Prelude Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage oncology company, which engages in the development of novel precision cancer medicines. The company is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware and currently employs 131 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2020-09-25. The company has developed a diverse pipeline consisting of multiple distinct programs: kinases, targeted protein degraders, and precision antibody drug conjugates. Its product candidates include PRT3789, PRT2527 and PRT7732. PRT3789 is a highly selective degrader of SMARCA2 protein, which, along with SMARCA4, controls gene regulation through chromatin remodeling. Its CDK9 program is an essential regulator of cancer-promoting transcriptional programs, including those driven by MCL1, MYC and MYB. PRT2527 is designed to be a potent and selective CDK9 inhibitor that has the potential to avoid off-target toxicities observed with other less selective CDK9 inhibitor. PRT7732 is a highly selective and orally bioavailable SMARCA2 degrader.
