Factors influencing the Central Nervous System (CNS) distribution of the ATR inhibitor elimusertib (BAY1895344): Implications for the treatment of CNS tumors [Metabolism, Transport, and Pharmacogenetics]

ASPET

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a disease of the whole brain, with infiltrative tumor cells protected by an intact BBB. Standard of care GBM therapies include radiation and cytotoxic chemotherapy that lead to DNA damage. GBM has a poor prognosis despite aggressive treatment, in part due to lack of adequate drug permeability at the BBB.

How GPCR agonists, including antibodies, are shaping the future of metabolic care

Drug Target Review

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a cornerstone of modern drug discovery due to their crucial role in regulating human physiology and their involvement in numerous diseases. VHH-based therapies have been clinically-validated many times with multiple products in numerous indications, including for long-term dosing.

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.

ESMO Reflections: Glimmers of Hope with the Next Wave of I-O Therapies?

LifeSciVC

To that end, our Phase 1 monotherapy data hit the mark and showed early evidence of precisely what we were looking for: A dose-dependent pharmacokinetic profile that achieved target exposures at dose levels that were well-tolerated by patients.
