Kahimmune Therapeutics SAS has signed an exclusive licensing agreement with Gustave Roussy and SATT Paris-Saclay. Created at the end of last year as a spin-off of Gustave Roussy and SATT Paris-Saclay, Kahimmune builds on the latest discoveries in immunology relating to the dark genome.
ABL Bio Inc. has submitted an IND application to the FDA seeking clearance to begin a phase I trial of ABL-209 (NEOK-002). Pending approval, the trial is expected to begin by mid-year in the U.S.
Onchilles Pharma Inc. has obtained IND approval from the FDA for N-17350, enabling initiation of first-in-human studies in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study will enroll patients in the U.S. and Australia with advanced solid tumors.
Kazia Therapeutics Ltd. has announced promising preclinical and translational data supporting the development of NDL-2, a protein degrader targeting a newly identified mechanism of immunotherapy resistance and metastatic progression.
To address the dual bottlenecks of immunosuppressive cell infiltration and impaired T-cell function in the tumor microenvironment (TME), researchers from the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Sun Yat-sen University (China) aimed to develop an engineered bispecific peptide-nanozyme conjugate (BsPNEC) targeting PD-L1 and CXCR1/2.
Bone metastasis represents a challenge in cancer therapy because of the independency of immunosuppression, neuropathic pain and osteolytic destruction. Recent evidence has suggested the tumor microenvironment can be reshaped through the activation of stimulator of interferon genes protein (STING) and pyroptosis induction.
Despite the successful application of adoptive T-cell transfer with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T cells for the treatment of various hematologic malignancies, several other hematologic disorders, such as BCR::ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), still lack effective treatment options.
Akari Therapeutics plc has unveiled a new pipeline candidate, AKTX-102, an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) directed against CEACAM5, a novel target highly relevant in gastrointestinal and lung cancers.
Starkage Therapeutics SAS has established a research collaboration with Gustave Roussy to characterize cellular senescence induced by standard-of-care treatments in a series of digestive cancers.
Researchers from Leiden University Medical Center previously demonstrated that the junction adhesion molecule-independent mutant (jin-3) reovirus, which is a double-stranded RNA virus not associated with severe human disease, presents extended tumor tropism compared to wild-type reoviruses.
