Monte Rosa Therapeutics reported positive Phase 1 data for MRT-8102, an oral molecular glue degrader targeting NEK7 to inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome assembly, showing biomarker normalization linked to cardiovascular disease risk with good safety in 108 obese participants. Multiple Phase 2 trials targeting inflammatory conditions including coronary artery disease, gout, and hidradenitis suppurativa are planned for 2026-2027.
