Researchers from the Beijing Institute of Radiation Medicine have presented the discovery of novel toll-like receptor (TLR)2/1 agonists as potential candidates for the treatment of lung cancer.
Chong Kun Dang Pharm (CKD Pharm) has presented data on their c-Met-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) CKD-703 for the treatment of solid tumors. CKD-703 was designed based on site-specific conjugation, with a stable and homogeneous drug-antibody ratio profile.
Researchers from Axcynsis Therapeutics Pte. Ltd. presented the development and preclinical characterization of AT-2604, a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting the placental alkaline phosphatases, ALPP and ALPPL2.
Replay Holdings LLC and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center report that the FDA has cleared the IND application for PRAME TCR/IL-15 NK (SY-307), an engineered T-cell receptor natural killer (TCR-NK) cell therapy for relapsed/refractory myeloid malignancies.
A group of scientists from the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) have overturned a scientific dogma by demonstrating, for the first time, that DNA mutations are not essential for the development of cancer. The researchers temporarily disrupted gene silencing led by Polycomb proteins in fruit flies, and observed that this could produce tumors caused only by epigenetic changes, without permanent changes to the genome.
