What changed

Nurix and Gilead agreed to extend research on an undisclosed oncology program by another two years, marking the program’s second extension. Their collaboration uses E3 ligases to induce degradation of selected targets. Nurix retains options, subject to restrictions, to share development, commercialization, and profits and losses equally in the United States for up to two programs.

Why it may matter

Continued partner investment supports the discovery platform, although undisclosed targets and candidate details limit assessment of the program’s specific development prospects.

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.
