Current report
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to reinventing the treatment of human disease through the development of innovative, highly differentiated medicines that address significant health problems and that meaningfully improve patients’ lives. We are committed to advancing novel technologies to address targets that have known disease-causing biology, but which have not been drugged, or have been inadequately drugged, often based on limitations of existing technologies. Our approach is intended to discover and develop a new generation of medicines in a disease-agnostic manner.
Current report
We are a leader in targeted protein degradation, or TPD, a next-generation small molecule therapeutic modality that engages the body’s natural cellular recycling system to selectively eliminate disease-causing proteins. Our objective is to develop molecules that are both potent and highly selective, creating the potential for our medicines to uniquely address diseases that are poorly served by current treatment options. To date, we have progressed five programs into clinical development and expect to advance at least one new molecular entity into clinical testing annually. We intend to leverage our drug development expertise to become a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company with an industry-leading pipeline of novel medicines.
Current report
Our current focus is primarily directed at high-value targets in immunology. We believe there are more than 160 million patients in the United States, Europe and Japan that are diagnosed with some of the most prevalent immune-inflammatory diseases that our programs have the potential to address, nearly half of whom remain untreated. Of those treated, most patients are treated with therapies that do not treat the underlying diseases but mostly their symptoms. As a result, only a small percentage of patients, which we believe to be approximately 3% of the diagnosed population with severe inflammatory diseases, are currently treated with systemic advanced therapies, mostly injectable biologics. While generally efficacious, biologics have drawbacks. Biologics tend to be more expensive to manufacture, and the cost is typically passed on to patients and payors. Patient access to therapy can also be a challenge, as biologics are more complex to prescribe and reimburse than small molecule medicines. Additionally, biologics are administered as injections, a less preferred route of administration for patients as compared to oral medications, which offer greater flexibility for patients. We believe we have the potential to deliver a compelling value proposition to a significant underserved patient population: small molecule medicines with biologics-like activity through the convenience of oral administration of a pill.
Current report
Our publicly disclosed immunology programs target STAT6, IRF5 and IRAK4, each of which addresses targets within validated pathways, providing the opportunity to treat a broad range of diseases. We are developing KT-621 as part of our STAT6 program, which is currently being evaluated in Phase 1 clinical trials in both healthy volunteers as well as in patients with Atopic Dermatitis (AD) as part of our KT-621 BroADen clinical trial. In May 2025, we announced KT-579, our lead molecule in our IRF5 program, which is currently in IND-enabling studies. We are collaborating with Sanofi S.A., or Sanofi, on the development of drug candidates targeting IRAK4, including KT-474/SAR444656, outside of oncology and immuno-oncology fields. Sanofi is conducting two Phase 2b clinical trials of KT-474 in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and in patients with AD. We recently made the strategic decision not to advance our TYK2 degrader, KT-295, into clinical development, even though we completed IND-enabling activities with no adverse findings in any of our studies. We believe the decision will allow us to dedicate more human and capital resources to our other immunology programs, as well as to extend our cash runway. Our pipeline focuses on addressing high impact targets that have been elusive to conventional modalities and that drive the pathogenesis of multiple serious diseases with significant unmet medical needs.
Current report
In addition to our immunology focus, we also have research initiatives in other therapeutic areas. Additionally, we believe many of our key discovery and development capabilities have broad applicability, creating an opportunity for us to develop impactful therapeutics leveraging small-molecule modalities in addition to TPD.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding pre-funded warrants to purchase 15,159,753 shares of common stock, each with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. These warrants can be exercised at any time at the discretion of the holders, subject to certain ownership limitations. While the potential exercise of these pre-funded warrants would result in the issuance of additional shares, thus increasing the total shares outstanding, their nominal exercise price means they are already considered outstanding for purposes of calculating the Company’s weighted average common stock outstanding and earnings per share. Due to the minimal exercise price, the Company doesn't anticipate significant additional cash proceeds upon exercise and consequently does not expect the exercise of these warrants to materially affect its liquidity, capital resources, or overall financial condition.

Previous report
We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel small molecule therapeutics that selectively degrade disease-causing proteins by harnessing the body’s own natural protein degradation system. Our proprietary targeted protein degradation, or TPD, platform, which we refer to as Pegasus™, allows us to discover highly selective small molecule protein degraders with activity against disease-causing proteins throughout the body. We believe that our small molecule protein degraders have unique advantages over existing therapies and allow us to address a large portion of the human genome that was previously intractable with traditional modalities. We focus on biological pathways that have been clinically validated but where key biological nodes/proteins have not been drugged or are inadequately drugged. To date, we have utilized our Pegasus™ platform to design novel protein degraders focused in the areas of immunology-inflammation and oncology, and we continue to apply our platform’s capabilities to additional therapeutic areas. We have a mission to drug all target classes in human cells using TPD.
Previous report
Our current clinical stage programs are IRAK4, STAT6, STAT3 and MDM2. Our programs exemplify our focus on addressing high impact targets that have been elusive to conventional modalities and that drive the pathogenesis of multiple serious diseases with significant unmet medical needs. Our disclosed preclinical program, currently in IND enabling studies, targets TYK2, another protein in a well-validated pathway where we believe our degrader technology has the potential to offer unique advantages as compared to competing therapies. We are focusing our resources and ongoing development efforts primarily on our programs in immunology, each of which addresses high impact targets within biologically proven pathways, providing the opportunity to treat a broad range of immuno-inflammatory diseases.
Previous report
With respect to our IRAK4 program, we are collaborating with Sanofi S.A, or Sanofi, on the development of drug candidates targeting IRAK4 outside the oncology and immuno-oncology fields. We are developing KT-474, a highly active and selective, orally bioavailable IRAK4 degrader, for the treatment of interleukin-1 receptor/toll-like receptor or IL-1R/TLR-driven immunology-inflammation conditions and diseases with high unmet medical need, including hidradenitis suppurativa, or HS, an inflammatory skin disease, as well as atopic dermatitis, or AD, and potentially other indications. We have completed our Phase 1 trial of KT-474, which included cohorts of healthy volunteers, as well as patients with HS and AD. Phase 2 clinical trials of KT-474, conducted by Sanofi, are initially investigating its potential in HS and AD. Sanofi has initiated clinical trials for both indications and patient dosing is ongoing.
Previous report
In October 2024, we initiated dosing in the Phase 1 healthy volunteer clinical trial evaluating single and multiple ascending doses of KT-621, a potent and selective oral degrader of STAT6, an essential transcription factor in the IL-4/IL-13 pathways that is a central driver of TH2 inflammation. The Phase 1 trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of KT-621 compared to placebo. We expect to report Phase 1 data in the first half of 2025. KT-621 has demonstrated biologic-like activity in preclinical models and has the potential to address multiple allergic and atopic diseases including atopic dermatitis, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, among others.
Previous report
Based on an overall assessment of our clinical oncology programs, and given the opportunities in, and progress across, Kymera’s immunology pipeline, in October 2024 we made the strategic decision not to continue the clinical development of KT-333 (STAT3) and KT-253 (MDM2) beyond Phase 1. We recently completed enrollment and dose escalation for both the KT-333 and KT-253 Phase 1 trials and will only advance beyond this stage with a partner.

Previous wording
We believe the existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $911.0 million as of September 30, 2024, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into mid 2027. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. We expect that we will require additional funding to continue the clinical development of our clinical programs, commercialize our product candidates if we receive regulatory approval, and pursue in-licenses or acquisitions of other product candidates. If we receive regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution, depending on where we choose to commercialize our product candidates.

Previous wording
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in our Annual Report Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024.
