Monte Rosa Therapeutics reported positive Phase 1 GFORCE-1 results for MRT-8102, a NEK7-directed molecular glue degrader, in 108 obese subjects with elevated cardiovascular risk. NEK7 degradation was robust and sustained (~80-90% median) across all doses, with key ASCVD biomarkers (calprotectin -56%, SAA -51%, hsCRP -85%) normalized to healthy-volunteer levels and lipoprotein(a) reduced 24%, comparable to PCSK9 inhibitors. The drug was well tolerated with no serious adverse events and TEAE rates similar to placebo (33% vs 30%).
