Technical Analysis for BPMC - Blueprint Medicines Corporation

Blueprint Medicines Corporation, a biopharmaceutical company, focuses on the development of the highly selective kinase inhibitors for genomically defined cancer subsets. The company's lead drug candidates include BLU-285, which targets KIT Exon 17 and PDGFRa D842V, abnormally active receptor tyrosine kinase mutants for patients with systemic mastocytosis, a myeloproliferative disorder of the mast cells, and defined subsets of patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor, as well as targets the KIT D816V mutation; and BLU-554, an orally available, potent, selective, and irreversible inhibitor, which targets FGFR4. It is also developing a drug candidate to target RET, a receptor tyrosine kinase that can becomes abnormally activated when a portion of the gene that encodes RET is joined to part of another gene; and RET resistant mutants that would arise from treatment with first generation therapies, as well as a program that targets rare genetic diseases. The company has a research, development, and commercialization agreement with Alexion Pharma Holding to research, develop, and commercialize drug candidates for an undisclosed activated kinase target, which is the cause of a rare genetic disease. The company was formerly known as Hoyle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and changed its name to Blueprint Medicines Corporation in June 2011. Blueprint Medicines Corporation was founded in 2008 and is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
