CSL Ltd. reported long-term data from the pivotal HOPE-B trial that showed a single infusion of Hemgenix (etranacogene dezaparvovec-drlb) generated elevated and sustained mean factor IX levels and reduced the rate of annual bleeding. Presented at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting on Dec. 10, data showed 24-month results reinforced the safety of treatment, with no serious treatment-related adverse effects.
Affimed NV said the latest data with its lead innate cell engager (ICE) known as AFM-13, disclosed at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) meeting, have caused the focus to shift from monotherapy to combination regimens.
New and updated clinical data presented by biopharma firms at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, including: Ambrx, Astrazeneca, Celcuity, Treadwell, Zymeworks.
Dravet syndrome is a type of congenital epilepsy caused by nonsense mutations in the SCN1A gene in about 20% of cases; SCN1A gene encodes the alpha subunit of the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.1. Spanish researchers and their collaborators have developed a novel murine model of Dravet syndrome; the model was developed by CRISPR/Cas9-generated A>T point mutation at nucleotide 1837 that converts Arg613 to a STOP codon, and which was introduced into exon 12 of the murine Scn1a gene using 129S1/SvImJ embryos.
