Poster Number: 124P
Session: Poster Display Session 2
Date and Time: Friday, July 4, 530-630 CEST
Location: Foyer, International Barcelona Convention Center, Barcelona, Spain
- - Presentation Title 2: "Novel CBM signalosome inhibitor revealed the essentiality of CBM signalosome for KRAS mutant colorectal cancer"
Poster Number: 125P
Session: Poster Display Session 2
Date and Time: Friday, July 4, 530-630 CEST
Location: Foyer, International Barcelona Convention Center, Barcelona, Spain
HotSpot's Innovative Approach
HotSpot Therapeutics is at the forefront of developing a new class of allosteric drugs. The company's innovative Smart Allostery™ platform employs advanced computational methods along with AI-driven data mining techniques to identify and exploit regulatory sites on proteins known as "natural hotspots." These sites are critical in controlling protein functions within cells and present meaningful opportunities for novel drug discovery.
Through their systematic approach, HotSpot aims to create potent and selective small molecules that exhibit unique pharmacological profiles. The implications for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancers are significant.
Focus on KRAS-Mutant Colorectal Cancer
KRAS mutations are among the most prevalent alterations found in colorectal cancer cases, contributing significantly to the diseases' aggressiveness and poor prognosis. The presentations by HotSpot at ESMO 2025 are expected to delve into how inhibiting the CBM signalosome may trigger synthetic lethality in tumors harboring KRAS mutations, thereby offering a promising therapeutic avenue.
A Commitment to Innovation
HotSpot’s dedication to unlocking the potential of allosteric therapies has led to a broad pipeline targeting various diseases, including the development of novel treatments for colorectal cancer. The company’s findings at this congress will likely resonate with the oncology community, fostering further discussions on the promising role of signalosome inhibitors.
As the congress approaches, industry stakeholders, researchers, and clinicians are eagerly anticipating HotSpot’s presentations, which are bound to contribute significantly to the landscape of cancer therapy. The research underscores the growing importance of targeting specific signaling pathways and enhancing therapeutic efficacy in challenging cancer types.
