Pheast Therapeutics Inc. has announced the presentation of preclinical data for PHST-001, a therapeutic monoclonal antibody targeting CD24, a macrophage checkpoint.
At last week’s ASGCT meeting, Adicet Bio Inc. presented a new CAR T-cell therapy, ADI-270, for the treatment of CD70-expressing tumors. ADI-270 uses CD27 as the binding domain and 4-1BB co-stimulatory domains plus CD3.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have received a $5 million grant from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to support research aimed at developing new immunotherapies for different types of blood-based cancers.
Killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR)-chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies have previously demonstrated superior performance and functional persistence in solid tumor models, and the mesothelin-specific KIR-CAR T cells, Synkir-110, are now being evaluated in phase I trials by Verismo Therapeutics Inc.
Researchers from the University of Florida have developed a novel mRNA cancer vaccine that aims to reprogram the immune system to target and attack cancer cells effectively. The study led by Elias Sayour reported a new mRNA vaccine design where the mRNA payload was wrapped into a multilamellar vesicle within an onion-like hierarchical structure. The findings were published in the May 9, 2024 issue of Cell.
Researchers from Indiana University presented data from a study that aimed to assess the therapeutic potential of interleukin-9 (IL-9) blockade in the context of lung cancer.
α-Fetoprotein (AFP) is a tumor-associated antigen and an ideal target for T-cell receptor T-cell (TCR-T) therapy. While the safety of AFP-targeting TCR-T products has been previously demonstrated in early clinical trials, the efficacy of these cell therapies is still modest, warranting further research.
Researchers from Gempharmatech Co. Ltd. presented a new humanized mouse model for preclinical research into the functionality and therapeutic potential of IL-12.
