Monte Rosa Therapeutics, Inc. reported a net loss of $72.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $135.4 million in 2023. This improvement was driven by $75.6 million in collaboration revenue recognized in 2024, primarily from license and collaboration agreements with Roche ($34.0 million) and Novartis ($41.6 million). The company had no collaboration revenue in 2023. Research and development expenses increased by $10.3 million to $121.6 million in 2024, while general and administrative expenses rose by $3.1 million to $35.2 million.
Significant changes compared to the previous year include the initiation of clinical trials for MRT-2359 (GSPT1-directed MGD) and MRT-6160 (VAV1-directed MGD), and the signing of a global exclusive license agreement with Novartis for MRT-6160, resulting in a $150 million upfront payment. The company also entered into a strategic collaboration and licensing agreement with Roche in October 2023, receiving a $50 million upfront payment. Further, MRT-2359's Phase 1/2 trial was expanded to include castration-resistant prostate cancer and estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer patients in the second half of 2024. The company announced it would deprioritize further development of MRT-2359 in other tumor types due to a favorable safety profile and encouraging early signals of clinical activity in CRPC.
Key operational developments include the advancement of MRT-8102 (NEK7-directed MGD) into IND-enabling studies, with an IND filing planned for the first half of 2025. The company is also advancing preclinical programs targeting CDK2 and CCNE1. As of December 31, 2024, Monte Rosa had 134 full-time employees, 105 of whom were engaged in research and development. The company's proprietary QuEENTM discovery engine continues to generate discovery-stage programs targeting proteins considered undruggable or inadequately drugged.
Monte Rosa's financial position as of December 31, 2024, included $377.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities. The company anticipates continued losses for the foreseeable future and will require substantial additional funding to complete development of its product candidates and generate revenue from product sales. The company expects to present additional results in the second half of 2025, including results from the ongoing safety evaluation of MRT-2359 in combination with fulvestrant in ER+ breast cancer. The company expects to submit an IND for a second NEK7 MGD candidate optimized for CNS penetration in 2026, and a first IND for CDK2 or CCNE1 MGDs in 2026.
