MYB is an oncogenic transcription factor that is often aberrantly expressed in hematologic malignancies, mostly in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Rgenta Therapeutics Inc. recently presented data for RGT-61159, a potent and selective MYB inhibitor compound that demonstrated cell killing across a panel of MYB-overexpressing leukemic cell lines.
Therapies against aggressive T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) are limited and treatment resistance to histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors often occurs. Polycomb protein EED is a key member of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) complex and is an attractive therapeutic target for TCLs. APG-5918 is an EED inhibitor from Ascentage Pharma Group International Co. Ltd. that has been proven to disrupt the PRC2 functioning and has been tested in preclinical TCL models as a promising approach.
Multiple myeloma bone disease (MBD) lacks effective biomarkers; recent evidence involves exosomal circRNAs in the progression of cancer, but their roles in the field have not been deeply explored. The aim of this study was to explore the role of component of oligomeric golgi complex 5 (COG5) and shed light on its osteolytic mechanism.
Sillajen Inc. has recently presented data regarding their threonine tyrosine kinase (TTK) and Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) dual inhibitor BAL-0891 as a therapeutic approach for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment. The compound was tested both in vitro and in vivo in the preclinical setting.
“The lack of therapeutic precision in treatment of myeloid malignancies is in sharp contrast with the fact that myeloid cancers represent the perhaps best characterized cancers of all at the cellular, molecular, and genetic levels,” Johanna Olweus told her audience at the Friday plenary session of the European Hematology Association 2025 Annual Congress.
CAR T-cell therapy that targets BCMA is an effective option for treating relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, but there is a lack of persistence due to the inability to develop a memory phenotype.
Transmembrane serine protease 6 (TMPRSS6) is a negative regulator of hepcidin, which is the main iron homeostasis-regulating hormone. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. has recently presented preclinical data for the monoclonal antibody targeting TMPRSS6, REGN-7999, which is being developed for the treatment of iron overload.
