UTR Therapeutics Inc. has submitted an IND application to the FDA for UTRxM1-18, a novel therapeutic approach for targeting c-MYC-driven cancers. Pending approval, a first-in-human phase I trial is slated to begin next year.
Approximately 90% of all kidney cancers involve renal cell carcinoma, against which researchers are racing to find more effective therapies. One of the major challenges in treating this and other cancers is ensuring that the immune cells that infiltrate the tumor remain activated and mount effective responses.
Bristol Myers Squibb Co. has identified molecular glue degraders comprising cereblon ligands and a eukaryotic peptide chain release factor GTP-binding subunit ERF3A (GSPT1)-targeting moiety acting as GSPT1 degradation inducers reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Solute carrier family 25 member 19 (SLC25A19) is a transporter protein of thiamine pyrophosphate across cellular membranes, which is needed as a cofactor for multiple metabolic enzymes and is important for homeostasis regulation. It was hypothesized that SLC25A19 may be a pan-cancer marker and a therapeutic target, and more concretely in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
The expression of tissue factor (TF) is limited in normal tissues to the perivascular compartment where it acts as the receptor for the serin protease factor VIIa. This signaling axis triggers the initiation of extrinsic coagulation protease cascade.
Viverita Therapeutics Inc. has established a strategic research collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG aimed at accelerating the discovery and validation of novel therapeutic targets for cancer.
Canwell Biotech Ltd. has described tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 11 (PTPN11; PTP-2C; SHP-2) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
