Webinar overview
As conventional small molecules struggle to modulate so-called “undruggable” targets lacking accessible binding pockets, innovators are increasingly turning to targeted protein degradation (TPD), a modality that harnesses the cell’s intrinsic protein disposal machinery to selectively dismantle pathogenic proteins at their source. The surge of innovation in this space has given rise to a growing number of promising compounds that are positioned to reshape the therapeutic landscape.
This webinar explores how TPDs are transforming the industry’s approach to difficult-to-treat diseases, using our Drugs to Watch as examples:
- BGB-16673, PROTAC targeting BTK for the treatment of CLL and SLL
- Mezigdomide, a CELMoD under development for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma

Webinar overview
Historical research paradigms often excluded women, did not prioritize female-specific diseases or failed to account for sex-based differences contributing to inequitable health outcomes. As a result, individuals with ovarian cancer still experience late diagnosis and poor survival rates, a consequence of chronic underfunding. For breast cancer, which has benefitted from awareness and funding campaigns, the unmet need has shifted to precision therapeutics for the subtypes long considered untreatable. Meanwhile, women with bladder cancer have higher risks of recurrence, progression and cancer-specific mortality than men.
This webinar explores how innovation for these cancers is transforming health outcomes, using our Drugs to Watch as examples:
- Gedatolisib, a PI3K/mTOR inhibitor for breast cancer
- INLEXZO (TAR-200), intravesical administration of gemcitabine for bladder cancer
- Relacorilant, a selective glucocorticoid receptor antagonist (SGRA) for ovarian cancer
Join us to hear what it will take for these innovations to achieve durable clinical and commercial success. We will discuss pivotal clinical data, differentiation versus standard of care, the gaps these treatments address and the long-term implications for women’s health.
