Crossbridge Bio Inc. has been awarded a $15 million grant from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) to support completion of IND-enabling activities and advancement of CBB-120 into first-in-human studies.
Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are residues from ancient viral infections that have become integrated into the human genome. One of them – HERV-K – is aberrantly reactivated in solid tumors but silent in healthy tissues.
Researchers at Tubulis GmbH reported preclinical efficacy data on TUB-030, a novel 5T4-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), in several sarcoma subtypes.
Sunrise Oncology (Hong Kong) Ltd. has identified molecular glues acting as phosphodiesterase PDE3A/SLFN12 interaction inducers reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Hangzhou Baicreat Pharma-Tech Co. Ltd. has disclosed oxamide compounds acting as signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory disorders.
METTL3, the enzyme that adds the m6A RNA modification, is a key regulator of RNA processing and protein synthesis. In cancer, METTL3 is often overexpressed, driving tumor growth, invasion and therapy resistance across multiple malignancies, including lung, pancreatic, ovarian, colorectal cancers and acute myeloid leukemia.
Antengene Corp. Ltd. has outlined progress in its early-stage pipeline. The company has leveraged its Antengager T-cell engager (TCE) platform for the discovery of multiple investigational programs.
Harbour Biomed is stepping up its antibody discovery process by using AI to develop innovative therapeutics. “We have done great through the traditional way of generating leads and designing molecules, but there’s a major gap as some therapeutics cannot reach the desired location or common targets,” Harbour Biomed founder, chairman and CEO Jingsong Wang told BioWorld.
