There is increasing interest in developing precision immunotherapies that target tumors but with minimal impact on healthy tissues. IL-12 is a potent immunostimulatory cytokine that has shown effective antitumoral activity in the preclinical setting, but its systemic delivery may be accompanied by off-target effects.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most lethal primary adult brain cancer. Genomic instability, angiogenesis or chronic tumor hypoxia underlie high recurrence rates despite maximal surgery and concomitant radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Scientists at Inventisbio Co. Ltd. and Inventisbio LLC have divulged E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase CBL-B (CBLB) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
TYK Medicines Inc. has identified proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety covalently bonded to an EGFR (mutant)-targeting moiety through a linker.
Nectin-4 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) and checkpoint inhibitor combinations have represented a great advancement in the treatment of bladder cancer, but relapse and treatment-related toxicities underscore the need for new therapeutic strategies.
Researchers from Anaveon AG and affiliated organizations presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of ANV-700, a novel proximity-activated cytokine (PAC) compound designed to selectively deliver IL-21 to PD-1-expressing cells for the treatment of cancer.
Beijing Danatlas Pharmaceutical Technology Co. Ltd. has disclosed Werner syndrome ATP-dependent helicase (WRN; RECQ3; RECQL2) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
