Researchers at Jilin University and collaborators combed through data in the public Cancer Genome Atlas and identified a potential target for lung adenocarcinoma.
KAT6A and its paralogue KAT6B are histone acetyltransferases whose overexpression is linked to poor prognosis in ER+/HER2- breast cancer and other types of tumors.
A recent study explored the therapeutic potential of hu128.1, a humanized antibody targeting transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1), in treating erythroleukemia using xenograft mouse models. The results demonstrate that hu128.1 exerts strong antitumor activity against human erythroleukemic (ERY-1) cells, highlighting its promise as a candidate for managing this aggressive cancer.
Verastem Oncology Inc. CEO Dan Paterson said he is “not expecting a huge bolus [of ovarian cancer patients] at the beginning” of Avmapki/Fakzynja’s launch, but momentum will build over time. “Based on our market research, this [drug] is the most likely thing for them to go on next,” he added, noting that patients tend to be on the drug for an average of 18 months.
Northridge Health Group (Hong Kong) Co. Ltd. has divulged proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety covalently linked to a tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2; TCPTP)/PTP1B-targeting moiety via a linker.
Neuboron Medtech Research Institute Ltd. has disclosed boron-containing lipoic acid derivatives and vesicle forms acting as boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) agents reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Folate receptor α (FOLR1) is highly expressed in the surface of tumoral cells in several cancer types, while it shows limited expression in normal tissues. CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. has developed a next-generation antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting FOLR1 – SYS-6041 – for the treatment of mid-to-low FOLR1-expressing tumors.
Drug resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors, occurring via secondary mutations or bypass pathways, is frequent among non-small-cell lung cancer patients.
Claudin-6 (CLDN6) is a protein found in the tight junctions of epithelial cells to modulate their permeability and barrier function, among other actions.
Aptevo Therapeutics Inc. is advancing APVO-711, its bispecific antibody targeting PD-L1 x CD40 that combines checkpoint inhibition with immune activation in a single molecule.
