Here are 1-2 brief analogies for RAPT Therapeutics:

• Vertex Pharmaceuticals for immunology, but currently in clinical trials. (RAPT is developing oral small molecule drugs for immune-mediated diseases, similar to how Vertex has found success with oral small molecules for cystic fibrosis, but RAPT's products are still in human trials.)

• An early-stage Incyte, focused on new targets for inflammatory diseases and cancer. (Incyte is an established biotech company with a focus on oncology and inflammatory diseases, often using small molecules. RAPT operates in similar therapeutic areas, also with small molecules, but is earlier in its development with novel targets.)

• RPTQ-565: An investigational oral Flt3 inhibitor currently in clinical development for the treatment of various cancers.
• RPTQ-171: An investigational oral CCR4 antagonist currently in clinical development for inflammatory diseases, including atopic dermatitis and asthma.

RAPT Therapeutics (symbol: RAPT) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing small molecule therapies for inflammatory diseases and cancer. As a company in the research and development phase, it does not currently have commercial products on the market and therefore does not have major customers in the traditional sense of companies or individuals purchasing its products or services.

Its business model revolves around advancing drug candidates through clinical trials. Potential future revenue streams, if successful, would typically come from:

1. Collaboration or licensing agreements with larger pharmaceutical companies (who would then be partners or licensees, rather than direct customers).
2. Eventual commercialization of approved drugs, where the "customers" would be healthcare providers, distributors, pharmacies, or wholesalers, rather than individuals directly.

Therefore, RAPT Therapeutics does not have a list of major current customers.

The advancement of competing novel oral therapies, particularly TYK2 inhibitors, for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. Should these therapies demonstrate compelling efficacy and safety profiles in ongoing clinical trials, they could establish a new standard of care for oral non-JAK treatment, potentially limiting the future market opportunity for RAPT’s lead candidate, RPT193, in this indication.

RAPT Therapeutics is a clinical-stage immunology-based biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for inflammatory diseases and oncology. The addressable markets for their main products or services are as follows:

• RPT904 (targeting Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria): The global chronic spontaneous urticaria market size was valued at approximately USD 779.28 million in 2024 and is projected to reach approximately USD 1,541.41 million by 2032.
• RPT904 (targeting Food Allergy): null
• FLX475 (targeting Oncology): The global oncology drugs market size was valued at USD 201.75 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 220.80 billion in 2024 to USD 518.25 billion by 2032.

1. Advancement and Potential Commercialization of Tivumecirnon (FLX475) in Oncology: Tivumecirnon, an oral CCR4 antagonist, is RAPT's lead oncology drug candidate and is in Phase 2 clinical trials. It is being evaluated as both a monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for advanced cancers. Positive Phase 2 data in checkpoint inhibitor-experienced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) were announced in April 2024, showing promising objective response rates that compare favorably to anti-PD-1 monotherapy. Further expansion into other tumor types, such as gastric cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, along with potential partnerships for development outside of the Hanmi territory, could drive future revenue if it progresses to market approval.
2. Progression of Ozureprubart (RPT904) in Allergic Inflammatory Diseases: Ozureprubart, a long-acting anti-IgE antibody, is being developed for allergic inflammatory diseases. RAPT initiated a Phase 2b prestIgE trial in food allergy in late 2025, with top-line data anticipated in the first half of 2027. Additionally, RAPT and its partner Jemincare reported positive topline Phase 2 data for ozureprubart in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), demonstrating comparable efficacy and safety to omalizumab. The companies plan to engage regulatory agencies to discuss potential Phase 3 registrational pathways for CSU. Successful advancement through these clinical stages and subsequent market entry or licensing deals would be a significant revenue driver.
3. Development and Launch of Next-Generation CCR4 Antagonists for Inflammatory Diseases: Following the termination of its zelnecirnon (RPT193) program in November 2024 due to FDA clinical holds, RAPT Therapeutics is focusing on developing next-generation CCR4 compounds with improved safety margins for inflammatory diseases. The company expects to identify a new lead candidate in the first half of 2025. Successful preclinical and clinical development of these new compounds could lead to future product launches and revenue generation.
4. Strategic In-licensing Opportunities for Clinical-Stage Assets: RAPT is actively pursuing in-licensing opportunities for clinical-stage assets to diversify its pipeline. Successful execution of such agreements could bring new revenue streams to the company through development milestones, royalties, or direct product sales from these acquired assets.
