The company is headquartered in Doylestown, Pennsylvania and currently employs 8 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2019-10-03. The Company’s pipeline includes two clinical-stage synthetic lethality programs. Its lead programs are APR-1051, an oral, small-molecule inhibitor of WEE1 kinase, and ATRN-119, a small-molecule ATR inhibitor, both in clinical development for solid tumor indications.
