Researchers from Byondis BV and Sanquin Bloedvoorziening have published preclinical data on a new signal-regulatory protein α (SIRPα)-directed antibody, BYON-4228.
A new study has discovered a promising approach to improve the efficacy of adoptive cell therapies for cancer. The research, published in Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, describes the development of novel Fas-TNFR chimeras acting as decoys for the Fas ligand and preventing it from binding to its natural receptor on the surface of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells.
Research at Pathios Therapeutics Ltd. has led to the identification of tricyclic psychosine receptor (GPR65) antagonists reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, asthma, acute respiratory distress syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and autoimmune diseases.
A recent Glaxosmithlline Intellectual Property (No 4) Ltd. and Ideaya Biosciences Inc. patent describes the development of thiadiazolyl derivatives acting as DNA polymerase θ (POLQ) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Researchers from Etern Biopharma (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. recently reported the discovery and preclinical characterization of ETS-003, a novel YAP/TAZ-TEAD protein-protein interaction (PPI) inhibitor, being developed for the treatment of cancer.
It is known that the Hippo/YAP signaling pathway plays a crucial role in cell proliferation and tumorigenesis; is thought to contribute to 10% of all cancer types. TYK Medicines Inc. has presented a novel YAP/TEAD interaction inhibitor compound, TY-1054, as a potential approach for treating cancer with dysregulated Hippo/YAP pathway.
Cancer immunotherapy candidate BSI-508, a bispecific fusion molecule targeting PD-1 and CD47, is undergoing early development at Biosion Inc., who recently presented preclinical data on the product.
Researchers based at Uppsala University in Sweden have created an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector treatment for glioma or glioblastoma that extended survival in a mouse model of the brain cancer. Writing in the May 11, 2023, issue of Cancer Cell, the researchers reported that by introducing an inflammatory protein known as LIGHT to the tumor microenvironment using the AAV treatment, the mice were better able to fight the cancer.
S-Adenosylmethionine synthase isoform type-2 (Mat2A) inhibitors have been described in an Insilico Medicine IP Ltd. patent as potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
