Janux Therapeutics, Inc.

Previous wording

We are an innovative clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a broad pipeline of novel immunotherapies by applying our proprietary technologies to our Tumor Activated T Cell Engager (TRACTr), Tumor Activated Immunomodulator (TRACIr), and Adaptive Immune Response Modulator (ARM) platforms. The TRACTr platform produces T cell engagers (TCEs) with a tumor antigen-binding domain and a CD3 T cell binding domain, while the TRACIr platform produces bispecifics with a tumor antigen-binding domain and a costimulatory CD28 binding domain. The goal of both platforms is to provide cancer patients with safe and effective therapeutics that direct and guide their immune system to eradicate tumors while minimizing safety concerns. Our initial focus is on developing a novel class of TRACTr therapeutics designed to target clinically validated TCE drug targets, but overcome liabilities associated with prior generations of TCEs. While TCE therapeutics have displayed potent anti-tumor activity in hematological cancers, developing TCEs to treat solid tumors has faced challenges due to the limitations of prior TCE technologies, namely (i) on-target healthy tissue immune activation that contributes to cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and healthy tissue toxicity and (ii) poor pharmacokinetics (PK) leading to short half-life. Our first clinical candidate, JANX007, is a prostate-specific membrane antigen or PSMA-TRACTr and is being investigated in a Phase 1 clinical trial in adult subjects with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). In December 2024, we announced updated interim clinical data for JANX007 which displayed meaningful and prolonged PSA drops, encouraging anti-tumor activity, a favorable safety profile including CRS and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) primarily limited to Cycle 1 and lower grades, and PK consistent with the TRACTr mechanism-of-action. In May 2025, we provided updated results from the patients reported in December 2024 which displayed a consistent durability and safety profile that supported the initiation of Phase 1b expansion studies. Our second clinical candidate, JANX008, is an epidermal growth factor receptor or EGFR-TRACTr and is being studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial for the treatment of multiple solid cancers including colorectal carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, small cell lung cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and triple-negative breast cancer. The first patient for this trial was dosed in April 2023 and in February 2024 we announced positive early data for JANX008 that displayed anti-tumor activity in multiple tumor types with low-grade CRS and predominantly low-grade TRAEs. The Adaptive Immune Response Modulator (ARM) platform builds upon our expertise to redesign bispecific TCEs to overcome the limitations of conventional TCEs in autoimmune diseases and oncology. This platform aims to create differentiated product…

Our lead clinical candidate, JANX007, is a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted TRACTr being investigated in a Phase 1 clinical trial in adult subjects with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). We are also advancing JANX014, a double-masked PSMA-targeted TRACTr, which entered clinical evaluation in April 2026. In addition, we are developing JANX013, a PSMA-targeted TRACIr incorporating CD28 costimulation, which is planned to enter clinical development in the second half of 2026. Our ARM platform builds upon our expertise to redesign bispecific T cell engagers to address the limitations of conventional approaches in autoimmune diseases and oncology. The platform is designed to enable controlled T cell activation and expansion followed by contraction, with the goal of achieving deep and durable target cell depletion while improving safety and convenience. In February 2026, we initiated a Phase 1 clinical study of our CD19-ARM program (JANX011), which is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of JANX011 in healthy volunteers. JANX011 is being developed for autoimmune diseases, and the initiation of this study represents an important step in the advancement of our ARM platform from preclinical development into the clinic. We are also generating a number of additional TRACTr, TRACIr and ARM programs for potential future development. In April 2026, we announced the decision to voluntarily discontinue further clinical development of JANX008, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EFGR)-targeted TRACTr program, following internal review of the data fr…

We were incorporated in June 2017. To date, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to organizing and staffing our company, business planning, business development, raising capital, developing and optimizing our technology platform, identifying potential product candidates, undertaking research and development for our lead programs, establishing and enhancing our intellectual property portfolio and providing general and administrative support for these operations. All of our product candidates and research programs other than JANX007 and JANX008 are in preclinical development, and none have been approved for commercial sale. We have never generated any revenue from product sales and have incurred net losses each year since we commenced operations. We have funded our operations primarily with the net proceeds from the issuance of convertible promissory notes, the issuance of convertible preferred stock, the exercise of common stock options, proceeds from our initial public offering (IPO), the issuance of common stock and pre-funded common stock warrants in public and/or underwritten offerings and amounts received under a collaboration agreement with Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.
