About Syros Pharmaceuticals
Syros is pioneering the
understanding of the non-coding region of the genome to advance a new
wave of medicines that control expression of genes. Syros has built a
proprietary platform that is designed to systematically and efficiently
analyze this unexploited region of DNA in human disease tissue to
identify and drug novel targets linked to genomically defined patient
populations. Because gene expression is fundamental to the function of
all cells, Syros’ gene control platform has broad potential to create
medicines that achieve profound and durable benefit across a range of
diseases. Syros is currently focused on cancer and monogenic diseases
and is advancing a growing pipeline of gene control medicines. Syros’
lead drug candidates are SY-1425, a selective RARα agonist in a Phase 2
clinical trial for genomically defined subsets of patients with acute
myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome, and SY-1365, a selective
CDK7 inhibitor in a Phase 1 clinical trial for patients with advanced
solid tumors. Led by a team with deep experience in drug discovery,
development and commercialization, Syros is located in Cambridge, Mass.
