Chong Kun Dang Pharm (CKD Pharm) has presented data on their c-Met-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) CKD-703 for the treatment of solid tumors. CKD-703 was designed based on site-specific conjugation, with a stable and homogeneous drug-antibody ratio profile.
Researchers from Axcynsis Therapeutics Pte. Ltd. presented the development and preclinical characterization of AT-2604, a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting the placental alkaline phosphatases, ALPP and ALPPL2.
Peptidream Inc. has reported that an early-phase clinical trial for 64Cu-PD-32766, a 64Cu-labeled radiopharmaceutical targeting carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), for patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma has been approved by the clinical review board of the National Cancer Center Hospital East in Japan.
Researchers from Haisco Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of a brain-penetrating BRAF paradox breaker, HSK-42360, being developed for the treatment of BRAF-driven cancers. HSK-42360 proved to be a potent BRAF V600E inhibitor (IC50=5 nM) with selectivity over wild-type BRAF.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is still an uncurable disease. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells directed to tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17, also known as BCMA, have transformed the field, with high response rate and durable remissions, but the access to this therapy is limited by multiple factors.
Researchers from Kirilys Therapeutics Inc. presented findings from the preclinical evaluation of KRLS-017, a novel reversible cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) inhibitor being developed for the treatment of advanced solid tumors.
Researchers from Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) have created a new orthotopic preclinical model of glioblastoma (GBM), designed to recapitulate patient response to standard-of-care and targeted treatments.
Researchers from Adcentrx Therapeutics Inc. recently reported preclinical data for the Nectin-4-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) ADRX-0706, currently in phase I development for the treatment of solid tumors (NCT06036121).
Son of sevenless homolog 1 (SOS1) plays a crucial role in the conversion of KRAS from its GDP- to its GTP-bound form independently of KRAS mutational status, thus being a promising therapeutic target for all tumors driven by KRAS. Haihe Biopharma Co. Ltd. has presented a potent SOS1 inhibitor, HH-100937, that has been found effective as monotherapy or when combined with drugs targeting the KRAS/MAPK pathway.
