Enliven Therapeutics Inc. has identified naphthyridine compounds acting as Raf kinase inhibitors and reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
A group of scientists from Basel University Hospital have designed an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that eliminated blood cancer cells without attacking healthy hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which they modified by base editing and transplanted to renew an altered blood system. They achieved this by focusing on the panhematopoietic marker CD45.
Scientists at Hansoh Bio LLC, Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. and Shanghai Hansoh Biomedical Co. Ltd. have disclosed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising HER3 (erbB3)-targeting antibodies linked to a cytotoxic drug through a linker.
Researchers from the University of Colorado presented preclinical data for the myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein Mcl-1 inhibitor S-64315, currently in phase I clinical development for the treatment of hematologic cancers.
Cartography Biosciences Inc. announced it has entered into a multiyear, strategic collaboration agreement with Gilead Sciences Inc. to discover and develop therapies for patients with triple-negative breast cancer and adenocarcinoma.
Bispecific T-cell-engaging antibodies have emerged as therapeutic options for the treatment of cancer, but limitations such as short half-life remain to be addressed. Researchers from Biontech SE reported the preclinical pharmacology and efficacy of BNT-142, a bispecific antibody targeting claudin-6 (CLDN6) and the T-cell marker CD3.
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC has described antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising antibodies targeting tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 (TACSTD2; TROP2) linked to exatecan through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
