Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy has shown success in the treatment of liver cancer and may reverse immune tolerance in chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Aligos Therapeutics Inc. has presented preclinical data on the characterization of ALG-093940, a small molecule PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor that induces PD-L1 dimerization and degradation.

Innovent Biologics Inc. and Pfizer Inc. have entered into a strategic global licensing and collaboration agreement for the research and development of 12 new breakthrough early-stage and de novo cancer medicines.

The human pancreas often contains lesions that are common in the population and that, although they can become malignant, usually do not. To understand when this occurs and how these pancreatic cancer precursor lesions, known as pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanIN), evolve, scientists at the University of Michigan analyzed their gene expression patterns and their cellular microenvironment.

Multiple updates on TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for lung and breast cancers highlight both progress made and opportunities for improvement for the targeted class of cancer therapeutics.
