Company Overview

Prelude Therapeutics Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing precision medicines for cancer. The company’s research is centered on small-molecule therapies designed to target biological mechanisms that cancer cells depend on, including epigenetic regulators and other proteins involved in tumor growth and survival.

Prelude’s development programs have included PRT2527, a selective cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibitor; PRT3789, a SMARCA2 protein degrader; and PRT1419, an inhibitor of the MCL1 protein. These candidates have been investigated for potential use in treating cancers with specific molecular characteristics, including hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.

Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, Prelude has advanced its programs through preclinical research and clinical development in the United States. As a biotechnology company, its activities are primarily focused on research, drug development, and the evaluation of investigational therapies rather than commercial product sales.
