Facing increasing competition to PI3Kα inhibitor Piqray (alpelisib) in breast cancer, Novartis AG looks to bolster its pipeline with next-generation programs, including phase I/II-stage candidate SNV-4818, by way of a potential $3 billion deal with Synnovation Therapeutics LLC.
Treeline Biosciences Inc. has synthesized new proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety covalently linked to transcriptional enhancer factor TEF (TEAD)-targeting moiety potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have disclosed 4-aminoquinoline inhibitors of the autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) intended for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
HORMA domain-containing protein 1 (HORMAD1) is a protein that promotes meiotic recombination and its expression is usually restricted to germ-line cells, although it has been shown to be actively expressed out of context in about 60% of triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs). A team at The Institute of Cancer Research has found that this aberrant expression in tumor cells perturbs mitotic arrest and generates aneuploidy, leading to a weakening of the spindle assembly checkpoint and in kinetochore-microtubule error correction.
Researchers from Incyte Corp. reported the efficacy of INCB-161734, a KRAS G12D inhibitor, in combination with various strategies in models of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs).
At the ESMO Targeted Anticancer Therapies Congress held this week in Paris, researchers at Mabqi SAS presented the preclinical characterization of MQI-201, an anti-TRPV6 therapeutic antibody in models of metastatic prostate cancer.
Once confined to a niche in nuclear medicine, targeted radionuclide therapy is rapidly gaining momentum and becoming one of the fastest-growing strategies in oncology. Evidence of this surge was clear at the 2026 European Society of Medical Oncology Targeted Anticancer Therapy (ESMO TAT) congress, where the topic was highlighted both at the ESMO Colloquium and in the session titled “The Future of Radioligands: Insights from Industry, Regulation and Clinical Practice,” with various speakers sharing their perspectives on the modality’s current role and future potential.
Crossbow Therapeutics Inc. closed a $77 million series B round to support an ongoing phase I Crosscheck-001 trial of lead program, CBX-250, and additional T-Bolt immunotherapies targeting a broad range of cancers.
