Newco T-Therapeutics Ltd. has raised £48 million (US$59 million) in a series A to advance development of T-cell receptors generated by its transgenic mouse platform for the treatment of solid tumors, autoimmune diseases and infections. In cancer, the specificity of T-Therapeutics’ molecules will overcome shortcomings of immuno-oncology drugs such as checkpoint inhibitors that stimulate a response to some cancer neo-antigens but are unable to recognize cancer-specific self-antigens.
Graviton Bioscience BV has described Rho kinase 2 (ROCK 2; ROCKα) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, fibrosis, autoimmune, lung, cardiovascular, eye, inflammatory and neurological disorders.
Legochem Biosciences Inc. has synthesized Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) and/or TLR8 agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, HIV infection, and hepatitis B virus infection.
Researchers from Apeximmune Therapeutics Inc. presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of AIM-104, a novel potent pan-allele anti-SIRPα antibody for the treatment of cancer.
The U.S. and China biotech Apollomics Inc. on Nov. 16 gained the NMPA’s conditional approval for its cellular mesenchymal-epithelial transcription inhibitor for lung cancer called vebreltinib (APL-1010) through its Beijing-based partner, Avistone Biotechnology Co. Ltd.
