Astrazeneca plc has provided data for their CD22-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) AZD-4512 under development for the treatment of B-cell malignancies, which still have significant rates of disease resistance and relapse, as well as treatment-related toxicities.
Chengdu Kangnuoxing Biopharma Inc. and Keymed Biosciences Co. Ltd. have identified antibody-drug conjugates comprising antibodies targeting carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5; CEA; CD66e) covalently linked to a cytotoxic drug through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Hangzhou Zhongmei Huadong Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has disclosed antibody-drug conjugates consisting of antibodies covalently linked to a cytotoxic drug through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Molecules that specifically bind to tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) are crucial for the diagnosis and therapy of cancer. In a recent publication in Molecular Therapy: Oncology, researchers from Université de Nantes presented a novel tailored-made affitin for targeting human mesothelin (hMSLN), which is a TAA overexpressed in many solid cancers and targeted by several experimental drugs.
Oxford Biotherapeutics Ltd. has entered into a multiyear, multitarget strategic collaboration with GSK plc to discover novel antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer.
Akari Therapeutics plc has released new preclinical data indicating the therapeutic potential of AKTX-101 in pancreatic cancer driven by KRAS mutations. AKTX-101 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that delivers a novel RNA spliceosome modulating payload, PH1, into cancer cells that express TROP2.
Immutep Ltd.’s stock surged 31% on Tuesday morning following the news that it out-licensed rights to Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. to develop and commercialize eftilagimod (IMP-321, efti) in selected territories in a deal worth AU$528.4 million (US$349.5 million).
Genome & Co. has divulged antibody-drug conjugates consisting of antibodies targeting basal cell adhesion molecules (BCAM) covalently linked to a cytotoxic drug through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Investigators from Secarna Pharmaceuticals GmbH & Co. KG recently presented data for their antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) SECN-15 that targets and downregulates the expression of neuropilin-1 (NRP1), a transmembrane co-receptor that promotes tumor progression in several tumor types, including breast and gastric cancers.
Evidence suggests the composition of the gut microbiome modulates a tumor’s response to therapy. Maat Pharma SA has thus developed Microbiome Ecosystem Therapies (METs) that replicate, at a large scale, the effects of the gut microbiome in people who respond to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy.
