Aprea Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: APRE) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, focused on precision oncology through synthetic lethality. The company’s pioneering research aims to develop and commercialize cancer therapeutics that target the DNA damage response (DDR) pathways. Aprea's lead product candidate, ATRN-119, is a macrocyclic ATR inhibitor designed for treating solid tumors with DDR-related gene mutations. This inhibitor is currently in a Phase 1/2a clinical trial and has shown promising preliminary data, being well tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities.

Another key candidate, APR-1051, is a highly selective WEE1 kinase inhibitor. The company recently received FDA clearance for an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for APR-1051, enabling the initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial aimed at treating cancers that overexpress Cyclin E, including ovarian and breast cancers. Preclinical studies have demonstrated APR-1051's potential low toxicity and high selectivity, making it a candidate for best-in-class treatment.

Aprea’s commitment to advancing precision oncology is underscored by recent financial results and corporate developments. For instance, as of March 31, 2024, the company reported $32.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. Notably, Aprea has secured a private placement financing of up to $34 million to support its ongoing and upcoming clinical trials. Furthermore, Aprea’s strong leadership team, including newly appointed Chief Medical Officer Dr. Nadeem Q. Mirza, continues to drive the company’s strategic initiatives.

Recent achievements include the presentation of promising preclinical and clinical data at major conferences such as the AACR Annual Meeting. These presentations highlighted the potential of ATRN-119 and APR-1051 in treating cancers with specific genetic mutations, reinforcing Aprea’s potential to fill significant unmet medical needs in oncology.
