Country

United Kingdom

The cancer charity Cancer Research UK has chosen a bispecific protein therapeutic as a new development project, electing to take the molecule, CB213, into a Phase I clinical trial in patients with solid tumours. The therapeutic is being developed by Crescendo Biologics Ltd, which announced a partnership with the charity on 5 May. Crescendo has a preclinical portfolio of molecules targeting a range of cancers. The molecules are small, and based on the variable domain of the heavy chain of an antibody.
