Researchers from Hibercell Inc. presented preclinical data for the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-α kinase 3 (PERK) inhibitor HC-5404, currently in phase I development for the treatment of solid tumors (NCT04834778).
Researchers from Kanaph Therapeutics Inc. have reported the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a small-molecule EGFR inhibitor, KNP-501, being developed as an anticancer agent.
Cell cycle dysregulation in cancer cells represents a clinical option for treating cancer, by using cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitory agents. Further evaluation on this approach was presented by TYK Medicines Inc., where they focused on the pharmacological action of a CDK7 inhibitor TY-2699a for the potential treatment of cancer.
Researchers from TYK Medicines Inc. have reported the discovery and preclinical evaluation of TY-1091, a second-generation RET inhibitor being developed for the treatment of RET-mutant cancers.
Data on the poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) inhibitor SYX-3759, being investigated for the treatment of homologous recombination deficient (HRD) malignancies, were recently discussed by researchers from Hangzhou Synrx Therapeutics Technology Co. Ltd.
IL-18 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that triggers IFN-γ production and increases T- and NK-cell activity. IL-18’s effects are blocked by IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), an endogenous protein that binds to IL-18 with high affinity and that is highly present in the tumor microenvironment (TME).
There is still a lack of specific biomarkers in biliary epithelial cells of patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Investigators from the...
Researchers from Bliss Biopharmaceutical Co. Ltd. presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of BB-1701, a new HER2-targeting eribulin-containing antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) being developed as a potential new anticancer agent.
