Polyoxygenated cembrane-type diterpenes from the Hainan soft coral Lobophytum crassum as a promising source of anticancer agents with ErbB3 and ROR1 inhibitory potential. (PubMed, Acta Pharmacol Sin)
Among them, Compounds 10, 17, and 20 exhibited significant antiproliferative activities with IC50 values of 1.92-8.82 μM, which are very similar to that of the positive control doxorubicin. Molecular mechanistic studies showed that the antitumour activity of Compound 10 was closely related to regulation of the ROR1 and ErbB3 signalling pathways. This study may provide insight into the discovery and utilization of marine macrocyclic cembranoids as lead compounds for anticancer drugs.

Receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 inhibitor strictinin exhibits anti-cancer properties against highly aggressive androgen-independent prostate cancer. (PubMed, Explor Target Antitumor Ther)
Strictinin was further identified as synergistic with docetaxel [combination index (CI) = 0.311] and the combination therapy was found to reduce the IC of strictinin to 38.71 µmol/L in PC3 cells. ROR1 is an emerging molecular target that can be utilized for treating prostate cancer. The data from this study establishes strictinin as a potential therapeutic agent that targets AR-AI prostate cancer with elevated ROR1 expression to reduce the migration, invasion, cell cycle progression, and survival of prostate cancer.

Development and Testing of a Glycoengineered Anti-ROR1 Antibody with Enhanced Capacity for Directing Antibody-Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity (ADCC) of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Cells (ASH 2023)
Co-culture of Jurkat-Lucia cells for 6 hours with the anti-CD20 mAb rituximab and MEC1 or MEC1-ROR1 cells induced Jurkat-Lucia cells to express a luciferase reporter gene under the control of an ISG54 minimal promoter fused to six NFAT response elements; this endowed the Jurkat-Lucia cells with high luminescence activity that was not observed in co-cultures of EC and TC without added mAb. ROR1 + CLL cells harboring del(17p) or mutations in TP53 (del(17p)/m TP53) and/or that were resistant to targeted therapies (e. g. , inhibitors of BTK or BCL2), were as susceptible to GE-zilovertamab-directed ADCC as were CLL cells without del(17p)/m TP53 from patients who had not had prior therapy. These data demonstrate that GE-zilovertamab can direct high-level ADCC lysis of ROR1-expressing neoplastic cells with greater activity than zilovertamab, encouraging development of clinical studies to evaluate GE-zilovertamab for therapy of patients with CLL or other ROR1-positive cancers.

Phase 1/2 Study of Zilovertamab and Ibrutinib: Durable responses suggest a novel mechanism for synthetic lethality in TP53 aberrant disease. (IWCLL 2023)
Zilo + Ibr is well-tolerated with a safety profile that is comparable to Ibr alone. For pts with CLL, Zilo + Ibr is very active and results in durable remissions. The PFS and OS for the subgroup with TP53 mut/del(17p) are particularly encouraging in reference to other trials of BTK inhibitors, maintaining 100% PFS and OS at ∼42 mos.

Generation and preclinical evaluation of a novel ROR1-specific CAR T-cells against chronic lymphocytic leukemia (IWCLL 2023)
We utilized the humanized scFv binding domain of zilovertamab (formerly UC-961 and then cirmtuzumab), which showed high affinity and specificity for human ROR1 and a highly favorable safety profile in Phase-1 clinical evaluation [1]...We conclude that lentivirus encoding this anti-ROR1 CAR construct can generate anti-ROR1 CAR T cells using T cells of healthy donors or patients with CLL that are highly effective in killing ROR1-expressing leukemia cells in vitro or in vivo. Moreover, the anti-ROR1 CAR T cells generated using this construct may provide for selective killing of CLL cells without affecting normal CD19/CD20-expressing B cells of patients with CLL, thereby mitigating the risk for further enhancing immune deficiency, such as observed in patients treated with anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy.

Collectively, our study indicated that dexamethasone up-regulated ROR1 levels on gastric cancer cells. ROR1 participated in and mediated the role of dexamethasone in promoting gastric tumor growth, and blocking ROR1 can prevent the tumor growth.

Clinical Grade ROR1 CAR T-cells against Haematologic and Solid Malignancies (EHA-EBMT-CART 2023)
Clinical studies using ROR1 targeting antibodies (Zilovertamab) to treat hematologic malignancies did not reveal relevant clinical toxicity, encouraging the initiation of clinical trials to assess the safety and efficacy of ROR1-CAR-T therapy... With this novel protocol, we aim to obtain the first manufacturing license for CAR-T in Europe that integrates our optimized approach with SB100X mRNA and MC for CAR gene-transfer on the MaxCyte transfection platform. The quality of the drug product supports the developement of a clinical trial with ROR1-CAR-T, and will serve as a blueprint for other CAR-T products.

Preclinical Assessment of Immunogenicity and Protectivity of Novel ROR1 Fusion Proteins in a Mouse Tumor Model. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Finally, results of tumor challenge in immunized mice showed that immunization with TT-mROR1-Fc fusion proteins completely inhibited ROR1+ tumor cells growth in two different syngeneic tumor models until day 120 post tumor challenge. Our preclinical findings, for the first time, showed that our fusion proteins could be considered as a potential candidate vaccine for active immunotherapy of ROR1-expressing malignancies.

Pre-Clinical Development of a First in Class Half-Life Extended T Cell Engager Targeting ROR-1 (ASH 2022)
We have generated a first in class ROR1 targeting half-life extended TCE that maintains the functional and biophysical properties of the clinically promising NVG-111. Our systematic evaluation suggests that careful selection of HLE format is critical for the development of a molecule with good yield, biophysical characteristics and potency. The selected ROR1 HLE-TCE supports weekly administration whilst maintaining potency at sub-nanomolar concentrations, properties which differentiate it from other TCEs in development.
