Monte Rosa Therapeutics, Inc. Stock Price, News & Analysis

Monte Rosa Therapeutics (Nasdaq: GLUE) presented preclinical data on their CDK2-directed molecular glue degrader (MGD), MRT-9643, for treating HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer. The data shows that MRT-9643 demonstrates superior selectivity compared to clinical-stage CDK2 inhibitors and induced robust pathway suppression.

When combined with standard therapies, MRT-9643 achieved deep tumor regression in preclinical models. The compound showed deep CDK2 degradation in cellular assays and demonstrated enhanced downstream pathway suppression when combined with CDK4/6 inhibitors or triple combination therapy. The company plans to advance their CDK2 MGD program towards development candidate nomination in H1 2025.

Monte Rosa Therapeutics has provided an update on its Phase 1/2 study of MRT-2359 in patients with MYC-driven solid tumors. The study demonstrated a favorable safety profile and achieved targeted GSPT1 degradation levels using a 21 days on, 7 days off drug dosing schedule in heavily pretreated patients.

The recommended Phase 2 dose has been determined at 0.5 mg daily. The drug showed no signs of hypotension, cytokine release syndrome, or clinically significant hypocalcemia. The study enrolled patients with various tumor types, including NSCLC, SCLC, neuroendocrine tumors, prostate cancer, and breast cancer.

Safety assessments have begun for MRT-2359 in combination with enzalutamide for prostate cancer and fulvestrant for breast cancer. Additional clinical results, including biomarker and activity data, are expected in Q1 2025.

Monte Rosa Therapeutics announced Q3 2024 financial results and significant developments. The company secured a global license agreement with Novartis for VAV1-directed molecular glue degraders, including MRT-6160, receiving $150M upfront with potential for $2.1B in milestones. Key clinical programs include MRT-2359 for MYC-driven tumors with results expected year-end, and MRT-8102 targeting IL-1β with IND filing planned for H1 2025. Q3 financial results showed revenue of $9.2M and net loss of $23.9M. With the Novartis deal, cash runway extends into 2028.

Monte Rosa Therapeutics (Nasdaq: GLUE) has entered a global exclusive license agreement with Novartis for VAV1 molecular glue degraders (MGDs), including MRT-6160. The deal includes a $150 million upfront payment and potential milestone payments up to $2.1 billion.

Under the agreement, Novartis gains worldwide rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize MRT-6160 and other VAV1 MGDs, taking responsibility for Phase 2 clinical studies onwards. Monte Rosa will complete the ongoing Phase 1 study, share U.S. profits/losses, and receive tiered royalties on ex-U.S. sales. MRT-6160 is currently in Phase 1 trials for immune-mediated conditions.

Monte Rosa Therapeutics presented preclinical data on its cyclin E1-directed molecular glue degraders (MGDs) at the 36th EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium. The company's MGD compound, MRT-50969, demonstrated selective degradation of cyclin E1 in CCNE1-amplified solid tumors. The drug showed promising results in preclinical trials, including tumor growth suppression and regression in breast and gastric cancer models. Unlike CDK2 inhibitors, MRT-50969 exhibited higher selectivity and RB-dependent inhibition. The research revealed a new binding mechanism through cryo-EM analysis, suggesting broader applications for cereblon-based MGDs.

Monte Rosa Therapeutics (Nasdaq: GLUE), a clinical-stage biotech company developing molecular glue degrader (MGD)-based medicines, has announced its participation in two upcoming investor conferences:

1. Morgan Stanley 22nd Annual Global Healthcare Conference in New York, NY on September 4, 2024.

2. 2024 Wells Fargo Healthcare Conference in Boston, MA on September 5, 2024, where CEO Markus Warmuth, M.D., will participate in a fireside chat at 2:15 p.m. ET.

The fireside chat will be webcast and accessible through Monte Rosa's website, with an archived version available for 30 days after the presentation.

Monte Rosa Therapeutics (Nasdaq: GLUE) has initiated a Phase 1 clinical study for MRT-6160, a novel VAV1-directed molecular glue degrader (MGD) designed to treat systemic and neurological autoimmune diseases. The first participants have been dosed in the single ascending dose / multiple ascending dose (SAD/MAD) study involving healthy volunteers. Initial results, including biomarker data demonstrating pharmacodynamic effects, are expected in Q1 2025.

MRT-6160 is a potent, highly selective, and orally bioavailable MGD that targets VAV1, a key regulator of T- and B-cell receptor activity. Preclinical data suggest potential efficacy in various autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. The company plans to initiate proof-of-concept studies in ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis following the Phase 1 results.
