In a recent study, researchers from Technische Universität Dresden and affiliated organizations evaluated the novel small-molecule inhibitor of the CBP/p300 HAT domain, A-485, as a potential therapeutic candidate for the treatment of hematological cancers and other pathologies related to blood leukocyte compartment.
Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Inc. celebrated a long-awaited win with the U.S. FDA’s approval late Sept. 9 of novel G-CSF drug eflapegrastim, cleared for use in chemotherapy-induced neutropenia nearly four years after the company first filed for regulatory approval.

Low-grade gliomas with mutated isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) produced and secreted higher levels of the cytokine granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) than other glioma types, which improved their antitumor immune response in animal models.
Manufacturing deficiencies were cited in the FDA’s complete response letter (CRL) for Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s Rolontis (eflapegrastim), a decision that will further delay to market in the U.S. what could be the *first novel G-CSF drug in more than 15 years to treat chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.
ORLANDO, Fla. – Two preclinical presentations at the 61st American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting could pave the way for using hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) in patients who are currently too sick to tolerate the procedure, as well as in indications where its toxicities preclude its use.
