Description: PRME Prime Medicine, Common Stock

Prime Medicine, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRME) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing genetic medicines using its proprietary Prime Editing platform. Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts and founded in 2019, the company went public on the NASDAQ in October 2022 and operates within the U.S. biotechnology sector, a segment focused on translating novel molecular technologies into therapeutic products.

The companys pipeline is centered on rare and monogenic diseases, with its lead candidate PM359 in Phase 1/2 clinical trials for Chronic Granulomatous Disease. Other programs include PM577 for Wilson Disease (preclinical stage) and PM647, which targets liver damage caused by misfolded Z-AAT protein resulting from SERPINA1 gene mutations. Prime Medicine is also pursuing in vivo liver-directed programs and a Cystic Fibrosis program, and maintains research collaborations and license agreements with Bristol Myers Squibb, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Broad Institute, and Beam Therapeutics.

Prime Editing, the companys core technology, combines a modified Cas domain that locates a target DNA sequence without inducing a double-stranded break with a reverse transcriptase (RT) domain that copies the edited sequence directly into the genome, directed by a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA). This search-and-replace approach distinguishes Prime Editing from earlier gene editing modalities such as CRISPR-Cas9, and is designed to enable a wider range of precise DNA edits.

  • BMS collaboration milestone payments extend cash runway
