Nurix said Sanofi will stop the first-in-human Phase 1 trial of oral STAT6 degrader SAR448272 and end the program. Nurix no longer expects future milestone payments or royalties from this asset, while other licensed programs remain eligible for such payments. The November 3 announcement did not disclose the reason for discontinuation.
A Nature Materials study describes mRNA-loaded LNPs that reprogram tumor-associated macrophages into Claudin18.2-targeting CAR macrophages. The lipid formulation also promotes TREM2 internalization and degradation, reshaping immune responses. The original abstract reports tumor suppression and longer survival with PD-1 blockade in mice, plus ex vivo patient-sample findings. These findings do not demonstrate clinical efficacy in treated patients.
A Frontiers in Pharmacology review compares direct MCL-1 inhibition with approaches that reduce its abundance, including transcriptional interventions and targeted degradation. The original abstract highlights limited single-agent activity and cardiac safety concerns with inhibitors, while positioning degradation as an unvalidated clinical strategy. Biomarker-guided combinations and dynamic BH3 profiling are discussed; this review does not report a new clinical trial.
Evommune licensed EVO570, formerly HC118, from Hinova for development and commercialization outside Greater China. Upfront consideration totals $30 million: $20 million cash and $10 million in pre-funded warrants. Additional development, regulatory, and commercial milestones could reach approximately $1.1 billion, plus royalties. Phase 1 was expected to begin shortly; the announcement does not establish human efficacy.
