Ewha Womans University has identified new imidazopyridine or imidazopyrazine derivatives acting as Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors potentially useful for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune disease.
Ewha Womans University has reported Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors described as potentially useful for the treatment of autoimmune disease and cancer.
Genentech Inc. is covering more bases in multiple sclerosis, with its latest swing on fenebrutinib hitting a rare phase III noninferiority win against Ocrevus (ocrelizumab) in primary progressive multiple sclerosis.
Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common malignant brain tumor, remains difficult to treat because cancer stem cells (CSCs) drive resistance and recurrence. Although the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib suppresses GBM cell growth and stem-like traits, its limited selectivity and off-target activity raise safety concerns, highlighting the need for more specific BTK inhibitors.
Targeted therapies and immunotherapies continue to show better results than chemotherapy in investigator-initiated and company-sponsored cancer trials, and newer options demonstrate improvements over older ones, supporting potential shifts in how patients are treated.
In a deal that could top $2 billion, China-based Innocare Pharma Ltd. licensed the exclusive worldwide development and commercialization rights to the BTK inhibitor orelabrutinib to Zenas Biopharma Inc. for multiple sclerosis and other indications aside from oncology.

At the 66th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting, a plethora of companies presented clinical trial data highlighting their drugs targeting Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) in patients with blood cancers.
Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors are commonly used in the treatment of hematological cancers. However, approximately 67% of patients with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) develop resistance to acalabrutinib and ibrutinib due to mutations in BTK, initially most often C481S.
Shandong New Time Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has disclosed compounds acting as Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases.
