RPTX Profile
Repare Therapeutics Inc. (RPTX) is a clinical-stage precision oncology company that develops novel therapeutics based on its proprietary synthetic lethality approach. The company's platform leverages advances in CRISPR gene editing, DNA damage and repair, and synthetic lethal interactions to identify and develop highly targeted cancer therapies. Its lead product candidate is RP-3500, a small molecule that is being evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of solid tumors. The company has also developed a pipeline of preclinical programs targeting various forms of cancer.
Repare was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Montreal, Canada. The company completed its initial public offering (IPO) in June 2020 and trades on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker symbol "RPTX." As of February 2023, the company has a market capitalization of approximately $1.9 billion.
Repare's approach to precision oncology involves identifying specific genetic mutations or deficiencies in a patient's tumor cells and using that information to develop highly targeted therapies that exploit the cancer's vulnerabilities. The company's lead product candidate, RP-3500, is designed to selectively kill tumor cells that harbor mutations in the DNA damage response pathway while sparing healthy cells. RP-3500 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial for the treatment of solid tumors, including ovarian, breast, prostate, and lung cancers.
In addition to RP-3500, Repare is developing a pipeline of preclinical programs targeting various forms of cancer. The company's preclinical programs include therapies that target specific genetic mutations associated with cancer, as well as therapies that target synthetic lethal interactions between cancer cells and their microenvironment.
Repare has established collaborations with leading academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies to support the development of its precision oncology platform. The company has also been recognized for its innovative approach to cancer therapy, receiving numerous awards and recognitions, including being named a 2021 "Fierce 15" company by FierceBiotech.
While Repare is still in the early stages of clinical development, the company's precision oncology approach and innovative platform have the potential to transform the way cancer is treated. With a strong pipeline of preclinical programs and a growing network of collaborations, Repare is well-positioned to continue advancing its mission of developing highly targeted cancer therapies that improve patient outcomes.
