What changed

Nurix announced the first patient enrollment in NX-5948-203, a Phase 1b/2 trial combining the investigational BTK degrader bexobrutideg with venetoclax in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Initial enrollment focuses on relapsed or refractory disease. Conducted under the Roche collaboration, the study will assess safety, tolerability, and clinical activity to inform potential combination development across treatment settings.

Why it may matter

Combination testing could clarify how BTK degradation fits existing CLL regimens, but deeper responses and fixed-duration benefits remain hypotheses for evaluation.

The interpretation above is analysis, not a conclusion attributed to the original source.

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.

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.
