The inhibition of PD-L1 and VEGF individually or in combination has shown efficacy across several solid tumor types, but not all patients respond to therapy or respond for short duration. IMM-2510 is a novel bispecific antibody developed by Immuneonco Biopharmaceuticals Inc. that targets both PD-L1 and VEGF, thus achieving both angiogenesis inhibition and immune checkpoint blockade.
In a deal worth up to $840 million, Third Arc Bio Inc. is licensing Adagene Inc.’s Safebody technology platform to generate two masked CD3 T-cell engagers against unique tumor associated antigens.
Researchers from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Marengo Therapeutics Inc. previously developed a first-in-class, bifunctional therapeutic molecule (STAR-0602) that selectively activates V β6 and V β10 T-cell receptor-expressing T cells and boosts antitumor responses in human ex vivo tumor models.
Hutchmed (China) Ltd. has developed HMPL-A251, a novel HER2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) designed to deliver a potent PI3K/PIKK inhibitor directly to tumor cells.
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.
