Foghorn Therapeutics Inc is engaged in the discovery and development of a new class of medicines targeting genetically determined dependencies within the chromatin regulatory system. Its proprietary Gene Traffic Control platform gives an integrated, mechanistic understanding of how the various components of the chromatin regulatory system interact, allowing it to identify, validate, and potentially drug targets within the system. The company is developing FHD-286, a selective, allosteric ATPase inhibitor, and FHD-609, a protein degrader, to treat hematologic cancers and solid tumors.

Crescent Biopharma Inc is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics to treat solid tumors, led by CR-001, a proprietary anti-PD-1/anti-VEGF bispecific antibody. Crescent's pipeline product CR-001 has the potential to deliver improved clinical efficacy and safety over pembrolizumab. CR-001 is a new molecular entity designed to replicate the functional properties of ivonescimab, a cooperative bispecific anti-PD-1/anti-VEGF antibody in development by Akeso Biopharma and Summit Therapeutics that delivered improved efficacy in a head-to-head Phase 3 clinical trial versus Keytruda in non-small cell lung cancer. The company focuses on advancing its second and third programs, CR-002 and CR-003, which are antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) against validated oncology targets.
