Industry watchers will be tracking closely Replimune Group Inc.’s latest attempt to secure U.S. FDA approval of its advanced melanoma candidate, RP-1 (vusolimogene oderparepvec). The company announced Friday it had reached alignment for resubmitting the twice-rejected BLA with the agency, which it said has pledged to prioritize the review.
Norroy Bioscience Co. Ltd. has prepared and tested peptide-drug conjugates comprising a fibroblast activation protein α (FAP)-targeting moiety linked to a radionuclide-labeled metal chelating agent for use as positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agents in the diagnosis and/or treatment of cancer.
A University of California patent describes new poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1; ARTD1), DNA repair and serine/threonine-protein kinase ATR inhibitors potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Synnovation Therapeutics Inc. has discovered new proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases binding moiety coupled to nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NFE2L2; NRF2)-targeting moiety potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
Zhize Tongkang (Guangzhou) Biotechnology Co. Ltd. has divulged new antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising monoclonal antibodies targeting claudin 6 (CLDN6) linked to a camptothecin derivative potentially useful for the treatment of cancer and fibrosis.
Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy has shown success in the treatment of liver cancer and may reverse immune tolerance in chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Aligos Therapeutics Inc. has presented preclinical data on the characterization of ALG-093940, a small molecule PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor that induces PD-L1 dimerization and degradation.
Innovent Biologics Inc. and Pfizer Inc. have entered into a strategic global licensing and collaboration agreement for the research and development of 12 new breakthrough early-stage and de novo cancer medicines.
The human pancreas often contains lesions that are common in the population and that, although they can become malignant, usually do not. To understand when this occurs and how these pancreatic cancer precursor lesions, known as pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanIN), evolve, scientists at the University of Michigan analyzed their gene expression patterns and their cellular microenvironment.
Multiple updates on TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for lung and breast cancers highlight both progress made and opportunities for improvement for the targeted class of cancer therapeutics.
