Coultreon Biopharma BV has synthesized new macrocyclic cellular tumor antigen p53 (TP53) (Y220C mutant) stabilizers potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
X-linked Alport syndrome is an inherited kidney disease caused by pathogenic mutations in the COL4A5 gene. Patients develop hematuria, proteinuria and kidney function decline leading to end-stage renal disease. Nionyx Bio Inc. has developed ONYX-101, a novel kidney-targeting therapeutic designed to ensure durable COL4A5 restoration through dual-vector AAV delivery using NYX capsids that were optimized for kidney targeting.
Kolon Life Science Inc. is developing KLS-3021, a next-generation oncolytic vaccinia virus designed to express the PH20, IL-12 and PD-1-Fc transgenes to mediate receptor-independent tumor cell killing and enhance antitumor immune responses.
Cell therapy based on fibroblasts has shown promise in the treatment of psoriasis due to immune modulation capability and strong expansion when cultured. Work at Fibrobiologics Inc. has focused on the impact of culture format and donors of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) on the therapeutic efficacy and immune responses in murine models of psoriasis.
Biomunex Pharmaceuticals SAS has entered into strategic collaborations with two AI-specialized companies – Gordion Bioscience Inc. and Tangramed Biotech SAS – as part of its strategy to integrate AI into its R&D activities and support the development of next-generation immunotherapies in oncology.
Circio Holding ASA and Aavigen GmbH have entered a research collaboration focused on developing circVec-enhanced AAV vectors engineered for targeted, low-dose gene therapies for heart diseases.
Newcelx Ltd. has submitted a pre-IND briefing package to the U.S. FDA to support a proposed first-in-human trial of NCEL-101 in combination with tegoprubart, an investigational anti-CD40L monoclonal antibody being developed by Eledon Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Eli Lilly and Co. has offered to buy three vaccine companies for up to $3.8 billion combined, including up to $1.55 billion for Vaccine Company Inc., whose in vivo nanoparticle (IVN) technologies are designed to enable antigens that elicit durable immune responses, much like virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines, but avoid the VLP manufacturing burden.
Yantai New Drug Creation Shandong Laboratory has prepared and tested new heterocyclic amide compounds acting as ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 1 (USP1) inhibitors potentially useful for the treatment of cancer.
