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.
Myeloid cells expressing LILRB2 are abundant in the tumor microenvironment and can both drive cancer progression and hinder immune responses. Thus, targeting LILRB2 offers a potential strategy to boost immune-based cancer therapies, as it counteracts their suppressive effects on pro-inflammatory pathways.
