Researchers from Janssen Pharmaceutica NV reported the discovery of novel potent fluoroallylamide induced myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein Mcl-1 inhibitors for the treatment of hematologic malignancies.
GPC3 is an oncofetal antigen highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) but minimally expressed in adult normal tissues, except the placenta. Cytovia Therapeutics Inc. has presented preclinical data on CYT-303, a bispecific natural killer (NK) engager targeting NK cell-activating receptor NKp46 and GPC3 expressed in tumor cells.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a target in many cancers, but EGFR inhibitors have displayed little utility in treating glioblastoma (GBM) due to limited blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration.
Researchers from Abl Bio Inc. recently presented preclinical data for the novel asymmetrical CLL1/CD3 bispecific antibody ABL-602, being developed for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
New and updated preclinical and clinical data presented by biopharma firms at the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress 2022, including: Alphamab, Beyondspring, Triumvira.
Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide receptor 1 (VIPR1) has been shown to have contradicting effects in different cancers. Researchers have investigated the association of VIPR1 with immune inhibitory components to understand its immune landscape.
Researchers from Immatics Biotechnologies GmbH have developed bispecific T-cell engaging receptor (TCER) molecules consisting of an affinity maturated TCR, a humanized T cell-recruiting antibody and an Fc-part conferring half-life extension and favorable stability characteristics.
Research at Monash University has led to the identification of structurally novel muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) with potential utility in treating Alzheimer's disease and other cognition disorders.
