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

Standard of care GBM therapies include radiation and cytotoxic chemotherapy that lead to DNA damage. Subsequent activation of DNA damage response (DDR) pathways can induce resistance. Elimusertib, a novel ATR kinase inhibitor, can prevent repair of damaged DNA, increasing efficacy of DNA damaging cytotoxic therapies.

Targeting the immunotherapy potential of cytokines IL-12 and IL-18 with new advancements in protein engineering

Drug Target Review

Delivery of therapy is being evaluated through injections of DNA and RNA encoding IL-12, viral vectors, and other exploratory platforms designed to bring IL-12 in close proximity to the tumour and avoid excessive IL-12 in systemic circulation. Ultimately, our goal is for this approach to yield an enhanced cancer fighting response.
