Researchers from E-Therapeutics plc presented preclinical data for ETX-312, a GalNAc-conjugated short interfering RNA (siRNA), produced using the Galomic platform and being developed for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
Glioblastomas (GBMs) are the most malignant brain tumors and remain uncurable. Even after therapy, some glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) survive in the brain parenchyma and cause tumor recurrence.
The collaboration will combine Rondo’s proprietary CD28 co-stimulatory platform with Lilly’s drug development and commercialization expertise to develop co-stimulatory bispecific antibodies to treat solid tumors.
Beijing Avistone Biotechnology Co. Ltd. has obtained IND clearance from the FDA for ANS-03, a next-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting both ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1) and neurotrophic tropomyosin receptor kinase (NTRK).
Dewpoint Therapeutics Inc. has entered into a strategic research collaboration with Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corp. to advance Dewpoint’s novel small-molecule condensate modulator targeting TDP-43 for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Arrakis Therapeutics Inc. has presented data on its RNA-targeted small-molecule (rSM) drug program for the treatment of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). The company’s proprietary RNA‐specific chemical, biological and structural methods and RNA-directed medicinal chemistry enabled structure-based small-molecule drug design targeting the trinucleotide (CUG) repeat expansion in the mRNA of DMPK (myotonic dystrophy protein kinase) that drives DM1 pathology.
