Scientists from Recludix Pharma Inc. presented the preclinical characterization of REX-7117, an orally available, reversible, SH2 domain-targeting STAT3 inhibitor, being developed for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
Kyverna Therapeutics Inc. has presented details on the development and preclinical characterization of KYV-102, an autologous fully human anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy developed for diseases driven by B cells, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), among others.
Researchers from EMD Serono Research and Development Institute Inc. hypothesized that modulation of two T-cell costimulatory pathways, such as CD28 and OX40, in one single molecule would be more efficient at controlling T-cell activation than modulating each pathway separately.
To address limitations with CAR T therapies targeting CD19, Allogene Therapeutics Inc. has developed ALLO-329, a CD19/CD70-targeting CAR therapy that is able to deplete activated alloreactive lymphocytes, while endowing dual targeting of CD19+ B cells and CD70+ T cells.
Seismic Therapeutic Inc.'s S-1117 was designed as a pan-IgG protease fused to an effector function silent human IgG1 Fc domain. The candidate, being developed for the treatment of autoantibody-mediated diseases, was engineered for chronic subcutaneous administration using a proprietary machine learning-enabled platform, with the aim of reducing immunogenicity while maintaining potency.
Blood dendritic cell antigen 2 (BDCA2) is expressed in plasmacytoid dendritic cells. These cells’ overproduction of type I interferon is closely linked to the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune diseases.
Researchers from Seoul National University presented results of preclinical evaluation of a new TNF-α/OX40L bispecific antibody, IMB-101, being developed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) is still a challenge, since it is focused on symptom relief but fails at dealing with the progressive cartilage deterioration that occurs during the disease. Researchers from Innovo Therapeutics Inc. recently unveiled INV-1498, a caspase inhibitor, as a preclinical candidate for the treatment of OA.
