Gilead and Roche Bet on Protein Degraders for Their Cancer Drug Pipelines
Gilead exercised its option to license Kymera Therapeutics' CDK2 molecular‑glue degrader KT‑200, triggering a $45 million payment and opening a potential $665 million milestone path, with an IND target of 2027. Roche paid $20 million upfront to C4 Therapeutics to co‑develop degrader‑antibody drug conjugates (DACs), a partnership that could yield over $1 billion in milestones. Both companies are pairing protein degraders with antibody‑drug‑conjugate platforms—Gilead via its Tubulis ADC assets and Roche via its extensive ADC expertise. The moves signal a strategic shift toward a new class of targeted cancer therapeutics that may also reach inflammation and virology.
