About Werewolf
Therapeutics:
Werewolf Therapeutics, Inc. is an innovative clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company pioneering the development of
therapeutics engineered to stimulate the body’s immune system for
the treatment of cancer. We are leveraging our proprietary
PREDATOR™ platform to design conditionally activated molecules that
stimulate both adaptive and innate immunity with the goal of
addressing the limitations of conventional proinflammatory immune
therapies. Our INDUKINE™ molecules are intended to remain inactive
in peripheral tissue yet activate selectively in the tumor
microenvironment. Our most advanced product candidates, WTX-124 and
WTX-330, are systemically delivered, conditionally activated
Interleukin-2 (IL-2), and Interleukin-12 (IL-12) INDUKINE molecules
for the treatment of solid tumors. WTX-124 is in development as a
monotherapy and in combination with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in
multiple solid tumor types. WTX-330 is in development as a single
agent in refractory and/or immunotherapy unresponsive or resistant
advanced or metastatic solid tumors and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
