Cyteir Therapeutics Inc.

Cyteir Therapeutics Inc is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing the next generation of precision oncology medicines that inhibit DNA damage repair and cause cancer cell death through a therapeutic strategy known as synthetic lethality. Its lead program is CYT-0851, which is designed to exploit a novel synthetic lethality between overexpression of a family of DNA damaging enzymes called cytidine deaminases and functional inhibition of homologous recombination, a DNA repair pathway critical for the survival of some cancers. Its Pre-clinical program is CYT-1853, which is designed to exploit the same novel synthetic lethality targeted by CYT-085.
