The new approach in cancer therapy with innovative mechanism-of-action for ferroptosis induction

The Pharma Data

The new approach in cancer therapy with innovative mechanism-of-action for ferroptosis induction A team of researchers led by Dr. Marcus Conrad from Helmholtz Munich discovered a novel anti-cancer drug, called icFSP1, which sensitizes cancer cells to ferroptosis.

The future of lymphoma treatment

Drug Target Review

We use hydrophilic linkers, which prevent ADC aggregation and generate highly stable ADCs, in combination with a unique attachment site on the antibody to create ADCs that retain pharmacokinetic properties similar to the original unconjugated antibody. This helps to maximize the targeted payload delivery to tumor cells.

Looking beyond traditional oncogenic pathways to break cancer resistance

Drug Target Review

Most targeted cancer therapies used today operate by inhibiting targets along well-known oncogenic signalling cascades. The reactivation of oncogenic signalling upstream or downstream of the driving oncogene is a well-studied source of resistance to targeted cancer therapies.

7 These inhibitors have faced challenges such as dose-limiting toxicity and poor pharmacokinetics, but geldanamycin ADCs have demonstrated increased survival in mice. Dual payload ADCs As effective as therapies have been in treating solid and haematological cancers, tumour heterogeneity and resistance remain major clinical challenges.

Loxo Oncology at Lilly Announces Publication of Pirtobrutinib (LOXO-305) Phase 1/2 Data in The Lancet

The Pharma Data

Currently available BTK inhibitors irreversibly inhibit BTK and the long-term efficacy of these therapies can be limited by acquired resistance, most commonly through BTK C481 mutations. In rapidly growing tumors with inherently high rates of BTK turnover, resistance to covalent BTK therapies may be the result of incomplete target inhibition.
