A recent Antelope Therapeutics SAS patent describes new antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising monoclonal antibodies targeting canAg (CA242) mucin glycoepitope covalently linked to exatecan designed for use in the treatment of cancer.
CSPC Megalith Biopharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has discovered new antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) consisting of antibodies targeting CUB domain-containing protein 1 (CDCP1) covalently linked to cytotoxic drugs potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Sanofi SA has synthesized new cyclopropane-aryl and vinyloxy-aryl compounds acting as transcriptional coactivator YAP1/transcriptional enhancer factor (TEAD) and/or WW domain-containing transcription regulator protein 1 (WWTR1; TAZ)/TEAD interaction inhibitors potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Werner syndrome helicase (WRN), belonging to the RecQ helicase family, represents a synthetic lethal vulnerability in MSI-H cancers, providing a strong rationale for therapeutic inhibition. Researchers from Simcere Zaiming Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. reported the discovery and preclinical characterization of ZMS-4084, a novel WRN inhibitor.
Ensem Therapeutics Inc. has presented data for ETX-929, a small-molecule, oral pan-KRAS inhibitor with potent ON and OFF dual-state inhibitory activity for both wild-type and mutant KRAS.
Directed evolution has become a central pillar in gene therapy. This engineering strategy enables the generation of more efficient variants of genetic editors and delivery vectors. Molecular diversification methods are increasingly sophisticated and are now accelerated by machine learning and AI tools, as showcased at the 29th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) held in Boston this week.
In a deal potentially worth up to $15.2 billion, Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. is joining efforts with Bristol Myers Squibb Co. to advance 13 early development programs in the fields of oncology, hematology and immunology. Shanghai-based Hengrui will hold exclusive rights in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, while Princeton, N.J.-based BMS will hold exclusive rights in the rest of the world.
Work at Blueprint Medicines Corp. to identify a selective and potent CDK4 degrader led to the identification of BLU-448, with minimal activity against CDK6 for treating HR+/HER2- breast cancer.
