Yiteng Pharmaceutical Industry Taizhou Co. Ltd. has synthesized cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Ubix Therapeutics Inc. has disclosed proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) comprising von Hippel-Lindau disease tumor suppressor ligands coupled to a tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 11 (PTPN11; PTP-2C; SHP-2) targeting moiety via linker acting as SHP-2 degradation inducers and reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Previous studies have identified a promising target and potential biomarker for diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal and esophageal cancers: claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2), a tight junction protein overexpressed in these and other solid tumors.
Researchers from Medical University Vienna presented data from a study that aimed to identify possible synergism between the novel son of sevenless (SOS) inhibitor BAY-293 and B-Raf or/and MEK1/2 inhibitors as a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of melanoma.
Estrella Biopharma Inc. has received FDA clearance of its IND application for lead product candidate EB-103, a T-cell therapy targeting CD19, a protein expressed on the surface of almost all B-cell leukemias and lymphomas.

Since abnormal choline accumulation in cancer cells has been strongly correlated with malignant tumor growth, researchers from Tokyo Medical University aimed to analyze the functional expression of choline transporters in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) develops in the epithelial lining of the oral cavity, hypopharynx, oropharynx or larynx. The standard treatment includes platinum-based and taxane-based chemotherapy that causes both drug resistance and negative side effects.For that reason, there is a need to explore new low-toxicity options for HNSCC treatment.
