Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase receptor Ret is a widely expressed oncogene and chromosomal rearrangements involving RET lead to fusion genes and RET kinase activation, which occur in lung cancer in about in 2% of cases of non-small cell lung cancer.
Researchers from Stanford University have published an article on the discovery of novel analogues of ponatinib that retained antitumor efficacy with substantially reduced cardiotoxicity.
Lift Biosciences Ltd. has shown that its first-in-class cell therapy destroyed on average over 90% of the tumoroid in a PDX (patient-derived xenograft) organoid across five solid tumor types, including bladder cancer, rectal cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer and squamous cell non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co KG has presented data on the identification of several potent and selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) of HER2 that are highly active against its oncogenic exon 20 YVMA insertion mutant (HER2 YVMA), which is the most prevalent HER2 exon 20 mutation in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Transcenta Holding Ltd. has received IND clearance from the FDA for TST-003, its first-in-class, high-affinity, humanized monoclonal antibody targeting gremlin-1.
The design of genetically modified exosomes that combine multiple targets killed cancer cells and conferred immunity against them. Scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) applied bioengineering techniques to introduce up to four antitumor functions in the same type of extracellular vesicles and destroy EGFR-positive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) tumor cells.
Wigen Biomedicine Technology (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. has identified Wee1-like protein kinase (Wee1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Volastra Therapeutics Inc. has announced new data from its lead program, a KIF18A inhibitor, validating its therapeutic approach of synthetic lethality to induce tumor cell death.
