Prostate cancer remains a significant health concern for men globally, and the search for effective and targeted therapies continues. In a recent study, researchers from Guizhou Medical University identified a new class of 4-trifluoromethylquinoline derivatives that demonstrated potent anti-prostate cancer activity by inhibiting the serum/glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK1).
Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a key serine/threonine phosphatase that controls various signaling pathways and influences cancer development and treatment outcomes.
Triple-negative breast cancer is an especially challenging subtype characterized by the absence of key receptors, limiting the effectiveness of many standard breast cancer treatments.
Researchers from Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. reported the discovery of SHR-3591, an orally bioavailable AR proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) designed to treat prostate tumors.
Aiming to develop a systemic therapy for advanced refractory cancers, researchers have designed a novel oncolytic adenovirus that selectively targets and kills cancer cells expressing mesothelin.
PARP inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of several cancers, including ovarian, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers with BRCA mutations or other homologous recombination repair deficiencies (HRD). However, their therapeutic potential is limited by challenges such as hematologic toxicity and lack of target selectivity.
Immutep Ltd. announced strong median overall survival of 17.6 months in cohort B of the TACTI-003 (Keynote-PNC-34) phase IIb trial that evaluated eftilagimod alfa in combination with Merck & Co.’s Keytruda (pembrolizumab) as first-line therapy in recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in patients with PD-L1 expression below 1.
