History
[edit]Mirati Therapeutics works largely in KRAS-mutation inhibition, and developing treatments for tumors that contain it.[3] The inhibition to the mutation has shown to shrink the size of its tumors.[4] The company is based in San Diego, California.[5] The company’s name comes from the Italian word for “targeted” (Mirati). Mirati Therapeutics is traded on the Nasdaq[6] under the ticker symbol MRTX.[7] It joined the exchange in 2013.[8]
In October 2023, Bristol Myers Squibb agreed to acquire the company in an all-cash deal worth $4.8 billion, and an additional $1 billion in milestone payment.[9] The acquisition was completed in January 2024.[2]

[edit]The company’s leading drug candidates are sitravatinib and adagrasib.[5] Mirati also has a preclinical candidate against the G12D mutation.[10]
Management
