It joined the exchange in 2013.
In October 2023, Bristol Myers Squibb agreed to acquire the company in an all-cash deal worth $4.8 billion, and an additional $1 billion in milestone payment. The acquisition was completed in January 2024.

The company’s leading drug candidates are sitravatinib and adagrasib. Mirati also has a preclinical candidate against the G12D mutation.
