Retinoic acid receptor-γ (RARγ) agonism is a key factor in CD8 T-cell-mediated immunity to infectious pathogens. The lack of studies on the effects of RARγ agonists on in vivo tumor growth of triple-negative (TNBC) or HER2+ breast cancers make it necessary to investigate whether RARγ could play a critical role in T-cell-mediated immunity in these breast cancers, using novel RARγ nuclear agonists.
HST-1021 is a novel mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein (MALT1) allosteric inhibitor identified using the Smart Allostery Platform, and is being developed for the potential treatment of tumors.
