Cyteir Therapeutics

Modernizing Website Branding & Messaging

Cyteir Therapeutics, Inc., founded in 2012 and headquartered in Lexington, Massachusetts, was a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing precision oncology therapies. The company’s lead investigational drug, CYT-0851, was an oral monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) inhibitor designed to disrupt cancer cell metabolism. CYT-0851 advanced to Phase 1/2 clinical trials, showing promising results in combination with capecitabine for treating advanced platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, achieving a disease control rate of 91% in a heavily pretreated patient population

Challenge

Pursuing a Modern Brand

Cyteir Therapeutics, an early-stage life science startup in genetics, discovers and develops novel therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. As they began to pursue new funding sources and recruit more employees, the company faced a challenge: making highly technical content more approachable and engaging for a financial and non-scientific audience.

Slide titled “Potential CYT-0851 Treatment Landscape” from Cyteir Therapeutics. Shows treatment lines (1st, 2nd, 3rd+) and the use of CYT-0851 in monotherapy or combination therapy across various cancer types. Indications include hematologic malignancies (DLBCL, FL, MCL, MM) and solid tumors (pancreatic, ovarian, sarcoma, TNBC).

Solution

Bridging the Marketing Gap

A website refresh and brand modernization were needed to better position Cyteir within the industry. BizStream rebuilt the corporate website to enhance the standard of its graphics—including an updated company logo—and to support a modern, easy-to-navigate design that includes comprehensive yet clear descriptions of the company’s services. Today, we continue to support Cyteir with intermittent collateral projects.

Slide titled “CYT-0851 Phase 1/2 Monotherapy Trial Objectives and Status.” Visual timeline outlines clinical trial modules including dose escalation, refinement, combination trials with Talazoparib, Gemcitabine, and pediatric studies. Milestones such as RP2D identification, patient enrollment, and signal seeking are marked, with regulatory focus toward FDA and EMA.
