Experimental compound targets circadian clock machinery in cells to fight glioblastoma

A series of preclinical studies show that a new compound, SHP1705, targets circadian clock proteins hijacked by glioblastoma stem cells, impairing the cancer cells’ ability to survive and grow. SHP1705 is also the first clock-targeting compound to complete a phase 1 clinical trial, where it was found to be safe and well-tolerated in humans. A summary of the research is published in the journal Neuro-Oncology.
