What Relay Therapeutics does

Uses computational modeling of protein motion to design precision oncology and genetic disease drugs.

Has no approved product and so no sales; spending is funded by money raised from investors and by occasional payments from drug-company partners. Everything hangs on trial results for its lead breast-cancer drug candidate, RLY-2608, which is why each data release moves the company more than any financial result.

Products and services

  • RLY-2608 (PI3K inhibitor, breast cancer)
  • Pipeline in FGFR2 and other targets

Customers

  • Oncologists/cancer centers (post-approval)

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Health Care
  • Biotechnology
  • Computationally-driven precision…

What could go right

  • Pivotal trial data readouts
  • Platform-driven pipeline expansion

What could go wrong

  • Clinical trial failure risk
  • High R&D cash burn

Moat: narrow (IP / patents, process know-how, data). Proprietary protein-motion computing platform aids differentiated drug design, though still pre-revenue.

Headquarters: Cambridge, Massachusetts, US · Founded: 2016 · Employees: 192
