Journal: Targeted Therapy Approaches for MET Abnormalities in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 27, 2021 Following the discovery of MET as a potential therapeutic target, extensive clinical studies have proposed three approaches to targeting MET: (1) MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), including crizotinib, capmatinib, tepotinib, savolinitib, and cabozantinib; (2) MET or HGF monoclonal antibodies, including emibetuzumab and ficlatuzumab; and (3) MET or HGF antibody drug conjugates, including telisotuzumab. Herein, we discuss the relevant clinical trials, particularly focusing on the efficacy as well as the safety and tolerability of the treatment options, in the promising field of targeting MET in NSCLC.

Journal: Identification of Novel Potential VEGFR-2 Inhibitors Using a Combination of Computational Methods for Drug Discovery. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 25, 2021 Multiple small molecule inhibitors of the VEGFR-2 are approved for the treatment of different type of cancers, with one of the most recent, tivozanib, being approved by the FDA for the treatment of relapsed or refractory advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC)...We applied a combination of computational methods and approaches for drug design and discovery with the goal of finding novel, potential and small molecule inhibitors of VEGFR2, as alternatives to the known inhibitors' chemical scaffolds and components. From studying several of these compounds, the derivatives of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one and isoindoline-1,3-dione in particular were identified.

Targeting engineered interleukin-2 (IL-2) to antigen specific T cells via novel biologic platforms (Poster Hall) - Oct 1, 2021 - Abstract #SITC2021SITC_580; Emerging clinical data from our lead candidate CUE-101, which targets HPV-specific T cells in 2L+ R/M HNSCCC, provides PoC for the approach and builds confidence for broad applications in numerous cancers...Conclusions The IST, NST, and RDI-STAT platforms provide novel opportunities for selective targeting of IL-2 to tumor-relevant T cells while avoiding global immune activation and cytokine release. The scalability and versatility of NSTs highlight the potential to target multiple TAA T cell responses, while RDI-STATs highlight a novel means to harness antiviral immunity against cancer, especially in cases where the tumor may escape immune detection due to loss of HLA.

Tolerability of tivozanib vs. sorafenib in elderly and/or immunotherapy-pretreated patients with metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) in TIVO-3 (Poster Hall) - Oct 1, 2021 - Abstract #SITC2021SITC_377; P3 Prior IO was associated with less asthenia overall, more HTN with TIVO, and more rash but less diarrhea with SOR Conclusions Tolerability benefits with TIVO compared to SOR in mRCC are retained in elderly patients and those previously treated with IO. This finding, paired with consistently improved PFS in these subpopulations (age >65: HR 0.59, prior IO: HR 0.55), suggests TIVO is a safe and effective option in the context of the current R/R mRCC treatment paradigm ClinicalTrials gov Identifier: NCT02627963

Journal: Structure-based Virtual Screening and Molecular Dynamics Simulation Studies to Discover New SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease Inhibitors. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 21, 2021 Computational methods were used to filter two datasets (> 8,000 compounds) based on two criteria: higher binding affinity for M than cocrystallized inhibitor and binding interactions with M catalytic dyad (Cys145 and His41). After virtual screening involving ranking and reranking, eleven compounds were identified to satisfy these criteria and analysis of their structures revealed an unparallel common features among them which could be critical for their interactions with M. However, only the topmost scoring compound (AV-203: K = 0.31 µM) exhibited relatively stable binding interaction during the period of 50 ns MD simulation and thus is a suitable template for drug development.
