Simcere Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. has received IND approval from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for two immuno-oncology bispecific antibodies, SIM-0348 and SIM-0237.
Perception Vision Medical Technologies Co. Ltd. (Pvmed) raised around $14 million in a series A financing round, to further develop artificial intelligence (AI) cancer treatment solutions for the two major tumor treatment methods, radiotherapy, and surgery.
Abk Biomedical Inc. has completed an oversubscribed $30 million series C funding round to support IDE approval for Eye90 microspheres designed to improve outcomes for patients with liver cancer. The departure point for the technology’s development is U.S. FDA-cleared Y90 technology such as Boston Scientific’s Therasphere and Sir-Spheres developed by Sydney, Australia-based Sirtex Medical Ltd. “They are the only radioembolization microspheres on the market and that is the clinical space in which we will be submitting our IDE application,” Abk chief business officer Gary Donofrio told BioWorld. “Hopefully we’ll get approvals for the pivotal study and eventually to market in that space. It’s going to be great to be able to innovate and improve on what’s already been done there.”
In 2022, neuroscience research made significant advances by understanding the role of large-scale neuronal connections in disorders. So did cancer research.
Jiangsu Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. researchers have developed prodrugs acting as apoptosis regulator Bcl-2 inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, particularly chronic myeloid leukemia.
Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1) inhibitors, reported to be potentially useful for the treatment of cancer, have been detailed in a patent from Ennovabio (Zhejiang) Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. and Shanghai Ennova Biopharmaceutical Co. Ltd.
Researchers from Southeast University and Huanghuai University have reported the discovery of novel cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibitors as potential anticancer agents.
CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. announced that it has been granted approval by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to conduct clinical trials in China with its oral small-molecule cyclin-dependent kinase 2/4/6 (CDK2/4/6) inhibitor, SYH-2043. In preclinical studies, SYH-2043 demonstrated good antitumor effects in multiple solid tumor types, especially in breast cancer with intrinsic resistance and acquired resistance against CDK4/6 inhibitors.
Researchers from Cytovia Therapeutics Inc. have presented preclinical data for the novel natural killer (NK) cell engager antibody CYT-338, which was designed using the proprietary FLEX-NKTM platform. CYT-338 contains a novel FLEX-linker to redirect NK cells expressing NKp46 activation receptor to kill CD38-expressing tumors, including multiple myeloma (MM). It was observed that the addition of CYT-338 led to dose-dependent enhancement iNK and PBNK cytolysis of the MM tumor spheroids.
