A study published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation found that CXCL11 may help drive endocrine resistance in some hormone receptor-positive breast cancers. Researchers said ED-resistant tumors had increased immune signaling and may be more responsive to immunotherapies.
Iterion Therapeutics has dosed the first patient in a phase 1/2 trial of its Wnt/β-catenin inhibitor tegavivint for metastatic colorectal cancer. The expansion builds on promising monotherapy activity observed in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, targeting a pathway activated in over 90% of colorectal cancer patients.
