    Cybrexa Therapeutics today announced that preclinical cancer models have demonstrated that the peptide-conjugated drug (PDC) CBX-12 under development can enhance the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors


    Point inhibitors combined with chemotherapy are standard treatments for many solid tumors, but bone marrow suppression associated with chemotherapy can reduce the efficacy of immunotherapy


    So, is there any way to specifically target a wide range of tumor types while avoiding toxicity?

    One of the characteristics of all tumors is the acidic microenvironment


    This selective targeting of tumor cells' mechanism of action avoids the toxicity associated with the therapy's attack on healthy cells

    The researchers used a mouse model of colorectal cancer to further evaluate the effect of CBX-12 on the efficacy of PD-1 and CTLA4 immune checkpoint inhibitors


    Not only that, but mice that experienced complete tumor regression also showed long-term immune memory
