Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) occurs in 3% of all pediatric cancers. Aberrant Hedgehog (Hh) activation can be ligand-dependent or -independent, but current clinical Hh inhibitors targeting SMO are effective only for ligand-independent tumors. Researchers at Vall d’Hebron Institut de Recerca, Barcelona, Spain, developed a targeted therapeutic for Hh ligand-dependent tumors.
At the recent Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer meeting, researchers from Dong-A ST Co. Ltd. presented preclinical data for the novel small-molecule general control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2) inhibitor, DA-4507, being developed for the treatment of cancer.
Elpiscience Biopharma Ltd.’s ES-005 is a new high-affinity monoclonal antibody (MAb) that blocks human lymphocyte-activated gene 3 (LAG3) from binding to several ligands, such as major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II), liver and lymph node sinusoidal endothelial cell C-type lectin (L SECtin) and fibrinogen like 1 (FGL1).
Increased expression and elevated levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 play a role in impaired cardiac function. These MMPs make for essential targets in the treatment of heart failure, specifically heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Researchers from Assembly Biosciences Inc. presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of novel small-molecule hepatitis B (HBV) and D virus (HDV) entry inhibitors.
HER2 is a receptor tyrosine kinase and well-established oncogenic driver with mutations present in various types of tumors such as bladder urothelial carcinoma, uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma, stomach adenocarcinoma and breast cancer.
