Perseus Proteomics Inc. and Ube Corp. have disclosed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising antibodies T004b-PGAP-1 targeting human P-cadherin (CDH3) targeting covalently linked to cytotoxic drug through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Weatherwax Biotechnologies Corp. has prepared and tested cellular tumor antigen p53 (TP53) (Y220C mutant) activators reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Akari Therapeutics plc has released preclinical data demonstrating the potential of its novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) spliceosome modulating payload, PH1, for the treatment of tumors driven by alternative splicing-drivers, such as the androgen receptor splice variant 7 (AR-V7) in prostate cancer.
Amphista Therapeutics Ltd. has disclosed first data on its TEAD oncology therapeutic program. The company’s TEAD Targeted Glues are inherently smaller and more drug-like molecules than conventional PROTAC binders.
The oncofetal antigen 5T4 is a cell surface glycoprotein overexpressed in many solid tumors, while its expression in normal tissues is limited, making it an attractive target for cancer therapies. Its association with tumor progression and poor prognosis further supports its therapeutic potential.
The FDA has awarded orphan drug designation to Cure Rare Disease’s CRD-003 for the treatment of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type R9 (LGMD2i/R9), a congenital muscular dystrophy caused by biallelic mutations in the FKRP gene.
