Synnovation Therapeutics Inc. has described heterocyclic compounds acting as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NFE2-related factor 2; NFE2L2; NRF2) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Lanova Medicines Ltd. has synthesized antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising antibodies targeting sialyl-Tn antigen (STn) linked to an exatecan derivative through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Wigen Biomedicine Technology (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. has disclosed phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase α (PI3Kα) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of solid cancers and hematological cancers.
The ALS Association has announced the recipients of its 2025 Hoffman ALS Clinical Trial Awards. These research grants, worth up to $1 million each, support early-phase trials that generate critical data to accelerate the development of new amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) treatments.
The overexpression of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) is tied to poor prognosis in several cancer types, including osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma, and is therefore a potential therapeutic target in these cancers. In this regard, Avammune Therapeutics Inc. is developing an ENPP1 inhibitor – AVA-NP-695.
Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) helps promote the survival of cancer cells, and degrading it can sensitize tumors to immunotherapy against PD-1. Degrading the entire protein seems to be essential: merely blocking its kinase activity does not sensitize tumors.
Avencell Therapeutics Inc. has received clinical trial clearances from the FDA and EMA to conduct a phase I/II trial (Quadvance) of AVC-203 for the treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies.
