Cogent Biosciences
Cogent Biosciences is a biotechnology company focused on developing precision therapies for genetically defined diseases, utilizing proprietary T-cell engineering technology alongside tumor-targeting antibodies to harness the body’s immune system in the fight against cancer. The company designs targeted treatments aimed at addressing the underlying causes of diseases, thereby improving patient outcomes. One of its key programs, CGT9486, is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor that specifically targets the KIT D816V mutation and other mutations in KIT exon 17. This mutation is predominantly linked to Systemic Mastocytosis, a severe condition resulting from the uncontrolled growth of mast cells, and is also associated with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Cogent Biosciences is advancing its lead program, which is expected to enter Phase I clinical trials to evaluate safety and efficacy.
