At the 2025 Annual Congress of the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR), researchers from Cardiff University and collaborators presented their research on the role of BCL3 in tumor progression and the therapeutic potential of TNAT-101.
Archeus Technologies Inc. has obtained IND clearance from the FDA for ART-101, a novel receptor-based targeting small molecule for the imaging and treatment of prostate cancer.
Harbour Biomed Ltd. has established a global strategic collaboration with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. to advance BCMAxCD3 bispecific T-cell engagers for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
Aptevo Therapeutics Inc. has added a preclinical candidate, APVO-455, to its portfolio of CD3-directed candidates built on the CRIS-7-derived CD3 binding domain.
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has been a game changer in the treatment of B-cell malignancies, although their manufacturing process is complex and needs lymphodepletion, thus limiting their use. Researchers from Capstan Therapeutics Inc. have recently published data regarding an in vivo engineering approach to generate CAR T cells using targeted lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for mRNA delivery to specific T-cell populations for the treatment of cancer and B-cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.
In recognition of the fact that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are necessary prerequisites for precision medicine, the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) announced the launch of a DEI Hub at its 11th Congress, which is being held in Helsinki through June 24. “We know now that when we talk about personalized medicine, we have to understand that talking about stroke, for example, in a woman is different than talking about stroke in a man,” EAN president Elena Moro told the audience at the opening session of the conference.
Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. has described macrocyclic compounds acting as DNA polymerase θ (POLθ) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Jiangsu Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. and Shanghai Hansoh Biomedical Co. Ltd. have divulged protein arginine N-methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Blueprint Medicines Corp. has identified proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety covalently linked to a cyclin dependent kinase 2 (CDK2)-targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Astrazeneca AB has synthesized proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising a protein cereblon (CRBN) binding moiety covalently linked to an estrogen receptor α (ER-α)-targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of breast cancer.
