We’re excited to offer new testing solutions to help physicians identify patients with HER2 or FOLR1 expressing tumors, which may make them eligible for targeted therapies such as antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs). HER2 and FOLR1 testing by IHC is now available for all solid tumor cancers as an add-on to our xT or xR next-generation sequencing assays.

We look forward to disclosing first-in-patient clinical data at the coming ASCO. CS5001 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting ROR1 (receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1). CS5001 is uniquely designed using LCB's proprietary tumor-cleavable linker and pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) prodrug. Only after entering the tumor cells, are the linker and prodrug cleaved to release the PBD toxin, resulting in lethal DNA cross-links in cancer cells. This double safety measure effectively reduces toxicity associated with traditional PBD payloads, leading to a better safety profile and therapeutic window.

Yesterday was a monumental day for #cancer patients and for Strand Therapeutics. STX-001, the first-ever programmable mRNA therapy, entered the clinic in a Phase 1 trial for solid tumors.
Programmable mRNA therapies are based on groundbreaking technology with the potential to transform the treatment of cancer and other diseases.
To learn more, read on! (And if your at #ASCO, check out Strand's poster.)

1. Dr. Karen Tkach Tuzman of BioCentury Inc. provided an elegant analysis of tumor cell surface targets presented at AACR24 and ASCO24. Among these, five neuronal proteins stood out to me.
2. The five mentioned targets—SEZ6, EPHA5, CNTN4, SLITRK6, and NPTXR—are aberrantly expressed in solid tumors, while in neurons, these targets promote axon and dendrite growth and synapse formation.
3. Dr. Tuzman highlighted a key question for this target class: whether they will exhibit neurotoxicity. She noted that the low blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration of antibody-based therapies, particularly ADCs, could mitigate this risk.
4. The Destiny-Breast03 study shows that specific ADCs can effectively treat patients with brain metastases. However, since the study primarily enrolled patients with stable metastases post-local treatment, the efficacy in patients with active metastases remains uncertain.
5. The reason for T-Dxd's efficacy in patients with brain metastases is unclear. The integrity of the BBB can change due to pathological conditions like inflammatory diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis) and primary or secondary brain tumors. However, the blood-tumor barrier (BTB), formed when tumors disrupt BBB integrity, shows highly heterogeneous permeability within tumors and is characterized by active efflux of molecules.
6. The BBB and BTB in patients with brain metastases from primary cancers or brain tumors can be very heterogeneous. Therefore, the neurotoxicity of ADC drugs targeting proteins expressed in neurons warrants careful consideration.

When it comes to tumor surface targets for modalities like ADCs, we're always hearing about the usual suspects: HER2, TROP2, Claudin18.2. Using #ASCO24, #AACR24 and BioCentury Inc.'s BCIQ database, we shine a light on emerging targets off that beaten path, and see a trend toward targeting neuronal regulators hijacked by cancer. Were any of these targets on your radar?

Session: Cell Cycle, Transcription Regulation, and Anticancer Drug Action, Poster Section 21 Poster Board Number 7
Key Takeaways:
Flow cytometry is a key tool in cancer research, pivotal for assessing the effects of drugs on cell cycle regulation and for informing potential combination therapies.
In vivo and in vitro studies using cell cycle modulators like Palbociclib and DNA damaging agents like Cisplatin have shown modest tumor growth inhibition, underscoring their therapeutic potential.
While Palbociclib treatment induced G1 phase arrest, Cisplatin, Thymidine, and Nocodazole resulted in G2 phase arrest, highlighting the need for further research to optimize dosing and improve outcomes.
New natural products from Salvia demonstrate promising potential in cancer therapy. These tanshinolic compounds, particularly (±)-13e, exhibit significant Ah receptor inhibitory activity, resulting in the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and a boost in immune responses, promoting INF-γ secretion in CD8+ T cells.
