Halda Therapeutics is a New Haven CT based, venture-backed biotechnology company focused on the development of a proprietary RIPTAC™ (Regulated Induced Proximity TArgeting Chimeras) therapeutic that works by a novel “hold and kill” mechanism for the precision treatment of cancer. The mechanism of action of RIPTAC therapeutics is uniquely designed to address cancer’s ability to evolve bypass mechanisms of resistance, a common limitation of today’s precision oncology medicines. Our lead RIPTAC programs are in development for major solid tumor types, prostate cancer and breast cancer, with additional RIPTAC therapeutic programs in our pipeline to treat unmet medical needs in cancer. The company will initiate its Phase 1 trial in metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in 2025. Halda was founded by Yale Professor Craig Crews and is led by a team with deep expertise in bifunctional drug discovery, platform innovation, and company building and is located in New Haven, CT. The company has raised $202M in funding from top tier investors, and closed on $126M in the summer of 2024 to bring its first two programs into the clinic.
