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.
B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer. Although pediatric ALL is cured in over 90% of cases, children with high-risk BCP-ALL present increased chance of treatment failure and relapse.
