Innate Pharma SA has obtained IND clearance from the FDA for IPH-4502, its novel and differentiated topoisomerase I inhibitor antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) conjugated to exatecan targeting Nectin-4 in solid tumors. In nonclinical models, IPH-45 was well tolerated and showed antitumor efficacy in vitro and in vivo.
Investigators from Abzyme Therapeutics LLC have hypothesized that inhibiting this pathway in the CNS may prevent tissue damage and cease the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS).
Nicox SA has entered into an exclusive research and license option agreement with Glaukos Corp. for NCX-1728, Nicox’s novel nitric oxide (NO)-donating phosphodiesterase PDE5 inhibitor.
Argenx SE’s ARGX-119 is a monoclonal antibody (MAb) targeting the muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) Frizzled (Fz)-like domain, and has entered early clinical development for the treatment of neuromuscular diseases.
Gastric cancer (GC) is among the most malignant tumors in terms of incidence and mortality. Early diagnosis can improve the survival rate of patients, but there is a lack of effective biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of GC. Zinc finger protein 1 homologue (ZFP1) plays an important role in transcriptional regulation during embryonic development. Its homologue, MLLT10, had been found to promote carcinogenesis in leukemia and colon cancer, but limited knowledge exists on the role of ZFP1 in cancer.
Tambo Inc. has described conjugates consisting of payloads covalently linked to trans-cyclooctene through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
CK Regeon Inc. has divulged indirubin derivatives acting as CXXC-type zinc finger protein 5 (CXXC5)/DVL interaction inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of skin lesions, wounds, neurodegeneration, metabolic disorders and bone disorders.
Vanderbilt University has identified leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2; dardarin) and LRRK2 (G2019S mutant) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of tauopathies, cancer, Crohn’s disease, type 1 diabetes, leprosy, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer’s disease, among others.
Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG has synthesized NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of atherosclerosis, cancer, pulmonary hypertension, inflammatory bowel disease, influenza, retinopathy, sepsis and wet macular degeneration (exudative), among others.
