Harbour Biomed and Yantai Lannacheng Biotechnology Co. Ltd. have entered into a long-term strategic collaboration to jointly advance the development of next-generation radionuclide-drug conjugates for the treatment of cancer.
Adlai Nortye Ltd. has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Jiangsu Aosaikang Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (Ask Pharm) for its proprietary pan-RAS(ON) inhibitor AN-9025, an oral small molecule designed to target a broad spectrum of RAS mutations across various tumor types.
Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common malignant brain tumor, remains difficult to treat because cancer stem cells (CSCs) drive resistance and recurrence. Although the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib suppresses GBM cell growth and stem-like traits, its limited selectivity and off-target activity raise safety concerns, highlighting the need for more specific BTK inhibitors.
Shenzhen Targetrx Inc. has divulged proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising a cereblon (CRBN)-binding moiety covalently linked to Raf kinase B (V600E mutant)-targeting moiety through linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Researchers at Institute of Materia Medica Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College have identified 5’-nucleotidase (CD73) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, fibrosis, cerebral ischemia, depression, sleep disorders, Parkinson’s disease, immunological disorders and inflammatory disorders, among others.
China Pharmaceutical University has synthesized transcriptional enhancer factor (TEAD) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, fibrosis, metabolic diseases and inflammatory disorders.
Jiangsu Simcere Biologics Co. Ltd. has disclosed antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) comprising an antibody huAb-H3aL3-IgG1 targeting cadherin-17 (CDH17) covalently linked to a camptothecin derivative through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Nur77, also known as TR3 or NGFI-B, is a transcription factor of the NR4A nuclear receptor family. Previous research found that Nur77 has a dual role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression through regulation of oncogenes such as CCND2, E2F1, TXNDC5 and BIRC5, acting either as an oncogene or as a tumor suppressor depending on the cancer type.
Simcere Zaiming Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has obtained clinical trial approval from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for SIM-0610 to be studied in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
IMV-101 is a new CAR T-cell therapy targeting CD19 developed by Suzhou Immunofoco Biotechnology Co. Ltd. for the potential treatment of B-cell malignancies and autoimmune diseases. The company has presented results of the evaluation of its in vitro and in vivo properties.
