Bayer has cleared out four cancer candidates from its early-stage pipeline, including a STAT3 inhibitor acquired as part of its buyout of Vividion Therapeutics. (FierceBiotech) - "Vividion and Bayer 'made the strategic decision to discontinue the development' of VVD-130850 'based on the totality of the data, which includes safety, PK/PD and activity of the drug,'...The program consisted of a DGK-alpha inhibitor dubbed BAY 2862789 along with a DGKzeta Inhibitor called BAY 2965501....The final cancer drug thrown on the scrap heap was an anti-human CCR8 antibody called BAY 3375968 or lanerkitug."
