About Sapience Therapeutics

Sapience Therapeutics, Inc. is a privately held, clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing peptide therapeutics to address oncogenic and immune dysregulation that drive cancer. With in-house discovery capabilities, Sapience has built a pipeline of therapeutic candidates called SPEARs (Stabilized Peptides Engineered Against Regulation) that disrupt intracellular protein-protein interactions, enabling targeting of transcription factors which have traditionally been considered undruggable, and can deliver cargo to cell surface targets with their new class of molecule called SPARCs (Stabilized Peptides Against Receptors on Cancer), enabling delivery of payloads such as ?-particles to cancer cells. Sapience is advancing its lead programs, ST316, a first-in-class antagonist of ?-catenin, and ST101, a first-in-class antagonist of C/EBP?, through Phase 1-2 clinical trials.
