Werewolf Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of conditionally activated immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer. Leveraging its proprietary ProTakine™ technology platform, the company engineers cytokine and antibody prodrugs designed to remain inert in circulation and become activated only within the tumor microenvironment. This targeted approach aims to enhance anti-tumor efficacy while minimizing systemic toxicities commonly associated with immune-modulating agents.
The company’s pipeline includes multiple development candidates, among them WTX-124, an interleukin-2 prodrug, and WTX-006, an interleukin-12 prodrug, both of which are currently advancing through early-phase clinical trials. In addition, Werewolf is exploring novel checkpoint agonist candidates to further stimulate tumor-localized immune activity. Preclinical data have demonstrated promising safety and efficacy profiles, supporting the potential of these candidates to address a range of solid tumor indications.
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Werewolf Therapeutics has rapidly progressed its platform from concept to clinic. The company completed its initial public offering on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol HOWL in 2021, bolstering its balance sheet to support ongoing clinical studies and platform expansion. Werewolf’s research and development efforts are conducted at its state-of-the-art facilities in the Boston area, with collaborations aimed at broadening its geographic reach and accelerating program advancement.
Leadership is headed by President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Karin Mayer Rubin, an industry veteran with extensive experience in oncology drug development, along with an executive team skilled in clinical research, regulatory affairs, and strategic partnerships. Werewolf Therapeutics continues to build a robust organizational structure and scientific advisory board to guide the progression of its innovative prodrug candidates toward regulatory approval and eventual commercialization for patients around the globe.
