Description: HOWL Werewolf Therapeutics October 19, 2025

Werewolf Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOWL) is a U.S. biotech focused on engineering “INDUKINE” cytokine therapeutics that are conditionally activated to boost both adaptive and innate immunity, aiming to overcome the toxicity and efficacy limits of traditional pro-inflammatory cancer immunotherapies.

The firm’s flagship pipeline includes WTX-124 (a conditionally activated IL-2) and WTX-330 (a conditionally activated IL-12), both targeted at advanced or metastatic solid tumors, with additional candidates such as JZP898 (IFN-α), WTX-921 (IL-10 for inflammatory bowel disease), WTX-712 (IL-21) and WTX-518 (IL-18) in pre-clinical or early IND stages.

Key quantitative signals as of the most recent 10-Q (Q2 2024) show roughly $48 million in cash and short-term investments, providing an estimated 12-month runway at current burn rates; the company raised $30 million in a February 2024 private placement at a $300 million post-money valuation, indicating investor confidence despite the high-risk, early-stage profile. The broader immuno-oncology market is projected to grow at a CAGR of ~13 % through 2030, driven by expanding indications for cytokine-based therapies and increasing payer acceptance of targeted immune modulators.
