Researchers from Tscan Therapeutics Inc. presented preclinical data for TSC-200-A0201, a naturally occurring HPV16 E7-specific T-cell receptor (TCR) T-cell therapy discovered using Tscan’s proprietary Receptorscan platform. It is being developed for the treatment of human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16)-positive solid tumors. The therapeutic TCR in TSC-200-A0201 was introduced into a transposon vector, with the resulting TCR T therapy product being a mixture of cytotoxic and helper T cells, both reprogrammed to recognize HPV16+ HLA-A*02:01+ cells.
Protein tyrosine kinase 7 (PTK7) is a pseudo tyrosine kinase overexpressed in many cancer types such as ovarian, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), non-small-cell lung cancer, small-cell lung cancer and bladder cancer, but limited expression in normal tissues.
Researchers from Biocytogen Pharmaceuticals (Beijing) Co. Ltd. and Doma Biopharmaceutical (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. reported the discovery and preclinical data of DM-005, a novel fully human EGFR × MET bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) being developed for the treatment of cancer.
Invios GmbH and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have entered into a preclinical research collaboration to evaluate Invios' immune-activating small molecule, INV-501, as a potential treatment for glioblastoma.
KLRG1 is expressed on a subset of T and NK cells, with KLRG1+CD8+ T cells having demonstrated strong antitumor cytotoxicity by releasing IFN-γ and TNF-α.
Abbisko Therapeutics Co. Ltd. has received clearance from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to conduct clinical trials in China of ABSK-051, a novel small-molecule CD73 inhibitor, for advanced solid tumors.
Researchers from Umoja Biopharma Inc. presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of UB-VV200, a third-generation lentiviral vector containing a multi-domain fusion (MDF) protein consisting of a T cell-targeting anti-CD3 scFv and costimulatory proteins.
Researchers from Ambrx Inc. and Novocodex Biopharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. presented preclinical data for ARX-305, a next-generation anti-CD70 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), being developed for the treatment of CD70-expressing cancers.
