Scientists have discovered that a protein linked to prostate cancer is associated with more aggressive disease and could be a new target for treatment. The team at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, UK, have shown that the BCL2 protein was abundant in a subtype of advanced prostate cancer which has stopped responding to hormone therapy. The researchers estimate that around 10% of people with prostate cancer have high levels of this protein.

CDR-Life has announced new developments to its programme of antibody-based T cell engagers (TCE) targeting intracellular tumour antigens MAGE-A4 and PRAME via the major histocompatibility complex. The first patient has been dosed with CDR404, a novel, bispecific and bivalent antibody fragment-based TCE targeting MAGE-A4. MAGE-A4 is an intracellular cancer-specific protein that is cleaved into smaller peptide fragments and presented on HLA-A*02:01 molecules at the surface of cancer cells.
