星期三, 四月 10, 2024

When tested as a therapeutic vaccine in a melanoma cancer model, ARM-002TM leads to an 80% complete response when combined with the anti-PD-1 immune-checkpoint inhibitor.

Key Points: 
  • When tested as a therapeutic vaccine in a melanoma cancer model, ARM-002TM leads to an 80% complete response when combined with the anti-PD-1 immune-checkpoint inhibitor.
  • Compared to current anti-cancer strategies, vaccination can stimulate specific immune responses capable of potentially curing established tumors.
  • In addition, developed immune cells can lead to a long-lasting memory response capable of further protecting the patient from subsequent cancer relapses.
  • Although the ARMTM vaccine can effectively present antigens to responding T cells, the large amount of antigen preparation required to generate the cellular vaccine might represent challenges in the clinic.

AUSTIN, TX and DURHAM, NC, April 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shattuck Labs, Inc. (Shattuck) (Nasdaq: STTK), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of bifunctional fusion proteins as a new class of biologic medicine for the treatment of patients with cancer and autoimmune disease, today announced preclinical data demonstrating the therapeutic utility of TRIM7 inhibition to prevent or reverse acquired resistance to immune checkpoint therapy. These data were featured in an oral presentation during the AACR Annual Meeting 2024, being held from April 5-10, 2024, in San Diego, California.

Key Points: 
  • These data were featured in an oral presentation during the AACR Annual Meeting 2024, being held from April 5-10, 2024, in San Diego, California.
  • Our efforts in helping to define the underlying biology of acquired resistance were recently revealed with a publication in Cancer Cell,” said Taylor Schreiber, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Shattuck.
  • TRIM7 also contributes to PD-1 acquired resistance through ubiquitination and degradation of STING and MAVS.
  • A copy of the AACR presentation will be available on the Investors section of the Company’s website shortly after the event.

- The Phase 1/2 PROSPER clinical trial is currently evaluating FMC-376 in patients with KRASG12C cancers, regardless of prior KRAS inhibitor therapy BOSTON and SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Frontier Medicines Corporation, a clinical-stage precision medicine company seeking to unlock the proteome to advance transformational therapies against otherwise undruggable disease-causing targets, today presented new preclinical data on its KRASG12C inhibitor, FMC-376, at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2024 in San Diego, California. The new findings demonstrate FMC-376’s potential to overcome known mechanisms of innate and acquired resistance and in a CNS model of metastasis as a monotherapy and increase the efficacy of PD-1 immunotherapy in combination.

Key Points: 
  • “These data demonstrate FMC-376’s unmatched potential to overcome over 90 percent of known resistance mechanisms, including those cancers that have become refractory to approved KRAS inhibitors.
  • The differentiated dual direct mechanism of action of FMC-376 offers the potential to overcome the resistance and lack of response seen with current KRASG12C single-acting treatments.
  • These results reinforce that FMC-376 has the potential to overcome limitations of single-acting KRASG12C inhibitors.
  • The combination of FMC-376 with an immune checkpoint inhibitor also leads to an increased response and survival in preclinical models.

Bright Peak Therapeutics Presents New Data at the 2024 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting

星期二, 四月 9, 2024

Bright Peak has leveraged its world-class protein engineering capabilities to functionally optimize the master cytokine IL-18, by creating an IL-18 binding protein-resistant molecule and integrating it with PD-1 checkpoint blockade to create BPT567, a first-in-class PD1-IL18 immunoconjugate.

Key Points: 
  • Bright Peak has leveraged its world-class protein engineering capabilities to functionally optimize the master cytokine IL-18, by creating an IL-18 binding protein-resistant molecule and integrating it with PD-1 checkpoint blockade to create BPT567, a first-in-class PD1-IL18 immunoconjugate.
  • Antibody-cytokine conjugates leverage orthogonal mechanisms of action (MoA) in one molecule to induce potent antitumor immune responses.
  • “BPT567 is designed to coordinately engage antigen-experienced Teff cells that are known to co-express both PD-1 and the IL-18 receptor.
  • It is anticipated that this profile could ultimately contribute to an improved risk-benefit profile for BPT567 in the clinical setting”.

    When not activated, MDNA113 shows reduced IL-2R agonism with no change to PD-1/PDL-1 blockade activity.
  • MDNA113 selectively binds IL-13R⍺2 positive tumor cells in vitro, and durably accumulates (>7 days) in IL-13R⍺2 positive tumors in mice.
  • Single neoadjuvant treatment with MDNA113 in a highly invasive orthotopic 4T1.2 breast cancer model significantly increases survival by preventing metastasis.
  • It will be also available on the Scientific Presentations page of Medicenna’s website following the conclusion of the 2024 Annual Meeting of AACR.
