Werewolf Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: HOWL) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing conditionally activated immunotherapy product candidates for the treatment of cancer. The company generates no product revenue and funds operations through external financing, having reported recurring losses from operations and disclosed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern as of the 10-K filed March 27, 2026. Its pipeline includes WTX-124 and WTX-330, both in Phase 1/1b or Phase 1b/2 clinical trials as of early 2025, as well as WTX-721 and JZP898, the latter subject to a Transfer Agreement with Jazz Pharmaceuticals. Research and development spending decreased year-over-year in FY2025 due to lower manufacturing costs across WTX-330, WTX-124, WTX-721, and JZP898, partially offset by increased clinical trial costs tied to ongoing enrollment. The company competes against major pharmaceutical, specialty pharmaceutical, and biotechnology companies developing immunotherapies for cancer. Daniel Hicklin, a founder, serves as President and Chief Executive Officer.
