Although tricomplex pan-RAS (ON) inhibitors, such as RMC-6236, constitute a promising class of therapeutics against RAS-driven cancers, their on-target, off-tumor toxicities challenge the dosing strategy and the safety of drug combinations.

CIS Biopharma AG recently presented an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting the L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM/CD171) as a potential candidate for the treatment of advanced tumors.

Sutro Biopharma Inc. has outlined its next-generation antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) pipeline following recent IND clearance and initiation of phase I for its tissue factor-targeting ADC, STRO-004.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) carrying topoisomerase I (TOP1) inhibitors, such as trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), have achieved notable clinical success in HER2-positive and HER2-low cancers, but their broader application is challenged by payload-related safety issues and emerging resistance.

Neok Bio Inc. was formed earlier this year and is already on schedule to file an IND in a few months for its two bispecific antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) to treat various types of tumors. The biotech got a leg up on development from its principal investor, Korean biotech ABL Bio Inc., where the discovery work was accomplished.

Not quite a newco, Alethio Therapeutics has emerged from a period of introspection with new management and a refreshed vision of how best to translate its roots in the biology of chronic, untreatable blood cancers into meaningful therapies.
