At the recent 2023 ASCO GI Cancers Symposium, researchers from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) presented results of a preclinical study that aimed to evaluate the potential of administering the cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor ribociclib with the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor alpelisib.
Researchers from Neoleukin Therapeutics Inc. have described NEO-TRA1, a novel CD25-targeted de novo non-α agonist of the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) designed to selectively expand Tregs.
The advent of bispecific antibodies bridging two different cell types has enabled a new level of cell specificity in cancer biology that has only recently begun to be realized in the clinic.
Researchers at GM Biosciences Inc. have reported developed a novel CD38xCD3 bispecific IgM T-cell engager IGM-2644 with 10 binding sites for human CD38 (Kd=0.27nM; measured by biolayer interferometry) and one anti-CD3 site (Kd=2.1nM) designed to reduce safety concerns.
Researchers from Beam Therapeutics Inc. presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of an engineered stem cell antibody paired evasion (ESCAPE) strategy for antibody (Ab)-mediated autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) therapy conditioning for the treatment of hemoglobinopathies.
Researchers from Nordic Nanovector ASA presented the discovery of a novel humanized anti-CD37 monoclonal antibody, NNV-024, engineered to exhibit a strong antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC).
