Cradling life through 
precision therapeutics

PretermX is developing the first uterus-targeted therapeutics to prevent preterm birth by building a new category of precision medicine for one of the most significant unmet needs in women's health

     THE CHALLENGE
  A safe, durable way to stop preterm labor.

PROBLEM

Systemic, off-label, dose-limited

Current treatments are systemic, off-label, 
and dose-limited by side effects that result in 
insufficient duration of use, leaving clinicians without a safe, durable way to stop preterm labor.

SOLUTION

Delivered to the source

Novel small-molecule and antibody-drug 
conjugate platforms engineered to deliver 
clinically validated payloads directly to the uterus and suppress contractions at the source.

PROGRESS

PTX-101 validated

Our lead program has demonstrated 
suppression of uterine contractions in human tissue and delay of preterm birth in preclinical models while improving neonatal outcomes.
