Mestag Therapeutics

Suite 15 Science Village, Chesterford Research Park, Little Chesterford, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB10 1XL, United Kingdom

Overview

Mestag Therapeutics develops therapies by leveraging fibroblast immunology to treat cancer and inflammatory diseases. Its pipeline includes MST-0312, a FAP-targeted LTBR agonist bispecific antibody designed to exploit tertiary lymphoid structures in solid tumors, and M402, an agonist antibody targeting a stromal inhibitory receptor for inflammatory disease, alongside earlier discovery-stage programs. The company also uses its RAFT Platform to identify novel fibroblast-immune targets and has entered collaborations with MSD in 2024 and a 2021 agreement with Janssen to discover and license targets. Mestag recently raised $40M in financing to fund the Phase 1 STARLYS clinical study, expected to begin in mid-2026. Leadership includes CEO Susan Hill, with Lindsey Rolfe appointed Chief Medical Officer and Pascal Merchiers appointed Chief Development Officer.
