Atreca Inc. and Xencor Inc. have mutually selected the first program from their strategic collaboration combining an Atreca-discovered antibody with Xencor's Xmab bispecific Fc domain and a cytotoxic T-cell binding domain (CD3).
Harbour Biomed Ltd. has received IND clearance by the FDA to initiate clinical trials in the U.S. with HBM-1022, a monoclonal antibody generated from Harbour's integrated G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) platform. The antibody can enhance antitumor immunity by depleting CCR8 positive regulatory T cells, activating effector T cells.
Wigen Biomedicine Technology (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. has described 1,2,4-triazolone derivatives acting as dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of solid tumors and hematologic blood cancer.
Humanwell Healthcare (Group) Co. Ltd. has identified transcriptional enhancer factor (TEAD) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Shanghai Aryl Pharmtech Co. Ltd. and Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. have divulged trideuteromethyl-substituted pyrazino pyrazino quinolinone derivatives acting as deuterated GTPase KRAS (mutant) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Biogen Inc. and C4 Therapeutics Inc. have synthesized proteolysis targeting chimeric (PROTAC) compounds comprising cereblon (CRBN) ligands covalently linked to an IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK-4)-targeting moiety through a linker.
Sichuan Kelun-Biotech Biopharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has disclosed proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety covalently linked to a GTPase KRAS (G12D mutant) targeting moiety reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Accutar Biotechnology Inc. has received FDA clearance of its IND application for AC-0676 for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies.
Lung and pancreatic cancer cells usually become chemotherapy resistant; the alternative to target nonapoptotic pathways was hypothesized as an approach for treating these cancers. Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University and their collaborators focused on the activation of pyroptosis as a therapeutic alternative to treat these resistant tumor types.
Turbine Ltd. began the new year with a partnership with Cancer Research Horizons, the innovation arm of Cancer Research UK, which will put its Simulatedcell computational biology platform to work on the vexed question of how best to position CDC7 inhibitors in cancer.
