Zelluna ASA has established a collaboration with Etcembly Ltd. that will focus on the engineering of high-affinity, tumor-specific T-cell receptors targeting KKLC1.
Dysregulation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway is frequently observed across a wide range of cancers and contributes to uncontrolled cell proliferation, enhanced cellular metabolism, and tumor progression.
A recent study published in Cancer Research by scientists at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (USA) and collaborators aimed to identify and characterize a target that elicits an anticancer response through both disrupting cancer cell redox homeostasis and increasing the immunogenicity of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
A patent from Gilead Sciences Inc. has divulged GTPase KRAS (G12D mutant) inhibitors and proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACS) comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety covalently linked to a GTPase KRAS (G12D mutant)-targeting moiety through linker.
B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), characterized by the clonal expansion of immature lymphoblastic cells, is traditionally treated with lengthy chemotherapy followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation (aSCT) for high-risk patients. However, patients with relapsed or refractory B-ALL still present a dismal prognosis.
Approximately 10%-15% of breast cancer cases are classified within the invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) type, and a great majority of them are estrogen receptor-positive (ER+). Despite the significant clinical differences between ILCs and invasive carcinoma of no special type (or ductal), ICL treatment still follows ductal paradigms, relying on endocrine therapy plus surgery and radiotherapy.
Great Novel Therapeutics Biotech & Medicals Corp.’s epigenetic immunoactivator, GNTbm-38, has received IND clearance from the FDA, enabling initiation of a phase I trial in the U.S.
Kestrel Therapeutics Inc. has obtained IND approval from the FDA for KST-6051, an oral, small-molecule pan-KRAS inhibitor being developed for the treatment of KRAS-driven cancers.
