At this year’s AACR-NCI-EORTC conference, several presentations brought to light new ways to tackle the treatment of genomically unstable cancers. Genomically unstable cancers can be treated by exploiting their repair dependencies, inducing catastrophic DNA damage, or harnessing immune responses to instability.
Proxygen GmbH has divulged molecular glue degraders comprising a cullin-ring E3 ligase (CRL)-binding moiety acting as cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12)/cyclin K degradation inducers reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
