About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Avacta to Present First Dual Payload pre|CISION® Medicines Data at the 2025 EORTC-NCI-AACR International Conference on Molecular Targets Symposium

LONDON and PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avacta Therapeutics (AIM: AVCT, ‘Avacta’, ‘the Company’), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing pre|CISION®, a unique oncology delivery platform, today announces that the Company will present data on its first dual-payload peptide drug conjugate (PDC) at the 2025 AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics in Boston on October 25.

The data highlights the Company’s proprietary development enabling two complementary drugs to be delivered via a single pre|CISION® medicine, representing the first dual payload PDC in the field. Data presented will be in vitro proof of mechanism for this platform innovation.

Drug combinations are commonly used in cancer therapy to improve outcomes and mitigate against resistance. This novel approach extends the pre|CISION® technology to allow for the selective and controlled release of two cancer-targeting payloads directly in the tumor, from a single molecule via fibroblast activation protein (FAP) cleavage.

Previously, development of the pre|CISION® platform focused on optimizing the delivery of single payloads to the tumor microenvironment leveraging the cleavage event by FAP, expressed in more than 90% of solid tumors. The new dual payload innovation expands the platform’s versatility, opening potential for more complex and effective oncology treatments.

Christina Coughlin, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Avacta, said: 

“The development of the first dual payload peptide drug conjugate platform marks a major leap forward in oncology therapy. This significantly extends the potential of our innovative pre|CISION® platform by implementing combination cancer therapy in a single medicine.

“This new IP builds on the success of our FAP-EXd (AVA6103) program, where we invented a sustained release delivery mechanism with the platform. Our novel implementation of the platform extends this observation to now release two drugs from one pre|CISION® molecule. The key factor here is our ability to target the tumor with a cytotoxic drug and attack the known resistance mechanism all in one cancer medicine. By building on the prior knowledge, we have now extended the reach to highly-resistant cancers by targeting key resistance mechanisms.

“This drug combination approach demonstrates the value we are building in our proprietary pre|CISION® technology by further underlining its flexibility and unique potential to expand into novel oncology therapeutic approaches.

“We look forward to presenting the full data at the 2025 EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium later this month.”

Event details are below and are available online on the 2025 EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium website.

About Avacta – www.avacta.com

Avacta is a clinical stage life sciences company developing an innovative proprietary drug delivery peptide drug conjugate (PDC) platform, pre|CISION®. The pre|CISION® platform uniquely enables the repurposing of a range of oncology drugs as PDC payloads with the goal to significantly reduce toxicity and side effects for patients by concentrating the drug directly in the tumor.

About pre|CISION®

The key aspect of pre|CISION® is its peptide drug conjugates (PDC) technology. The combination of the cancer drug and the proprietary cleavable peptide (the PDC) is inert and incapable of entering cells and killing them until the peptide is specifically released within the tumor. The active payload in the pre|CISION® PDC is released when the PDC comes into contact with the common tumor-associated protein, known as fibroblast activation protein (FAP), in the tumor. The release of the payload from the pre|CISION® product directly in the tumor results in higher concentration of the drug at the tumor and lower blood and healthy tissue levels than standard systemic administration, offering the potential to improve efficacy and patient tolerability.
