Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. and Shanghai Hengrui Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. have identified new BCL6 degradation inducers potentially useful for the treatment of autoimmune disease and cancer.
Shanghai Helioson Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has patented molecular glue degraders comprising cereblon (CRBN) binding agents acting as proto-oncogene Vav (VAV1) degradation inducers found to be potentially useful for the treatment of autoimmune disease and cancer.
Researchers from Zhejiang University of Technology and collaborators presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of YSA-64, a novel RBM39 degrader, in cancer models.
Kymera Therapeutics has developed KT-579, a potent and selective IRF5 degrader as a novel approach for treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren disease.
Amphista Therapeutics Ltd. has obtained IND clearance from the FDA for AMX-883, an orally bioavailable degrader of BRD9, for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A phase I trial in patients with relapsed or refractory AML and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome is expected to begin in the second half of this year.
