Frontier Medicines

An October 2025 company announcement and original structural study establish DCAF2 as an E3 for PROTAC-mediated degradation. This does not make the company's other clinical small molecules degraders.

Amphista previews BRD9 degradation findings and BRAMLIE trial design at ASH

Amphista announced an ASH oral presentation on AMX-883-mediated BRD9 degradation, describing disruption of hematopoietic transcriptional programs, myeloid differentiation, and reduced leukemic stem-cell frequency in experimental work. A separate abstract outlines the ongoing Phase 1 BRAMLIE study in AML and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. The announcement does not establish clinical efficacy for AMX-883.

Nurix previews updated bexobrutideg Phase 1 CLL/SLL findings for ASH

Nurix announced updated Phase 1a/1b findings for its oral BTK degrader bexobrutideg (NX-5948) in relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL. The ASH presentation will include patients previously exposed to covalent BTK inhibitors and data at the recommended Phase 2 dose of 600 mg once daily. The release describes durable activity without providing numerical response rates.

Bispecific protein drives dual receptor degradation in mouse eye-disease models

A PNAS study reports RHV, a tetravalent bispecific protein designed to internalize and lysosomally degrade VCAM-1 and VEGFR on pathological vessels. The original abstract describes activity in mouse choroidal neovascularization models, including efficacy comparable to aflibercept at one-quarter of the molar dose. This is preclinical extracellular receptor degradation, distinct from an intracellular small-molecule PROTAC.
