Monte Rosa Therapeutics - Key Firsts and Accomplishments

From serendipity to rational design of MGDs

Built a proprietary molecular glue-based targeted protein degradation platform developing breakthrough

therapeutics that selectively degrade disease-causing proteins

Established a target-centric drug discovery approach combining experimentation with AI enabling rational design of highly potent and selective MGDs

Presented interim data from Phase 1/2 trial of GSPT1-directed MGD MRT-2359 for the treatment of MYC- driven tumors; optimal pharmacodynamics*, favorable safety profile and initial clinical activity observed

Progressed VAV1 MGD MRT-6160 and NEK7 MGD MRT-8102 into IND enabling studies; MRT-6160is the first known MGD specifically developed for a non-oncologyindication
