While ADCs continue to attract attention in oncology, many developers remain focused on antibodies – overlooking the critical role of payload design. At Sygnature Discovery, Dr Joshua Greally is leading a shift in perspective, advocating for a payload-first approach through the company’s new platform, NewPath ADC. In this interview, he…
Radiopharmaceuticals represent a rapidly advancing field in oncology, using radioactive compounds to both detect and treat cancer at the molecular level. This article explores how targeted radiation is improving patient outcomes while reducing systemic toxicity.
Scientists have used AI to design a molecule that disrupts a key protein interaction driving up to 70 percent of cancers - once thought impossible to drug.
Preclinical and clinical development are critical to the success of ADCs, where early strategic decisions regarding manufacturability and scalability can make or break a project. Iwan Bertholjotti of Lonza emphasises the importance of proactive planning to avoid costly delays and ensure smooth progress towards clinical success.
Melika Davis at BeOne reflects on the inspiration and drive that has helped her forge a successful career in clinical operations.
K Navigator, a new AI-powered research co-pilot, is set to transform biomedical science by helping researchers explore complex data and accelerate discoveries.
Scientists have developed a new drug, SHP1705, that targets hijacked circadian clock proteins used by glioblastoma stem cells to grow and resist treatment.
CatalYm announces new preclinical data showing that its clinical-stage antibody, visugromab, can overcome resistance to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), showing potential to restore anti-tumour immune responses in solid tumours.
Enedra Therapeutics has secured new funding to advance its AI-driven CASPAROV platform, aimed at developing therapies for difficult-to-treat cancers
From first-in-human trial results to emerging AI tools and patient-focused innovations, AACR 2025 offered a clear snapshot of where cancer research is heading. Drug Target Review was on the ground in Chicago to explore the clinical data, technologies, and conversations shaping cancer drug development.
Researchers at the University of Michigan have discovered a powerful combination therapy that eradicates pancreatic tumours in preclinical models, offering hope for new treatments against one of the most treatment-resistant cancers.
Researchers have developed a test that accurately predicts whether patients with ALK-positive lung cancer will respond to targeted treatments. This could significantly enhance personalised cancer therapies and overcome treatment resistance.
Scientists at UT Health San Antonio have identified PSPC1 in mouse models as a promising new drug target for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), a deadly blood cancer with limited treatment options.
A government-funded research team has identified focal adhesion kinase (FAK) as a key driver of melanoma metastasis to the brain. This discovery could revolutionise treatment by not only addressing the condition but also preventing its spread to the brain.
