Kymera gets $65M in series B as protein degradation nears clinic

Nov. 14, 2018
By Randy Osborne
Founder and Chief Technology Officer Nello Mainolfi told BioWorld that Kymera Therapeutics Inc. will disclose more in the months ahead about its lead compound, which sits at "the juncture between oncology and inflammation" and has been widely implicated in hematological cancers as well as other conditions. Meanwhile, the Cambridge, Mass.-based firm's $65 million series B round will push that prospect into the clinic and advance the pipeline of other candidates in cancer and immunology. So far, the Pegasus protein degradation platform has yielded preclinical data packages that support drug-like properties of Kymera's assets as well as differentiated pharmacology, Kymera said.
