Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are crucial to trigger anticancer immune responses. Despite the promise of TLR agonists as potential anticancer agents, few have reached the clinics due to concerns related to cytokine release syndrome and limited efficacy.
Among the most profound results presented at the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology Congress were the 10-year data from the Checkmate-067 and Keynote-006 trials of Opdivo and Keytruda as first-line agents in advanced or metastatic melanoma in which 10-year overall survival topped 40%. The success of checkpoint blockade, however, has not extended to all tumor types, but in 2024, molecular studies have led to advances in gene therapies and a multitude of approaches that have opened the door to hope.
Innovent Biologics Inc. has entered into a collaboration and exclusive license agreement with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. to advance the development of IBI-3009, a novel DLL3-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) candidate.

Due to its dual role in adaptive immune responses, modulation of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) is considered a potential strategy to both boost cancer immunotherapies or reduce self-antigen generation in the context of autoimmune diseases.

Solve Therapeutics Inc. has identified antibody-drug conjugates comprising an UC-961 antibody or a tyrosine-protein kinase transmembrane receptor ROR2 (ROR2)-targeting antibody covalently linked to exatecan through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Cstone Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. has filed a clinical trial application in Australia seeking to initiate a first-in-human study of CS-2009 for solid tumors. The company plans to initiate a multi-regional trial for CS-2009 in Australia early next year, followed by expansion into China and the U.S.
