A team of scientists led by The Wistar Institute has been awarded a 5-year National Cancer Institute (NCI) Program Project Grant valued at more than $12 million to explore the role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in epithelial cancers. The project, which brings together scientists from The Wistar Institute and Harvard University, will focus entirely on the EBV-epithelial cancer link and look at metabolic and epigenetic vulnerabilities simultaneously.
Researchers from Chongqing Medical University have reported discovering a novel cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) inhibitor, N76-1, which they are investigating as a potential new candidate for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. has identified proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase coupled to Wee1-like protein kinase (Wee1) targeting moiety via linker acting as Wee1 degradation inducers reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Lynk Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. has disclosed nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds acting as GTPase KRAS (G12D mutant) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Nearly five years after submitting its first NDA seeking U.S. approval for Vanflyta (quizartinib) for treating a subset of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), Daiichi Sankyo Co. Ltd. finally cleared the last hurdle. The FDA on July 20 approved the FLT3 inhibitor for use in combination with cytarabine and anthracycline induction and cytarabine consolidation, and as maintenance monotherapy following consolidation chemotherapy, for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed disease that is FLT3 ITD-positive.
Prestige Biopharma Ltd. is mounting efforts to rise rank through the industry with a two-pronged strategy of becoming a global cancer antibody drug developer and contract development and manufacturing organization.
The overexpression of the MYC oncogene could be explained through a new pathway that would act before transcription, when MYC binds to DNA. A group of scientists from Spain have identified how the ERK2 kinase interacted with the CDK9 protein, enabling it to bind to DNA in the promoter region of MYC.
Shanghai Euregen Biopharma Co. Ltd. has described pyridazine compounds acting as son of sevenless homolog 1 (SOS1)/GTPase KRAS (G12C mutant) interaction inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
