Researchers from Duality Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. presented preclinical data for a novel Trop-2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), DB-1305, being developed for the treatment of solid tumors.
Researchers from the University of Zaragoza and Promontory Therapeutics Inc. have discovered that PT-112, which has a multimodal mechanism of action, could have different clinical applications in cancer treatment due to its effects on mitochondria in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). PT-112 is an immunogenic small molecule currently in phase II development in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The researchers designed PT-112 to target advanced solid tumors, such as thymus, small-cell, non-small-cell lung or CRPC.
Dystroglycanopathies are a subset of rare congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs) caused by dysregulation in the assemblage of glycans on the α-dystroglycan (α-DG) transmembrane glycoprotein.
Recent findings have unveiled some integrins are associated with Mendelian conditions. In a recent study, researchers directed efforts toward studying integrin-beta 8 (ITGB8) and its association with pathology, especially with neurological pathology, as none of them have been linked to neuropathology to date.
Researchers from Bridgebio Pharma Inc. presented preclinical characterization of the novel next-generation KRAS G12C GTP/GDP dual inhibitor candidate, BBO-8520, being developed for the treatment of cancer.
Researchers from Bayer AG presented the discovery of BAY-2927088, a new noncovalent tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting EGFR exon 20 insertions and C797S resistance mutations in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Targeting TEAD with small-molecule inhibitors is an emerging therapeutic strategy for YAP/TAZ-dependent human cancers with Hippo pathway alterations. Bridgene Biosciences Inc. identified three hits with the Isobaric Mass Tagged Affinity Characterization (IMTAC) screening platform that covalently bound to TEAD1 with the binding site being cysteine 359, which led to the BGI-9004 compound.
