Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation | Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation Prime Medicine, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiary (the “Company”) is a biotechnology company committed to delivering a new class of differentiated one-time curative genetic therapies. The Company is deploying Prime Editing technology, which it believes is a versatile, precise, and efficient gene editing technology. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in September 2019. Its principal offices are in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Liquidity and Capital Resources Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to building its Prime editing platform and advancing development of its portfolio of programs, establishing and protecting its intellectual property, conducting research and development activities, organizing and staffing the company, business planning, raising capital and providing general and administrative support for these operations. To date, the Company has funded its operations primarily with proceeds from sales of preferred stock, from public offerings, and private placement of its common stock, and through payments from its collaboration partners. In August 2025, the Company issued and sold 43,700,000 shares of its common stock, including 5,700,000 shares pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a price to the public of $3.30 per share. As a result of the offering, the Company received approximately $138.2 million in net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering costs of $6.0 million. Since its inception, the Company has incurred substantial losses and, as of June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $791.7 million. The Company expects to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. The Company further expects that its cash, cash equivalents, and investments as of June 30, 2025 of $101.8 million, along with the $138.2 million in net proceeds received from the sale of common stock in August 2025 discussed above, will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, completing preclinical studies and clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approval for product candidates, market acceptance of products, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, the ability to attract and retain qualified employees, reliance on third-party organizations, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, and the ability to raise additional capital to fund operations. The Company’s product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel and infrastructure, and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Company’s development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales. The Company will need to raise additional capital to support its continuing operations and to pursue its growth strategy. Until such time as the Company can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, it expects to finance its operations through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing, or other arrangements with third parties, or other similar transactions. The Company may be unable to raise additional capital or enter into such other agreements when needed on favorable terms or at all. The inability to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategy. The Company will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability, and it may never do so.
