Cogent Biosciences Inc

Cogent Biosciences, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company. It is focused on developing precision therapies for genetically defined diseases. Its approach is to design rational precision therapies that treat the underlying cause of disease and improve the lives of patients. Its advanced program is bezuclastinib, also known as CGT9486, a highly selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is designed to potently inhibit the KIT D816V mutation as well as other mutations in KIT exon 17. KIT D816V is responsible for driving systemic mastocytosis (SM), a serious and rare disease caused by unchecked proliferation of mast cells. The Company has on-going Phase I studies of its CNS-penetrant, selective mutant ErbB2 inhibitor and its potential best-in-class, wild-type-sparing, PI3Ka inhibitor. In addition, the Company’s research team is developing a portfolio of novel targeted therapies to help patients fighting serious, genetically driven diseases targeting mutations in KRAS and JAK2.
