Scientists at Daegu-Gyeongbuk Medical Innovation Foundation and Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology have synthesized phenaleno-isoquinolinium-based compounds reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Nextcure Inc. has reported IND clearance from the FDA enabling initiation of a phase I trial of LNCB-74, a B7-H4-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) being developed for various cancers.
The effective targeting of RAS-mutant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) still remains a challenge; RAS mutations are tied to relapse to targeted therapy, such as resistance to FLT3 inhibitors due to the RAS/MAPK pathway, for example.
Researchers from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have successfully replicated the design of regulatory T cells, achieving local targeted immune suppression and protection from CAR T-cell cytotoxicity. Many of the treatments used so far in the context of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders lead to systemic immunosuppression. In this sense, limiting immunosuppression locally to targeted tissues may help overcome systemic toxicity.
Wigen Biomedicine Technology (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. has divulged compounds acting as histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) and/or 2 (HDAC2) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
