About Werewolf Therapeutics
Werewolf Therapeutics, Inc., is an innovative
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 clinical stage product
candidates, WTX-124 and WTX-330, are systemically delivered,
conditionally activated Interleukin-2 (IL-2), and Interleukin-12
(IL-12) INDUKINE molecules, respectively, for the treatment of
solid tumors. We expect to advance WTX-124 in multiple tumor types
as a single agent and in combination with an immune checkpoint
inhibitor and WTX-330 in multiple tumor types or Non-Hodgkin
Lymphoma as a single agent. To learn more visit
