Preclinical Results Demonstrate Complete Response and Tumor Regression in ACC PDX Models

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Pin Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company specializing in targeted protein degradation, announced on November 20 that it has administered the first dose of its CK1α-selective degrader PIN-5018 in a Phase 1 clinical trial. The first patient enrolled has adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), a rare malignancy with limited treatment options.

PIN-5018 is an oral CK1α degrader developed based on the novel hypothesis of “synthetic activation of p53.” The company is evaluating PIN-5018 as both a monotherapy and in multiple combination regimens. The Phase 1 study employs a dose-escalation design to assess safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and target engagement/pharmacodynamics (PD). Pin Therapeutics also plans to expand development into additional indications.

  • PIN-5018 Achieves Complete Response in ACC PDX Models

The company highlighted compelling preclinical data in ACC, a disease with no approved standard-of-care therapy. In two patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models, treatment with PIN-5018 resulted in a complete response (CR) in one model and marked tumor regression in the other, demonstrating robust antitumor activity and supporting clinical translation.

  • Expansion Planned into mCRPC, Colorectal Cancer, and Other Rare Tumors

Pin Therapeutics notes that CK1α plays a key biological role in resistance mechanisms that emerge during androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor therapy. Based on this insight, the company is pursuing a strategy aimed at enabling rapid entry into the first-line (1L) setting for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) through combination therapy with an AR signaling inhibitor (ARSI). In colorectal cancer, the company is advancing a clinical program based on the innovative concept of “synthetic activation of WNT signaling.”

  • Advancing Mechanism-Based Precision Oncology

Pin Therapeutics emphasized its commitment to mechanism-based precision oncology across its entire pipeline by applying sophisticated biological mechanisms. Ongoing initiatives include mode-of-action studies, integrated PK/PD analysis, and biomarker development to identify the most appropriate patient populations for each indication.

“Our goal is to leverage our innovative degradation modality and novel biological frameworks to provide meaningful therapeutic options for cancer patients with limited or no existing treatments,” Pin Therapeutics CEO Hyunsun Jo said. “We look forward to demonstrating the clinical value of PIN-5018 across multiple tumor types.”

Southern Cross University streamlines credit recognition across 300+ vocational pathways

-
  • More than 300 vocational-to-university pathways streamlined to give students clearer credit into Southern Cross University degrees.
  • Responds to the 2025 Jobs and Skills Report recommendations by smoothing movement between VET and higher education.
  • Coincides with Jobs and Skills Australia’s first regional Roadshow stop in Coffs Harbour, highlighting the region’s workforce needs and future skills demand.

GOLD COAST, Australia, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Southern Cross University is strengthening and streamlining its recognition of TAFE and vocational qualifications, improving clarity around existing pathways and enabling students to receive greater credit towards a wide range of undergraduate degrees.

The refined pathways framework draws together more than 300 formal credit arrangements already in place with TAFE and other Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). Most arrangements will grant four units of credit or more – delivered as block or elective credit – helping students reduce duplication of learning and transition more efficiently into high-demand careers.

These agreements span all major Southern Cross University faculties, including Health, Science and Engineering, Education, Business and Law, and The Hotel School, and cover qualifications ranging from Certificate IV through to Diploma and Advanced Diploma levels.

This announcement coincides with Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) bringing its national Jobs and Skills Roadshow to a regional setting for the first time tomorrow (25 November 2025). The event at Southern Cross University’s Coffs Harbour will examine local workforce needs, labour market trends, and the policy settings shaping future skills development.

JSA’s Jobs and Skills Report 2025 confirms that more than nine in 10 future jobs will require tertiary qualifications, highlighting ongoing gaps between the VET and higher education systems.

Clearer credit arrangements and smoother movement between VET and higher education are central recommendations of the report. The Southern Cross University pathways agreements put this into practice by providing students with a more direct pathway from vocational study to a degree-level accommodation.

Professor Tyrone Carlin, Vice-Chancellor of Southern Cross University, said improving credit pathways was central to supporting the region’s future workforce.

“Our mission is, and has always been, to serve our regions,” he said.

“By improving the way vocational learning connects into university study, we’re giving students a clearer path to the careers that sustain our communities and shape their futures. This is practical, meaningful reform that will have a lasting impact.”

Quotes attributable to Jobs and Skills Australia Commissioner Barney Glover AO:

“This year we’re coming to Coffs Harbour, a major regional centre, to connect with the incredibly strong professional and vocational expertise here.

“We know that the needs of our future workforce are changing and it’s fantastic to see Southern Cross University empowering their students by streamlining pathways between TAFE and university.

“These efforts will create closer connections between education sectors to better match skill supply with skill demand for both existing and emerging careers.”

A New Era for Lao Rugby: From Grassroots Fields to the National Games, Next SEA Games

Rugby made history as it officially debuted as a medal sport at the 12th Lao National Games, marking a transformative moment for the nation’s sporting landscape. 

The competition, held on 17 November during the Games’ 15 to 25 November schedule in Vientiane Capital, showcased both men’s and women’s teams, and demonstrated just how far rugby has come in Laos.

Xieng Khouang Province dominated the inaugural tournament, claiming gold in both categories. Vientiane Capital secured silver medals in men’s and women’s categories, while Bolikhamxay (men’s) and Vientiane Province (women’s) earned bronze.

“This moment reflects how far rugby has grown,” said Viengsamai “Vieng” Souksavanh, CEO of the Lao Rugby Federation (LRF). 

“From just three staff members and 300 athletes in one province, we now have over 20 staff, around 3,000 student-athletes, and active programs in four provinces. Today’s achievement shows that rugby is truly embraced at the national level.” Viengsavanh added.

From Schools to National Stage

Rugby’s journey to the national stage began quietly in the early 2000s. At the time, many Lao people had never seen the sport, and concerns about safety were widespread.

“Twenty years ago, rugby was new to everyone. People didn’t understand it, and many were worried about injuries,” Vieng recalled. “When we introduced tag rugby in 2015, everything changed. It helped authorities and communities understand the sport better and allowed participation to grow.”

That growth has been remarkable. 

According to Vieng, what started with a handful of players in one province has expanded into an inclusive, community-based ecosystem with school partnerships, club systems, and international collaboration. 

With support from World Rugby and Asia Rugby, the Federation has trained nearly 20 Lao instructors and established eight clubs nationwide.

More importantly, rugby has become a tool for education and empowerment. Through programs like Champs in the Community (CIC) and Champa Ban, thousands of young people,  many from underserved areas, have learned not only the rules of the game but also life skills, leadership, gender equality, and health awareness, he added.

Athletes Who Have Grown With the Game

For many athletes, rugby has been life-changing.

Vilayphone “Jieb” Chalernith, a Vientiane Capital player and LRF Communication Officer, started playing rugby in 2017 through non-contact formats. “Rugby gave me life skills, leadership, and gender equality awareness,” she said. Jieb later represented Laos at the 30th Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) in the Philippines in 2019.

“My expectation for the National Games was clear,  to win gold,” she said. Although her team took silver, she remains proud of their performance and continues to promote rugby among young women. 

Jieb added that due to a limited number of female athletes, Laos will not field a women’s team at the upcoming 33rd SEA Games in Thailand in December 2025.

Daophet Seolavong, a men’s player from Xieng Khouang, started playing rugby in 2015 after being selected for the Lao Naga U-13 team, which took him to England. He later joined provincial teams, eventually playing for Xieng Khouang.

“Rugby’s inclusion in the National Games for the first time is a huge moment,” he said. Daophet is also the only Xieng Khouang athlete currently in the pool for the Lao national team for the SEA Games, balancing provincial competition with national training.

Phonepasith Phetsomphu, Coordinator for the LRF in Vientiane Capital, first encountered rugby in Grade 8 when the sport was introduced at his high school. He went on to represent Laos internationally and eventually became a coach, returning to train high school students in his former school. 

“Playing rugby allowed me to travel, learn, and grow,” Phonepasith said.

Phonepasith served as a coach for the Vientiane Province team at the 12th National Games. “Returning as a coach, I’ve seen young athletes gain confidence, learn respect, and aspire to represent their provinces and the national team. Seeing them compete at the National Games is a proud, full-circle moment for all of us.”

Challenges Ahead and a Clear Vision for 2030

Despite its rapid growth, Lao rugby still faces challenges. Funding, limited facilities, public awareness, and competition with more established sports remain hurdles, even with support from World Rugby and Asia Rugby.

Yet the vision is ambitious. By 2030, when Laos hosts the SEA Games, the LRF aims to field strong, competitive teams capable of challenging the region’s best.

Rugby’s official inclusion in the National Games follows years of advocacy. First showcased at the 11th National Games in 2022 in Xieng Khouang Province, 2025 marks its debut as a medal sport.

“This recognition inspires more young people to join, strengthens our athlete base, and confirms that rugby belongs on the national stage,” said Viengsamai.

Looking ahead, the Lao national men’s team will compete at the upcoming 33rd SEA Games in Thailand from 9 to 25 December, marking the country’s return to regional competition after several years.

This landmark agreement marks a pivotal step in the establishment of MU CITY — a City of Dynamic Innovation in Energy, Mobility, and Urbanization, designed to accelerate Southeast Asia’s transition toward a low-carbon, digital, and inclusive future.

Signed in collaboration with the Karimun Regency Government, the agreement affirms a shared commitment to building a next-generation integrated industrial and innovation ecosystem. MU CITY is now firmly positioned as a regional gateway for clean energy, green manufacturing, advanced e-mobility, and data-driven intelligence — supporting Indonesia’s national roadmap for renewable energy and digital transformation. The MU CITY development represents an estimated USD 2.3 billion investment over the next three years, making it the largest single investment in Karimun to date.

A Dynamic City for the New Energy Era

Spanning 4,000 hectares, MU CITY will be powered by up to 2 gigawatts (GW) of solar power and an additional 2 GW of gas-based power, making it one of Southeast Asia’s largest integrated sustainable energy ecosystems. A major portion of this capacity will power the local industrial zones, data campuses, and mobility manufacturing clusters within MU CITY, while the remainder will be allocated for clean energy exports to ASEAN nations — reinforcing Indonesia’s role as a regional energy provider.

MU CITY will integrate three complementary development zones:

  • Clean Energy Hub – Anchored by large-scale solar power plants, advanced battery energy storage systems (BESS), LNG import facilities, CCGTs and blue ammonia tank complexes to support domestic decarbonization and regional export markets. This hub will serve as MU CITY‘s energy backbone.
  • Mobility & Manufacturing Hub – Dedicated to clean transportation innovation through electric vehicle assembly, battery manufacturing, AI chip ecosystems, and green industrial production aligned with Indonesia’s vision for electric mobility and advanced manufacturing.
  • AI & Digital Infrastructure Hub – Powering up to 1.21 GW of hyperscale data center capacity, purpose-built for artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and high-performance digital workloads — all powered by renewable energy generated within MU CITY.

Together, these interconnected hubs will position MU CITY as a leading force in clean innovation and digital transformation, redefining how energy, technology, and mobility harmonize with people and the planet.

Empowering Local Communities Through Partnership

Through close collaboration with the Karimun Regency Government, Aslan is implementing a cooperative and inclusive development model in which over 10,000 local residents actively participate and benefit from the project’s growth. This model offers opportunities for profit-sharing, equity participation, education programs, and technical training — ensuring that communities are true stakeholders in progress.

“MU stands for Mobility and Utility, and the Greek symbol μ reflects precision, high-performance computation, and technological innovation. MU CITY is a living example of how clean energy, digital innovation, and inclusive prosperity can thrive together. By empowering local communities to participate directly, we are proving that sustainability can be both profitable and people-centered,” said Dr. Muthu Chezhian, CEO of Aslan Energy Capital.

“Karimun proudly welcomes this partnership with Aslan Energy Capital as a meaningful step toward building a stronger, more sustainable local economy. We are confident that MU CITY will bring long-term benefits and the development of MU CITY not only brings clean technology and energy, but also opens up opportunities for employment, education, and ownership for the people of Karimun. We are committed to making this project a symbol of sustainable and inclusive progress,” said the Regent of Karimun Ing. H. Iskandarsyah.
