A recent study explored the therapeutic potential of hu128.1, a humanized antibody targeting transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1), in treating erythroleukemia using xenograft mouse models. The results demonstrate that hu128.1 exerts strong antitumor activity against human erythroleukemic (ERY-1) cells, highlighting its promise as a candidate for managing this aggressive cancer.
Folate receptor α (FOLR1) is highly expressed in the surface of tumoral cells in several cancer types, while it shows limited expression in normal tissues. CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. has developed a next-generation antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting FOLR1 – SYS-6041 – for the treatment of mid-to-low FOLR1-expressing tumors.
Drug resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors, occurring via secondary mutations or bypass pathways, is frequent among non-small-cell lung cancer patients.
Claudin-6 (CLDN6) is a protein found in the tight junctions of epithelial cells to modulate their permeability and barrier function, among other actions.
Aptevo Therapeutics Inc. is advancing APVO-711, its bispecific antibody targeting PD-L1 x CD40 that combines checkpoint inhibition with immune activation in a single molecule.
Approximately 90% of all kidney cancers involve renal cell carcinoma, against which researchers are racing to find more effective therapies. One of the major challenges in treating this and other cancers is ensuring that the immune cells that infiltrate the tumor remain activated and mount effective responses.
The expression of tissue factor (TF) is limited in normal tissues to the perivascular compartment where it acts as the receptor for the serin protease factor VIIa. This signaling axis triggers the initiation of extrinsic coagulation protease cascade.
Cadherin 17 (CDH17) is a membrane-bound cell adhesion molecule involved in tumor cell proliferation and is selectively overexpressed in several gastrointestinal malignancies, including colorectal cancer, gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer.
