Tuesday, March 5, 2024

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crossbow Therapeutics, Inc., a biotechnology company focused on advancing T-Bolt™ therapies, a novel class of antibody therapeutics that mimic T-cell receptors (TCR-mimetics), today announced the nomination of its first development candidate, CBX-250, a first-in-class, potent, and specific T-cell engager (TCE) for the treatment of myeloid leukemia.

Key Points: 
  • The oral presentation will provide an overview of the preclinical characteristics of CBX-250, which targets a cathepsin G (CTSG) peptide-human leukocyte antigen (pHLA) complex.
  • The complex is abundantly expressed on leukemic cells, but not on normal cells, allowing CBX-250 to target cancer cells efficiently while sparing normal myeloid cells.
  • “Nominating CBX-250 as a development candidate validates our initial scientific hypothesis, and it brings us a step closer to entering the clinic and ultimately helping to cure cancer,” said Briggs Morrison, Chief Executive Officer of Crossbow.
  • Working with MD Anderson’s ORBIT platform, a core component of the institution’s Therapeutics Discovery division , Dr. Molldrem led the development of a TCR-mimetic binder to the CG1 pHLA complex, which Crossbow licensed for the development of off-the-shelf cancer immunotherapies.

Global BCR ABL Inhibitor Drug Market Opportunity: > USD 8 Billion

Key Points: 
  • Global BCR ABL Inhibitor Drug Market Opportunity: > USD 8 Billion
    BCR ABL Inhibitors Drugs Clinical Trials By Company, Indication, and Phase: > 20 Drugs
    Clinical Insight On Approved BCR ABL Inhibitors Drugs: 10 Drugs
    BCR ABL inhibitors have transformed the treatment landscape for patients of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
  • Imatinib was the first BCR ABL inhibitor to be approved for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia, and as a first-generation inhibitor, its clinical and commercial success led to the development of more efficient BCR ABL inhibitors.
  • However, with the presence of other BCR ABL inhibitors in the market and more in the pipelines, sales of BCR ABL inhibitors are expected to dominate over generic drugs' sales.
  • Scemblix (Asciminib) was the most recent BCR ABL inhibitor to be approved for sale in the market for the treatment of BCR ABL mutation-positive chronic myeloid leukemia and patients having the T315I mutation.

Pusan National University Researchers Uncover Novel Gene That Regulates Leukemia Development and Progression

BUSAN, South Korea, Feb. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Leukemia, a type of blood cancer, affected around 2.3 million people around the world in 2015. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML)—a particularly aggressive disease—generally starts in the bone marrow, when stem cells cannot differentiate into white blood cells, which reduces the number of healthy blood cells in the body, leading to a very weak immune system, among other problems. Given the prevalence and implications of this disease, there has been a lot of research on the development and progression of leukemia. This has led to the discovery of a protein, stimulator of interferon genes (STING), which interacts with two other proteins—TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6)—to exert anti-cancer effects in blood cancers. Researchers have also observed that a particular gene—surfeit 4 (SURF4)—is highly expressed in leukemic cells, and its protein, SURF4, binds to STING. However, we are still unclear about how SURF4 affects the STING-TBK1-STAT6 axis, and what role it plays in leukemia. So, a team of researchers from Pusan National University, Republic of Korea set out to understand this. They were led by Professors Dongjun Lee and Yun Hak Kim, who explain the rather humanitarian motive for their research. "Children who suffer from AML relapses seldom survive. This makes studying the mechanisms of AML very important. Uncovering the effects of proteins like SURF4 may lead to new therapeutic strategies for AML, which hasn't happened in four decades". The team ran a series of experiments, the findings of which are detailed in a letter to the editor, published on 6 November 2022 in Cancer Communications.
