Profile
Develops precision-oncology drug candidates through a discovery engine spanning cancer biology, medicinal chemistry, and clinical development. Its pre-commercial pipeline centers on PRT12396, a mutant-selective JAK2V617F inhibitor, and PRT13722, an oral KAT6A degrader.
Develops precision-cancer medicines by combining cancer biology, medicinal chemistry, and clinical-development capabilities. The clinical-stage, pre-commercial pipeline centers on PRT12396, a mutant-selective JAK2V617F inhibitor in Phase 1 for polycythemia vera and myelofibrosis, alongside PRT13722, an oral KAT6A degrader at the IND stage.
The company also maintains precision degrader-antibody conjugate discovery. It operates as a single segment with no product sales, so its work depends on clinical progress, regulatory clearance, and financing. Prelude retains ownership and development responsibility for the JAK2 program while Incyte holds an option to acquire it during the option period.
