Will Cancer Drugmakers Ever Conquer P53?
Elephants’ 20 copies of the TP53 gene give them a powerful p53‑driven cancer shield, while humans rely on a single copy that is frequently mutated. Restoring p53 function has long been labeled “undruggable,” leading to a string of high‑profile failures, most recently Boehringer’s brigimadlin. Nevertheless, several firms remain active: Kartos Therapeutics is testing navtemadlin in phase 3 myelofibrosis trials, and Ascentage Pharma reported a 16.7% response rate for alrizomadlin in advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma. These signals suggest the field may finally be moving beyond the dead‑end perception.
