Cytoskeleton-associated protein 2 (CKAP2) is the most potent microtubule growth factor identified so far and is considered an undruggable protein, often associated with malignant progression in cancer by targeting the FAK-ERK2 signaling pathway. Using its proprietary platform, Soley Therapeutics Inc. has discovered a small molecule that modulates CKAP2 – STX-6398.
Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (HPK1) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that is expressed in the hematopoietic compartment, exerting regulatory functions in myeloid and innate immune cells. It has been associated with decreased T-cell activation and proliferation.
Shanghai Qingrun Pharmaceutical Technology Co. Ltd. has discovered new GTPase KRAS mutant inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
China’s National Medical Products Administration approved Innovent Biologics Inc.’s NDA for Tabosun (ipilimumab N01, IBI-310) in combination with sintilimab as neoadjuvant treatment for stage IIB-III resectable microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair deficient colon cancer.
