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.
Pinotbio Inc. recently reported a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), named PBX-004, consisting of an ITGB6-targeting antibody conjugated to a potent topoisomerase I (TOP1) inhibitor payload.
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.
South Korean researchers led by Lee In-suk of Yonsei University have reported the most complete oral microbiome catalog to date, with more than 72,000 genomes. Detailed in Cell Host & Microbe on Nov. 12, 2025, the database is expected to serve as a universal platform for academia and enable “precision microbiome medicine” for the industry, Lee told BioWorld.
Aurigene Oncology Ltd. recently provided details on the discovery and preclinical characterization of AUR-243, a novel CBL-B inhibitor with a distinct therapeutic profile and best-in-class potential compared to other inhibitors. AUR-243 was described as a structurally distinct, oral small molecule demonstrating excellent potency, functional activity and superior efficacy.
Commit Biologics ApS has released promising results from a nonhuman primate (NHP) study demonstrating proof of concept for its proprietary bispecific complement engager (BiCE) platform.
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.
Enara Bio Ltd. is staking a claim to having validated the first in a new class of tumor antigens derived from unannotated regions of the dark genome, describing its findings in talks and posters being presented at the Society of Immunotherapy in Cancer (SITC) meeting in National Harbor, Md., Nov. 5-9, 2025.
Researchers at Crossbridge Bio Inc. have conducted preclinical evaluation of CBB-120, a novel TROP2-directed dual-payload ADC designed to combine TOP1i and ATR inhibitor (ATRi) mechanisms for enhanced therapeutic efficacy.
