Targeted drug treatment leads tumor cells to imitate viral infection

Broad Institute

Targeted drug treatment leads tumor cells to imitate viral infection By Ari Navetta July 11, 2024 Breadcrumb Home Targeted drug treatment leads tumor cells to imitate viral infection Exploiting "viral mimicry," mIDH1 inhibitors trick tumors into thinking they are infected with a virus.

Involvement of extracellular vesicles in the proinflammatory response to clozapine: implications for clozapine-induced agranulocytosis [Toxicology]

ASPET

Most idiosyncratic drug reactions (IDRs) appear to be immune-mediated, but mechanistic events preceding severe reaction onset remain poorly defined. Moreover, treatment of drug-naïve THP-1 cells with clozapine-exposed EVs induced an inflammasome-dependent response, supporting a potential role for EVs in immune activation.

4-1BB and the critical importance of local control

SugarCone Biotech

Targeting 4-1BB remained of interest to the immuno-oncology field as cell culture experiments and tumor models in mice suggested that robust anti-tumor immune responses could be triggered by anti-4-1BB antibody therapies. This is the T cell type most closely associated with anti-tumor immune responses.

Rare autoantibody diseases: an innovative targeted pathway

Drug Target Review

In pregnant individuals, maternal autoantibodies can even attack the organs and tissues of the foetus, 1-9 Many of these diseases are rare, with no safe, targeted, advanced and effective treatment options approved for patients in need. By stopping or blocking the normal work of these molecules, diseases can often be slowed or even stopped.

’1104: tackling the root cause of allergic disease

Drug Target Review

Additionally, ‘1104 increases the number of activated regulatory T and B cells, which help modulate the immune response and maintain immune tolerance, preventing the immune system from entering overdrive. As such, ‘1104 uniquely affects both the effector and regulatory arms of the immune response.

Phase III study evaluating canakinumab (ACZ885) as second or third-line treatment in combination with chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer

The Pharma Data

Ongoing Phase III studies in non-small cell lung cancer continue, evaluating canakinumab in earlier treatment settings. Pro-tumor inflammation enables tumor development by driving cancer-causing processes and by suppressing anti-tumor immune responses 9,10. Canakinumab is a first-in-class interleukin-1beta (IL-1?) 2 mg/L) 8,9.
