Prelude Therapeutics (PRLD) announced the presentation of new preclinical data from its lead development candidate, PRT13722. PRT13722 is being developed for the treatment of hormone receptor positive, or HR+,/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, or HER2-, breast cancer, or BC. Based on preclinical data, we believe PRT13722 is a highly differentiated, first-in-class, orally bioavailable, potent and highly-selective KAT6A degrader. Details on the poster presentation are as follows: Title: First-in-Class potent and selective oral KAT6A degrader development candidate, PRT13722, drives complete tumor regressions as a monotherapy with an improved preclinical hematological safety profile. Abstract Control Number: 7335. Session Title: Proximity-Induced Drug Discovery 2. Session Start Time: 4/21/2026 2:00 PM PT Location: Poster Section 15. Summary: PRT13722 is a highly differentiated, first-in-class, orally bioavailable, potent and highly selective KAT6A degrader development candidate. PRT13722, by degrading KAT6A, drives more complete disruption of KAT6A regulatory pathways than dual KAT6A/B inhibitors, resulting in more robust depth and breadth of preclinical efficacy in HR+/HER2- breast cancer. KAT6 is an emerging and recently validated target in the treatment of ER+ breast cancer. Prelude discovered and is developing first-in-class, highly potent, highly selective and orally bioavailable KAT6A selective degraders. PRT13722 remains on track for an IND filing in mid-2026 and subject to clearance, with Phase 1 study initiation planned in the 2nd half of 2026. Prelude believes that selectively degrading KAT6A has the potential for improved efficacy, tolerability and combinability with other agents relative to non-selective inhibitors of KAT6A/B.
