Five paragraphs out of RNS for you to keep reading.
LG Chem is now focused on progressing the PD-L1/XT oncology drug candidate towards the clinic and has commenced pre-clinical studies which are intended to form the basis of an Investigational New Drug ('IND') submission.
AffyXell also successfully completed a funding round in May 2022, raising an undisclosed amount of capital, to advance its lead mesenchymal stem cell programme towards the clinic, and to develop its wider pre-clinical pipeline of cell therapies.
Early in 2021, Avacta signed a licensing agreement with POINT Biopharma Inc. ('POINT'), to provide access to Avacta's pre|CISION™ technology for the development of tumour-activated radiopharmaceuticals.
Critically, analysis of a number of tumour biopsies obtained from patients in different cohorts has confirmed the release of the active chemotherapy, doxorubicin, in the tumour tissue. This analysis shows that AVA6000 targets the release of doxorubicin to the tumour tissue at therapeutic levels which are much higher than the levels being detected in the bloodstream at the same timepoint.
In each of these cancer models AVA3996 was as effective as Velcade in preventing growth of the human tumour implanted in the mice. However, whereas the systemic toxicities caused by Velcade resulted in significant body weight loss in the animals, treatment with AVA3996 showed no such toxicities. It is this potential improvement in therapeutic window of AVA3996 created by the tumour targeting of the proteasome inhibitor that holds promise for the first effective use of a proteasome inhibitor in solid tumours.
