T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive form of leukemia that accounts for around 25% of ALL cases. In recent years, novel strategies have emerged to reduce the dependence on intensive chemotherapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, but there is still a need for new options with better efficacy in this setting.
The identification of novel immunotherapeutic targets for the treatment of biliary tract cancer (BTC) is still a need. It has been reported that galectin-9 (GAL-9) is expressed in BTC and induces immunosuppressive effects, such as inducing apoptosis in T cells when binding to its receptor TIM-3.
Researchers from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have reported the discovery of SJ-3149, a novel selective CK1α degrader being developed for the treatment of cancer.
Researchers from Springworks Therapeutics Inc. and affiliated organizations presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of a novel covalent and irreversible YAP/TAZ-TEAD inhibitor, SWTX-143, being developed for the treatment of mesothelioma.
Ratio Therapeutics Inc. has closed a $50 million series B financing to expand application of its proprietary technology platforms, Trillium and Macropa, to develop novel best-in-class radiopharmaceuticals.
