Artificial intelligence (AI)-based models developed by a team of international researchers were able to identify ovarian cancer in ultrasound images more accurately than humans. Results from a study published in Nature Medicine showed that the AI models achieved an accuracy rate of 86.3%, compared to 82.6% for the experts and 77.7% for the non-expert examiners.
C-C chemokine receptor-like 2 (CCRL2) is a chemokine receptor involved in inflammation activation and is usually expressed in differentiated myeloid cells. CCRL2 is overexpressed in acute erythroid leukemia (AEL) cells compared to healthy cells. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) against CCRL2 in AEL were developed and tested in the preclinical setting.
Naya Biosciences Inc. has expanded its bifunctional antibody pipeline to include NY-500, a novel PD-1 x VEGF tetravalent bifunctional antibody for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and other solid tumors.
Rakovina Therapeutics Inc. has announced the successful synthesis of novel small-molecule drug candidates designed under the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) platform collaboration.
Aromatase inhibitors (AI) are among the most widely used therapies in the treatment of breast tumors expressing estrogen receptor α (ERα). Alone or in combination with other agents, they are the standard of care for hormone receptor-positive tumors.
Simcere Zaiming Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has announced clinical trial approvals in China and the U.S. for its CDH6-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), SIM-0505, for advanced solid tumors. A global clinical study will evaluate SIM-0505 in various malignant tumors, including ovarian cancer and renal cancer.
Scientists at Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG and Vanderbilt University have described GTPase KRAS and/or its mutant inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
