Forimtamig: a potent GPRC5D-targeted bispecific antibody in multiple myeloma. (PubMed, Ann Med Surg (Lond))
When combined with standard agents such as daratumumab, pomalidomide, or cereblon E3 ligase modulatory drugs, forimtamig has shown improved tumor clearance and reduced relapse rates. Currently undergoing phase 1 trials, forimtamig is being evaluated both as monotherapy and in combination regimens. Its high potency, favorable safety, and durable immune engagement make it a promising candidate in the evolving treatment landscape of multiple myeloma.

Pulmonary embolism associated with CRBN-targeting immunomodulatory drugs: a FAERS-based pharmacovigilance and mechanistic analysis. (PubMed, J Thromb Thrombolysis)
CRBN-targeting immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), including lenalidomide and pomalidomide, are widely used in hematologic malignancies but are associated with an elevated risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Early-onset PE risk is mechanistically linked to vascular endothelial injury and inflammatory signaling, supporting the use of dynamic risk stratification tools (e.g., IMPEDE-VTE score) and early DOAC intervention. Public health policy should integrate molecular insights with real-world surveillance to optimize clinical safety frameworks for oncology patients.

Understanding and addressing resistance to IMiDs immunomodulatory compounds in multiple myeloma. (PubMed, FEBS J)
Immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), including lenalidomide and pomalidomide in combination with proteasome inhibitors, dexamethasone and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies, play a central role in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) across newly diagnosed and relapsed stages. In this review, we explore current literature on the molecular and immune mechanisms related to the onset of therapeutic resistance. We then suggest ways to overcome resistance and exemplify options for the future, focusing on immunotherapy combinations with IMiDs or CELMoDs and novel agents.

Neuroinflammatory and Synaptic Roles of Glial Cells in Autism Spectrum Disorder. (PubMed, CNS Neurol Disord Drug Targets)
Interventions to correct glial dysfunction-e.g., anti-inflammatory medication (e.g., minocycline, ibudilast), gene therapy, and stem cell therapy-are investigated for their potential to restore glia to normal and diminish ASD symptoms. Understanding glial-neuronal communication mechanisms and their role in neuroinflammation offers a hopeful future for accurate, target-specific treatment. Advances in the elucidation of these processes will foretell an enormous increase in therapeutic efficacy and quality of life for individuals with ASD.

Ultrahigh-Throughput Liquid Chromatography with Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method for Targeted Protein Degradation Compound Screening Using the Orbitrap Astral Mass Spectrometer. (PubMed, J Proteome Res)
Utilizing this workflow, we studied dose-dependent protein degradation patterns induced by pomalidomide, iberdomide, and mezigdomide. Our results indicate that mezigdomide may possess enhanced efficacy in T cells by degrading additional proteins such as IKZF2, thereby boosting anticancer immunity. Together, we developed an ultrahigh-throughput LC-MS/MS method with excellent proteome coverage and quantitation accuracy that is highly suitable for chemoproteomics screening of drug libraries.

A lipid nanoparticle-based peptide-proteolysis-targeting chimera degrades BCL6 for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treatment. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
PROTAC LNPs were synthesized by modifying F1324 and pomalidomide aptamers onto LNPs via a covalent chemical reaction in a certain proportion...Overall, we developed a PROTAC that exhibited persistent and excellent BCL6 degradation ability in DLBCL, with an excellent safety profile. Thus, our BCL6 degrader provides a complementary approach to existing clinical‑stage candidates.

Photo-click Proteolysis-Targeting Chimeras Enable Intracellular Generation of PROTACs for Precise Dual Protein Degradation. (PubMed, Angew Chem Int Ed Engl)
A photocaged dibenzosilacycloheptyne (photo-DBSH) and the complementary azide were deployed to tag the oncoprotein ligands (i.e., (+)-JQ1 for BRD4 and Olaparib for PARP1) and the E3 ligase ligand (i.e., Pomalidomide for CRBN), respectively, for a proof-of-concept study and potential treatment for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Further in zebrafish models, PCPTAC promoted BRD4 degradation leading to thinner yolk sac extension and achieved 94% tumor inhibition in HeLa xenografts. This split-and-photoclick strategy paves a new avenue for developing safer and more efficacious PROTACs with synergistic antitumor effects.
