Welcome to our dedicated page for Monte Rosa Therapeutics news (Ticker: GLUE), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Monte Rosa Therapeutics stock.
Monte Rosa Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: GLUE) is a cutting-edge biotechnology company focused on the development of small molecule drugs known as molecular glue degraders (MGDs). These novel therapies target disease-causing proteins for degradation, leveraging the body’s natural protein destruction mechanisms.
Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Boston with additional laboratory facilities in Basel, Monte Rosa was initially seeded by Versant Ventures and incubated at Ridgeline Discovery in Basel and the Institute of Cancer Research in London. The company has raised significant funding from Versant and New Enterprise Associates, amounting to $32.5 million.
Monte Rosa specializes in targeting proteins that have been challenging to drug with traditional methods. Utilizing their proprietary QuEEN™ (Quantitative and Engineered Elimination of Neosubstrates) discovery engine, the company combines AI-guided chemistry, diverse chemical libraries, and structural biology to design MGDs with unprecedented selectivity. This innovative approach has allowed Monte Rosa to build a broad and differentiated pipeline across oncology, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases.
The company's flagship product candidate, MRT-2359, is currently in Phase 1/2 clinical trials for MYC-driven solid tumors. Another notable candidate, MRT-6160, targets the VAV1 protein and is progressing toward clinical trials for autoimmune diseases. MRT-8102, a NEK7-directed MGD, is in IND-enabling studies for inflammatory diseases like gout and cardiovascular conditions.
Monte Rosa has also entered a strategic collaboration with Roche to further expand the applications of its technology in cancer and neurological diseases. Despite its relatively recent establishment, Monte Rosa has made significant strides in advancing its pipeline and demonstrating the potential of its MGDs to address unmet medical needs.
The company's financial health appears robust, with a reported cash position sufficient to fund operations into the first half of 2026. As of the latest updates, Monte Rosa continues to achieve key milestones, including ongoing clinical trials and preclinical studies, ensuring steady progress toward providing pioneering therapies for cancer and beyond.
Monte Rosa Therapeutics (Nasdaq: GLUE) has appointed Dr. Eric A. Hughes to its Board of Directors. Dr. Hughes currently serves as Executive Vice President, Global R&D and Chief Medical Officer of Teva Pharmaceuticals. He brings extensive experience in biopharmaceutical industry leadership, having previously held senior positions at Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Novartis, and Bristol Myers Squibb.
Dr. Hughes's expertise includes building R&D organizations and developing therapeutics across multiple disease areas, particularly in immunology and inflammation. His appointment aligns with Monte Rosa's expansion into these therapeutic areas and their continued development of molecular glue degrader (MGD)-based medicines through their QuEEN™ discovery engine.
Monte Rosa Therapeutics (Nasdaq: GLUE) has closed its global exclusive development and commercialization license agreement with Novartis for VAV1-directed molecular glue degraders (MGDs), including MRT-6160. The deal includes a $150 million upfront payment and potential earnings of up to $2.1 billion in development, regulatory, and sales milestones. Novartis gains worldwide rights and will handle clinical development and commercialization from Phase 2 onwards, while Monte Rosa completes the ongoing Phase 1 study.
Monte Rosa will co-fund Phase 3 development and share U.S. profits and losses, receiving tiered royalties on ex-U.S. sales. MRT-6160 is an oral VAV1 degrader showing promise in preclinical studies for immune-mediated conditions.
Monte Rosa Therapeutics (Nasdaq: GLUE) presented preclinical data on their CDK2-directed molecular glue degrader (MGD), MRT-9643, for treating HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer. The data shows that MRT-9643 demonstrates superior selectivity compared to clinical-stage CDK2 inhibitors and induced robust pathway suppression.
When combined with standard therapies, MRT-9643 achieved deep tumor regression in preclinical models. The compound showed deep CDK2 degradation in cellular assays and demonstrated enhanced downstream pathway suppression when combined with CDK4/6 inhibitors or triple combination therapy. The company plans to advance their CDK2 MGD program towards development candidate nomination in H1 2025.
Monte Rosa Therapeutics has provided an update on its Phase 1/2 study of MRT-2359 in patients with MYC-driven solid tumors. The study demonstrated a favorable safety profile and achieved targeted GSPT1 degradation levels using a 21 days on, 7 days off drug dosing schedule in heavily pretreated patients.
The recommended Phase 2 dose has been determined at 0.5 mg daily. The drug showed no signs of hypotension, cytokine release syndrome, or clinically significant hypocalcemia. The study enrolled patients with various tumor types, including NSCLC, SCLC, neuroendocrine tumors, prostate cancer, and breast cancer.
Safety assessments have begun for MRT-2359 in combination with enzalutamide for prostate cancer and fulvestrant for breast cancer. Additional clinical results, including biomarker and activity data, are expected in Q1 2025.

Monte Rosa Therapeutics announced Q3 2024 financial results and significant developments. The company secured a global license agreement with Novartis for VAV1-directed molecular glue degraders, including MRT-6160, receiving $150M upfront with potential for $2.1B in milestones. Key clinical programs include MRT-2359 for MYC-driven tumors with results expected year-end, and MRT-8102 targeting IL-1β with IND filing planned for H1 2025. Q3 financial results showed revenue of $9.2M and net loss of $23.9M. With the Novartis deal, cash runway extends into 2028.
Monte Rosa Therapeutics (Nasdaq: GLUE) has entered a global exclusive license agreement with Novartis for VAV1 molecular glue degraders (MGDs), including MRT-6160. The deal includes a $150 million upfront payment and potential milestone payments up to $2.1 billion.
Under the agreement, Novartis gains worldwide rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize MRT-6160 and other VAV1 MGDs, taking responsibility for Phase 2 clinical studies onwards.

Monte Rosa Therapeutics presented preclinical data on its cyclin E1-directed molecular glue degraders (MGDs) at the 36th EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium. The company's MGD compound, MRT-50969, demonstrated selective degradation of cyclin E1 in CCNE1-amplified solid tumors. The drug showed promising results in preclinical trials, including tumor growth suppression and regression in breast and gastric cancer models. Unlike CDK2 inhibitors, MRT-50969 exhibited higher selectivity and RB-dependent inhibition. The research revealed a new binding mechanism through cryo-EM analysis, suggesting broader applications for cereblon-based MGDs.
