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 deliver genetic therapies to address diseases by deploying gene editing technology, Prime Editing. The company is deploying Prime Editing technology, a versatile, precise, efficient and broad gene editing technology, which is designed to make only the right edit at the right position within a gene. With the theoretical potential to repair approximately 90 percent of known disease-causing genetic mutations across many organs and cell types, medicines based on Prime Editing, if approved, could offer a one-time curative genetic therapeutic option to a broad set of patients. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in September 2019. Reverse Stock Split On October 12, 2022, in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the Company effected a 1-for-3.10880 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock and a proportional adjustment to the existing conversion ratios of each series of the Company’s preferred stock (see Note 6). Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect this stock split and adjustment of the preferred stock conversion ratios. Liquidity and capital resources Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of our resources to building our Prime editing platform and advancing development of our portfolio of programs, establishing and protecting our intellectual property, conducting research and development activities, organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital and providing general and administrative support for these operations. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, technical risks associated with the successful research, development and manufacturing of product candidates, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Current and future programs will require significant 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. Even if the Company’s drug development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales. In October 2022, the Company completed its IPO of its common stock. In connection with its IPO, the Company issued and sold 11,721,456 shares of its common stock, including 1,427,338 shares pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a price to the public of $17.00 per share. As a result of the IPO, the Company received $180.3 million in net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs of $19.0 million. In connection with the IPO, all outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock converted into 51,923,758 shares of the Company’s common stock. 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, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, 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. Since its inception, the Company has incurred substantial losses and as of September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $253.9 million. The Company expects to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents, and short term investments as of September 30, 2022 of $146.7 million will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. The Company will need additional financing to support its continuing operations and 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 equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. The Company may be unable to raise additional funds 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. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Prime Medicine, Inc. are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2022 and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are also unaudited. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2021 was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s final prospectus for its IPO filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 21, 2022.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesThe Company's significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2, "Summary of significant accounting policies," in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and notes thereto, included in the Company’s final prospectus for its IPO filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act with the SEC on October 21, 2022. Since the date of those financial statements, there have been no material changes to its significant accounting policies. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected within these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the valuation of the Company’s common stock and stock-based awards, the valuation of preferred stock tranche right liability, the valuation of the anti-dilution obligation and the valuation of the related party forward contract liability. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates or assumptions. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of initial purchase to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount of cash equivalents included in cash and cash equivalents totaled $28.8 million and $49.5 million, respectively. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consisted of letters of credit totaling $13.5 million and $13.1 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, that are required to be maintained in connection with the Company’s lease arrangements. Both letters of credit are in the name of the Company’s landlords and are required to fulfill lease requirements in the event the Company should default on its lease obligations. As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company classified its restricted cash as non-current on the consolidated balance sheets based on the release dates of the restrictions. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This standard eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) computation. Additionally, the amended guidance requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted EPS and the treasury stock method will no longer be available. For public business entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years using the fully retrospective or modified retrospective method. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that ASU 2020-06 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures but does not currently expect that the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have a material impact.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements We record cash equivalents, short-term investments, preferred stock tranche right liability, anti-dilution obligation and the related party forward contract liability at fair value. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , establishes a fair value hierarchy for those instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and our own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The carrying values of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these liabilities. The hierarchy consists of three levels: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level within the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2022: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market funds $ — $ 28,819 $ — $ 28,819 Short-term investment: U.S. Treasury bills and government securities — 89,175 — 89,175 Related party short-term investment: Beam equity securities 9,543 — — 9,543 $ 9,543 $ 117,994 $ — $ 127,537 Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market funds $ — $ 49,450 $ — $ 49,450 Short-term investment: U.S. Treasury bills and government securities — 68,238 — 68,238 Related party short-term investment: Beam equity securities 15,962 — — 15,962 $ 15,962 $ 117,688 $ — $ 133,650 Liabilities: Related party forward contract liability — — 12,020 12,020 $ — $ — $ 12,020 $ 12,020 The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury as short-term based on each instrument’s underlying contractual maturity date. The fair value of the Company’s U.S. Treasury securities and money market funds are classified as Level 2 because they are valued using observable inputs to quoted market prices, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency and U.S. Treasury securities. The underlying securities held in the money market funds held by the Company are all government backed securities. Short-term investments consisted of the following (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2022 Amortized Cost Unrealized Gains Unrealized Losses Fair Value Short-term investments: U.S. Treasury bills and government securities $ 89,629 $ (454) $ 89,175 Related party short-term investment: Beam equity securities 5,486 4,057 — 9,543 $ 95,115 $ 4,057 $ (454) $ 98,718 December 31, 2021 Amortized Cost Unrealized Gains Unrealized Losses Fair Value Short-term investments: U.S. Treasury bills and government securities $ 68,265 $ — $ (27) $ 68,238 Related party short-term investment: Beam equity securities $ 5,486 $ 10,476 $ — $ 15,962 $ 73,751 $ 10,476 $ (27) $ 84,200 The contractual maturities of the Company’s short-term investments in available-for-sale debt securities held were as follows: September 30, December 31, Due within one year $ 89,175 $ 68,238 $ 89,175 $ 68,238 Valuation of Preferred Stock Tranche Right Liability The preferred stock tranche right liability in the table above is composed of the fair value of rights to purchase Series A Preferred Stock (see Note 6). The fair value of the preferred stock tranche right liability was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represented a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the preferred stock tranche right liability was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which considered as inputs the estimated fair value of the preferred stocks as of each valuation date, the risk-free interest rate, volatility and estimated time to each tranche closing. The most significant assumption in the Black-Scholes option pricing model impacting the fair value of the preferred stock tranche right liability is the fair value of the Company’s convertible preferred stock as of each measurement date. The Company determines the fair value per share of the underlying convertible preferred stock by taking into consideration the most recent sales of its convertible preferred stock, results obtained from third-party valuations and additional factors the Company deems relevant. In November 2020, the second tranche of the Series A Preferred Stock closed. The fair value of each Series A Preferred Stock was $0.73 per share upon the closing of the second tranche. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of Series A Preferred Stock was $0.76 per share. In April 2021, the third and fourth tranches of the Series A Preferred Stock closed. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions and the closing date of the third and fourth tranches, the associated Series A preferred stock tranche right liability was settled. The fair value of Series A Preferred Stock was $2.31 per share upon the closing of the third and fourth tranches. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve for time periods approximately equal to the remaining estimated time to each tranche closing. The volatility is based on the historical volatility of publicly traded peer companies. Changes in the estimated fair value of the Company’s convertible preferred stock can have a significant impact on the fair value of the preferred stock tranche right liability. The preferred stock tranche right liability was initially recorded at fair value upon the date of issuance of the preferred stock tranche right and is subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date, and immediately prior to the closing dates of Series A preferred stock tranches. Changes in the fair value of the preferred stock tranche right liability are recognized as a component of other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of the preferred stock tranche right liability were recognized until the preferred stock tranche right liability was settled in full upon the satisfaction of certain conditions in April 2021. The following table provides a roll-forward of the aggregate fair value of the Company’s preferred stock tranche right liability, for which fair value is determined using Level 3 inputs (in thousands): Preferred Stock Tranche Right Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 17,515 Change in fair value of Series A preferred stock tranche right liability 74,319 Reclassification of Series A preferred stock tranche right liability upon settlement (91,834) Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ — Valuation of Anti-dilution Obligation The fair value of the anti-dilution obligation recognized in connection with the anti-dilution provisions set forth in the Company's license agreement with Broad Institute (see Note 11) was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represented a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the anti-dilution obligation was estimated using a probability-weighted scenario which considered as inputs the probability of occurrence of events that would trigger the issuance of shares, including (i) the closing of Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) the Company’s initial public offering, and (iii) no future sale of equity securities. The weighted-average fair value of all scenarios was calculated utilizing the fair value per share of the underlying common stock. Changes in the estimated fair value of common stock and the probability of achieving different financing scenarios can have a significant impact on the fair value of the anti-dilution obligation. The most significant assumption impacting the fair value of the anti-dilution obligation was the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of each measurement date. The Company determined the fair value per share of the underlying common stock by taking into consideration the most recent sales of its convertible preferred stock, results obtained from third-party valuations and additional factors the Company deems relevant. The per share fair value of the Company’s common stock was $0.35 as of December 31, 2020. Immediately prior to the settlement of the anti-dilution obligation, the fair value of the Company’s common stock was $3.02 per share. The anti-dilution obligation was initially recorded at fair value upon entering into the license agreement with Broad Institute and was subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value of the anti-dilution obligation were recognized as a component of other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of the anti-dilution obligation were recognized until achievement of $100.0 million in cumulative equity financing is raised by the Company, which was achieved in connection with the fourth Series A Preferred Stock closing, resulting in the issuance of 2,498,850 shares of common stock to Broad Institute with a fair value of $7.5 million. The following table provides a roll-forward of the aggregate fair value of the Company’s anti-dilution obligation, for which fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs (in thousands): Anti-dilution Obligation Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 855 Change in fair value of anti-dilution obligation 6,681 Reclassification of anti-dilution obligation upon settlement (7,536) Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ — Valuation of the Related Party Forward Contract Liability The Company measured its related party forward contract liability, which was established in connection with its obligation to issue shares of its common stock to Myeloid Therapeutics, Inc. (“Myeloid”) under a stock subscription agreement (see Note 11), at fair value based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represented a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The initial fair value of the related party forward contract liability was determined based on the number of shares to be issued by the Company and the then per share fair value of the Company’s common stock, which was determined based, in part, on a third-party valuation that utilized methodologies and assumptions consistent with the Company’s most recent common stock valuations, including on a minority, nonmarketable interest basis. Changes in the fair value of the related party forward contract liability will be recognized as other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations through the settlement date. There was no change in the fair value of the Co mpany’s common stock from the initial date of the related party forward contract liability and December 31, 2021 and the settlement which occurred in January 2022. Upon settlement, the fair value of the related party forward contract liability was reclassified to equity upon issuance of the common stock to Myeloid. A reconciliation of the related party forward contract liability measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows (in thousands): Forward Contract Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ 12,020 Reclassification of related party forward contract liability upon settlement (12,020) Balance as of September 30, 2022 $ —

Temporary Equity Disclosure [Abstract]
Convertible Preferred Stock	Convertible Preferred Stock The Company has issued Series A Preferred Stock and Series B convertible preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”). The Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock, described in more detail below, converted into 37,236,772 shares and 14,686,986 shares of common stock, respectively, in October 2022 as part of the Company’s IPO. In September 2019, the Company completed its first closing of its Series A Preferred Stock and issued and sold 10,000,001 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $1.00 per share for gross proceeds of $10.0 million (the “2019 Preferred Stock Financing”). The Company incurred issuance costs of $20,000 in connection with this transaction. The purchase agreement for the Series A Preferred Stock obligated the investors of the 2019 Preferred Stock Financing to purchase an additional 104,999,997 Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $1.00 per share in the subsequent closings upon certain conditions (“Series A Subsequent Closings”). The investors’ obligation to purchase shares in the subsequent closing terminated upon occurrence of a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), the Company’s initial public offering, or bankruptcy by the Company. If an investor did not participate in the subsequent closing when obligated to do so, then any existing Series A Preferred Stock held by that investor would be converted into common shares of the Company on a ten-for-one basis. The Company concluded that these obligations of investors to participate in the subsequent closing of Series A Preferred Stock met the definition of a freestanding financial instrument that was required to be recorded as a liability at fair value as (i) the instruments are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) the rights will require the Company to transfer assets upon future closings of the Series A Preferred Stock. Upon the first closing of the Series A Preferred Stock in September 2019, the Company recorded a preferred stock tranche right liability of $6.3 million and a corresponding reduction to the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock (see Note 3). In November 2020, the Company completed the second closing of its Series A Preferred Stock, in which the Company issued and sold 34,999,999 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at a price of $1.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $35.0 million and incurred $46,000 of issuance costs. As the fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock was $0.73 at the time of the second closing, the Company recorded a capital contribution of $9.5 million for the difference between the fair value per share and the $1.00 per share paid by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock participating in the second closing, which included members of the Company’s board of directors. In April 2021, the Company completed the third and fourth closings of its Series A Preferred Stock, in which the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 70,761,842 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at a price of $1.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $70.8 million and incurred $41,000 of issuance costs. As a result of this issuance, the Series A preferred stock tranche right liability with a then fair value of $91.8 million, based on a fair value of $2.31 per share of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to the closings, was settled in full and reclassified as an increase to the carrying value of Series A Preferred Stock. In April 2021, the Company issued and sold 45,658,957 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at a price of $4.3803 per share, for gross proceeds of $200.0 million and incurred $0.4 million of issuance costs. Upon issuance of each series of Preferred Stock, the Company assessed the embedded conversion and liquidation features of the securities and determined that such features did not require the Company to separately account for these features. The Company also concluded that no beneficial conversion feature existed on the issuance date of each series of Preferred Stock. On October 12, 2022, in connection with the Company’s IPO, the Company effected a 1-for-3.10880 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock and a proportional adjustment to the existing conversion ratios of each series of the Company’s preferred stock. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect this stock split and adjustment of the preferred stock conversion ratios. As of each balance sheet date, the Preferred Stock consisted of the following (in thousands, except share amounts): September 30, 2022 Preferred Stock Authorized Preferred Stock Issued and Outstanding Carrying Value Liquidation Preference Conversion price per share Common Stock Issuable Upon Conversion Series A Preferred Stock 115,761,842 115,761,842 $ 196,157 $ 131,927 $ 3.10880 37,236,772 Series B Preferred Stock 45,658,957 45,658,957 199,643 $ 222,766 $ 13.6175 14,686,986 161,420,799 161,420,799 $ 395,800 $ 354,693 51,923,758 December 31, 2021 Preferred Stock Authorized Preferred Stock Issued and Outstanding Carrying Value Liquidation Preference Conversion price per share Common Stock Issuable Upon Conversion Series A Preferred Stock 115,761,842 115,761,842 $ 196,157 $ 125,000 $ 3.10880 37,236,776 Series B Preferred Stock 45,658,957 45,658,957 $ 199,643 $ 210,814 $ 13.6175 14,686,988 161,420,799 161,420,799 $ 395,800 $ 335,814 51,923,764 The holders of the Preferred Stock have the following rights and preferences: Voting The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, together with the holders of common stock, as a single class, on all matters submitted to the shareholders for a vote and are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of common stock into which the Preferred Stock could convert on the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to vote. A majority vote of the holders of Preferred Stock is required to, among others, liquidate or dissolve the Company, amend the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, reclassify common stock or establish another class of capital stock, create shares that would rank senior to or authorize additional shares of Preferred Stock, declare a dividend or make a distribution, or change the authorized number of directors constituting the board of directors. In addition, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting exclusively and as a separate class, are entitled to elect three directors of the Company. The holders of shares of common stock and any other class or series of voting stock (including the Series B Preferred Stock), exclusively and voting together as a single class, are entitled to elect the balance of the total number of directors of the Company. Conversion Each Preferred Stock is convertible into voting common stock, at any time, at the option of the holder, and without the payment of additional consideration, at the applicable conversion ratio then in effect. In addition, each share of Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into shares of common stock at the then-effective applicable conversion ratio upon either (i) the closing of a firm-commitment underwritten public offering of its common stock resulting in at least $50.0 million of gross proceeds, net of underwriting discount and commissions, to the Company, or (ii) the date specified by vote or written consent of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a single class. The conversion ratio of each class of Preferred Stock is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price of each class of Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price of each class. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Conversion Price was $3.10880 per share for Series A Preferred Stock and $13.6175 per share for Series B Preferred Stock, each subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any share dividend, share split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Preferred Stock. Upon the closing of the IPO in October 2022, 161,420,799 shares of outstanding convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into 51,923,758 shares of common stock, after the effect of the one-for-3.10880 reverse stock split, with the related carrying value of $395.8 million reclassified to common stock and additional paid-in capital. There shall be no adjustment in the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of additional shares of Company’s common stock if the Company receives written notice from the holders of at least 65 percent of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock agreeing that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of additional shares of the Company’s common stock. There shall be no adjustment in the conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of additional shares of the Company’s common stock if the Company receives written notice from the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock agreeing that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of such additional shares of the Company’s common stock. In the event that any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock is required to participate in a Series A Subsequent Closing pursuant to the purchase agreement does not purchase the aggregate number of subsequent closing shares, then each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder shall automatically be converted into shares of common stock at a ratio of one share of common stock for every ten shares of Series A Preferred Stock held immediately prior to the consummation of such Series A Subsequent Closing. Dividends The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of $0.25 per share per annum of the Original Issue Price when, as and if declared by the board of directors (the “Series A Preferred Dividend”). The holders of the series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of $1.09 per share per annum of the Original Issue Price when, as and if declared by the board of directors (the “Series B Preferred Dividend”, and together with Series A Preferred Dividend, the “Preferred Dividend”). The Company may not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on common shares of the Company unless the holders of Preferred Stock then outstanding first receive, or simultaneously receive, the Preferred Dividend on each outstanding Preferred Stock and a dividend on each outstanding Preferred Stock in an amount at least equal to the greater of (i) the amount of the aggregate Preferred Dividend then accrued on such share of Preferred Stock and not previously paid and (ii) (a) in the case of a dividend on common stock or any class or series that is convertible into common stock, that dividend per share of Preferred Stock as would equal to the product of (1) the dividend payable on each share of such class or series determined, as if all shares of such class or series had been converted into common stock and (2) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of a share of such series of Preferred Stock, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of the holders entitle to receive such dividend or the dividend payable on each share of such class or series determined, if applicable, as if all shares of such class or series had been converted into common shares or (b) in the case of a dividend on any class or series that is not convertible into common stock, at a rate per share of Preferred Stock determined by (1) dividing the amount of dividend payable on each share of such class or series of capital stock by the original issuance price of such class or series of capital stock and (2) multiplying such faction by an amount equal to the Original Issue Price for such series of Preferred Stock. If the Company declares, pays, or sets aside, on the same date, a dividend on shares of more than one class or series of shares in the capital of the Company (other than the Preferred Stock), the dividend payable to the holders of Preferred Stock shall be calculated based upon the dividend on the class or series of shares in the capital of the Company that would result in the highest dividend on the Preferred Stock. Through September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 no cash dividends have been declared or paid. Liquidation In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or upon the occurrence of a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), the holders of shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding are entitled, on a pari passu basis, to be paid out of the assets or funds of the Company available for distribution to stockholders before any payment is made to the holders of common stock. The holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to an amount per share equal to (i) in the case of Series A Preferred Stock, the Original Issue Price plus any accruing dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon, and (ii) in the case of Series B Preferred Stock, the greater of (a) the applicable Original Issue Price plus any accruing dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared, or not declared, but unpaid thereon (the "Series B Preference Amount") or (b) the amount that would have been payable had all shares of each series of Preferred Stock been converted into common stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below). After the payment in full of the Series A Preferred Stock preference amount and if applicable, the Series B Preference Amount, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and common stock on a pro rata basis provided that such distribution includes holders of Series B Preferred Stock if such distribution is greater than the Series B Preference Amount. Unless at least the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, elect otherwise, a Deemed Liquidation Event shall include a merger, consolidation, or share exchange (other than one in which stockholders of the Company own a majority by voting power of the outstanding shares of the surviving or acquiring corporation) or a sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. Redemption As of December 31, 2020, at the written election of at least 65 percent of the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class and on an as-converted to common stock basis, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding were redeemable, at any time on or after the fifth anniversary of issuance, in three equal annual installments commencing 60 days after receipt of the required vote. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock were redeemable in an amount equal to the Original Issue Price per share plus any accruing dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared. In April 2021, in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock closing, the Company adopted an amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which removed the redemptions rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock. As a result of this amendment, Series A Preferred Stock was no longer redeemable at the option of the holders. The Company determined that the changes to the rights underlying the Series A Preferred Stock was not substantive and did not materially modify the rights and preferences of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock. Prior to the amendment, the Company recognized changes in the redemption values of its Series A Preferred Stock over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date and adjusted the carrying value of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the redemption date. During the period from September 19, 2019 (inception) to December 31, 2019, the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Company recorded adjustments to increase the carrying values of the Series A Preferred Stock by an aggregate of $0.3 million, $1.6 million, and $1.5 million, respectively, which resulted in an increase in redeemable convertible preferred stock by those amounts, offset by charges against additional paid-in-capital, if any, and then in the absence of additional paid-in capital the accretion is charged to the accumulated deficit. The Company’s articles of the corporation, as amended and restated, does not provide redemption rights to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock. The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Company’s common stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preferences of the holders of the Preferred Stock set forth above. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote, together with the holders of the Preferred Stock, on all matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as declared by the Company’s board of directors, subject to the preferential dividend rights of Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2022 the Company had reserved 57,287,852 shares, respectively, of common stock for the potential conversion of shares of Preferred Stock into common stock, the exercise of outstanding stock options for common stock, and the issuance of common stock options and restricted stock awards remaining available for grant under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan.

Equity [Abstract]
Common Stock	Convertible Preferred Stock The Company has issued Series A Preferred Stock and Series B convertible preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”). The Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock, described in more detail below, converted into 37,236,772 shares and 14,686,986 shares of common stock, respectively, in October 2022 as part of the Company’s IPO. In September 2019, the Company completed its first closing of its Series A Preferred Stock and issued and sold 10,000,001 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $1.00 per share for gross proceeds of $10.0 million (the “2019 Preferred Stock Financing”). The Company incurred issuance costs of $20,000 in connection with this transaction. The purchase agreement for the Series A Preferred Stock obligated the investors of the 2019 Preferred Stock Financing to purchase an additional 104,999,997 Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $1.00 per share in the subsequent closings upon certain conditions (“Series A Subsequent Closings”). The investors’ obligation to purchase shares in the subsequent closing terminated upon occurrence of a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), the Company’s initial public offering, or bankruptcy by the Company. If an investor did not participate in the subsequent closing when obligated to do so, then any existing Series A Preferred Stock held by that investor would be converted into common shares of the Company on a ten-for-one basis. The Company concluded that these obligations of investors to participate in the subsequent closing of Series A Preferred Stock met the definition of a freestanding financial instrument that was required to be recorded as a liability at fair value as (i) the instruments are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) the rights will require the Company to transfer assets upon future closings of the Series A Preferred Stock. Upon the first closing of the Series A Preferred Stock in September 2019, the Company recorded a preferred stock tranche right liability of $6.3 million and a corresponding reduction to the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock (see Note 3). In November 2020, the Company completed the second closing of its Series A Preferred Stock, in which the Company issued and sold 34,999,999 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at a price of $1.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $35.0 million and incurred $46,000 of issuance costs. As the fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock was $0.73 at the time of the second closing, the Company recorded a capital contribution of $9.5 million for the difference between the fair value per share and the $1.00 per share paid by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock participating in the second closing, which included members of the Company’s board of directors. In April 2021, the Company completed the third and fourth closings of its Series A Preferred Stock, in which the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 70,761,842 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at a price of $1.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $70.8 million and incurred $41,000 of issuance costs. As a result of this issuance, the Series A preferred stock tranche right liability with a then fair value of $91.8 million, based on a fair value of $2.31 per share of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to the closings, was settled in full and reclassified as an increase to the carrying value of Series A Preferred Stock. In April 2021, the Company issued and sold 45,658,957 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at a price of $4.3803 per share, for gross proceeds of $200.0 million and incurred $0.4 million of issuance costs. Upon issuance of each series of Preferred Stock, the Company assessed the embedded conversion and liquidation features of the securities and determined that such features did not require the Company to separately account for these features. The Company also concluded that no beneficial conversion feature existed on the issuance date of each series of Preferred Stock. On October 12, 2022, in connection with the Company’s IPO, the Company effected a 1-for-3.10880 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock and a proportional adjustment to the existing conversion ratios of each series of the Company’s preferred stock. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect this stock split and adjustment of the preferred stock conversion ratios.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation 2019 Equity Incentive Plan The Company’s 2019 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “2019 Plan”) provides for the Company to grant incentive stock options (“ISO”), non-qualified stock options, unrestricted stock awards, restricted stock awards (“RSA”) and other stock-based awards (collectively, the “Awards”) to the officers, employees, consultants and other key persons of the Company. The 2019 Plan is administered by the board of directors, or at the discretion of the board of directors, by a committee of the board of directors. The exercise prices, vesting and other restrictions are determined at the discretion of the board of directors, or its committee if so delegated. The total number of shares of common stock issuable under the 2019 Plan was 6,171,635. In April 2021, the Company’s board of directors further increased the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan from 6,171,635 shares to 11,561,815 shares. As of September 30, 2022 there were 1,392,540 shares remaining available for future grants under the 2019 Plan. Shares of unused common stock underlying any Awards that are forfeited, canceled or reacquired by the Company prior to vesting will again be available for the grant of awards under the 2019 Plan. The exercise price for stock options granted may not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the board of directors, or at least 110 percent of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant in the case of an ISO granted to an employee who owns stock representing more than 10 percent of the voting power of all classes of stock (“10% Owner”) as determined by the board of directors as of the date of grant. The Company’s board of directors determines the fair market value of the Company’s common stock, taking into consideration its most recently available valuation of common stock performed by third parties as well as additional factors which may have changed since the date of the most recent contemporaneous valuation through the date of grant. Unless otherwise provided, at the time of grant, the options granted pursuant to the 2019 Plan expire ten years from the date of grant, or five years from the date of grant in the case of an ISO that is granted to a 10% Owner. Awards typically vest over four years, with the first 25 percent vesting on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and the remainder vesting in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter, contingent on the recipient’s continued employment, service or relationship with the Company. In October 2022, the Company completed its IPO, and in connection with the closing the Board determined that no further awards would be granted under the 2019 Plan. 2022 Stock Option and Incentive Plan On February 9, 2022, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and on October 10, 2022 its stockholders approved, the 2022 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which became effective immediately preceding the date on which the registration statement for the Company’s IPO is declared effective by the SEC. The 2022 Plan allows the Company to make equity-based and cash-based incentive awards to its officers, employees, directors, and consultants. The 2022 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. The number of shares initially reserved for issuance under the 2022 Plan is 8,041,688 shares, which includes the number of shares remaining available for grant under the 2019 Plan, as of the effective date, for the issuance of awards under the 2022 Plan. In addition, the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2022 Plan will automatically increase on January 1, 2023 and each January 1 thereafter, by five percent of the outstanding number of shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number of shares as determined by the compensation committee. The shares of common stock underlying any awards under the 2022 Plan and the 2019 Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, held back upon exercise or settlement of an award to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of stock, expire, or are otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) will be added back to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2022 Plan. As of September 30, 2022, no options were issued and outstanding under the 2022 Plan. 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan On February 9, 2022, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and on October 10, 2022 its stockholders approved, the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2022 ESPP”), which became effective immediately preceding the date on which the registration statement for the Company’s IPO is declared effective by the SEC. A total of 971,350 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under this plan. The number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2022 ESPP shall cumulatively increase beginning on January 1, 2023 and each January 1 thereafter through January 1, 2032, by the least of (i) 971,350 shares of common stock, (ii) one percent of the outstanding number of shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31, or (iii) such number of shares of common stock as determined by the administrator of the 2022 ESPP. No shares of the Company’s common stock were issued and no stock-based compensation expense was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 related to the 2022 ESPP. Stock Options The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity since December 31, 2021: Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Balance at December 31, 2021 3,002,803 $ 3.96 Granted 1,160,074 8.40 Exercised (55,687) 3.67 Forfeited (135,633) 4.66 Balance at September 30, 2022 3,971,557 $ 5.24 Options vested and exercisable at September 30, 2022 536,064 $ 3.71 Options vested and expected to vest at September 30, 2022 3,971,557 $ 5.24 As of September 30, 2022, there was $16.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to time-based unvested stock options the Company expects to recognize such amount over a remaining weighted-average period of 3.2 years. Performance-Based Stock Options During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company granted performance-based stock options to purchase 241,248 shares of common stock. The performance-based options commence vesting upon the achievement of (i) IND acceptance, (ii) consummation of the Company’s IPO and (iii) a research milestone to be mutually agreed upon and vest over three equal installments. On February 9, 2022, the Company’s board of directors established and approved the third performance-based vesting milestone, which requires the building of a chemistry facility, initiation of pegRNA piloting operations, and production of a GLP toxicology lot suitable for in vivo non-human primate studies, for stock options to purchase 80,416 shares of common stock granted on October 27, 2021 to the Company’s CTO. The first two performance-based vesting conditions for stock options to purchase 160,833 shares of common stock granted were established by the board of directors on October 27, 2021. The grant date of these awards for accounting purposes is the date on which the performance conditions of the award were established by the board of directors and all terms of the award were known by the recipient. As a result, the grant-date fair value of each such award for accounting purposes was determined on October 27, 2021 and such awards are reflected in the Company’s total stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2021. The performance-based vesting condition for stock options to purchase 80,416 shares of common stock granted on October 27, 2021 which was not established by the Company’s board of directors until February 9, 2022 and therefore a grant date for accounting purposes had not been established for those stock options as of December 31, 2021 although such stock options are included in the Company’s total stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2021. The accounting grant date was established on February 9, 2022 and as such are outstanding stock options for accounting purposes as of September 30, 2022. In June 2022, the Company granted three performance-based stock options to purchase a total of 32,166 shares of common stock. The performance-based options commence vesting upon the achievement of (i) IND acceptance, (ii) consummation of the Company’s IPO and (iii) first regulatory designation granted to Prime Medicine and vest over three equal installments. The grant date of these awards for accounting purposes is the date on which the performance conditions of the award are established by the board of directors and all terms of the award are known by the recipient. As a result, the grant-date fair value for accounting purposes for the first performance-based stock options to purchase 10,722 shares of common stock was determined on June 3, 2022, when the performance-based vesting conditions were established by the board of directors and the terms of the awards were communicated to the recipients. The second and third performance-based vesting conditions for stock options to purchase the remaining 21,444 shares of common stock was not established by the Company’s board of directors until August 4, 2022 and therefore a grant date for accounting purposes had not been established for those stock options as of September 30, 2022 although such stock options are included in the Company’s total stock options outstanding for legal purposes as of September 30, 2022. In August 2022, the Company granted 90,066 shares of performance-based options, at an exercise price of $7.96 per share. This includes two grants, and 57,900 of the performance-based options vest in three equal installments upon the achievement of (i) IND acceptance, (ii) consummation of the Company’s IPO and (iii) business development deals which generate $100.0 million or more in upfront and near-term unrestricted cash. The remaining 32,166 of the performance-based options vest in three equal installments upon the achievement of (i) IND acceptance, (ii) consummation of the Company’s IPO and (iii) maximize the senior leadership team effectiveness by accomplishment of four criteria through year end 2023. The grant date of these awards for accounting purposes is the date on which the performance conditions of the award are established by the board of directors and all terms of the award are known by the recipient. As a result, the grant-date fair value for accounting purposes was determined on August 4, 2022, when the performance-based vesting conditions were established by the board of directors and the terms of the awards were communicated to the recipients. The aggregate grant-date fair value is $0.5 million. Through September 30, 2022, the Company concluded that the achievement of all of the performance conditions for such awards was not probable or consummated. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was $2.6 million and $1.4 million respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance-based stock options. Restricted Common Stock Awards The Company awards restricted common stock to employees and non-employees under its 2019 Plan. The fair value of each share of restricted common stock is based on the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. For a period of up to six months from a grantee’s termination, the Company has the right and option to repurchase unvested restricted common stock at the lower of (i) the original purchase price per share ($0.00004) or (ii) the fair market value per share as of the date of the Company elects to exercise its repurchase right. In August 2021, the Company repurchased 18,227 unvested shares of the restricted common stock at a price of $0.00004 per share, the original sale price, and the repurchased common shares were restored to the amount of unissued, authorized shares of common stock as of December 31, 2021. In May 2022, the Company repurchased 3,116 unvested shares of the restricted common stock at a price of $0.00004 per share, the original sale price, and the repurchased common shares were restored to the amount of unissued, authorized shares of common stock as of September 30, 2022. Shares of restricted common stock granted to employees and directors are not deemed, for accounting purposes, to be outstanding until those shares have vested. Each award type is discussed below. Time-Based Restricted Common Stocks The majority of the restricted common stock have time-based vesting conditions and vest over a four-year period, subject to the employee’s continued employment with, or service to, the Company on such vesting date. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Time-Based Restricted Common Stock In September 2019, a co-founder of the Company was granted a total of 20,835,277 shares of restricted common stock, of which 3,472,545 shares are performance-based restricted common stock as described below. The remaining 17,362,732 shares are subject to service conditions. In February 2020, another co-founder of the Company was granted 694,679 shares of restricted common stock that are subject to service conditions. These awards vest over a four-year period and provide for accelerated vesting of a portion of the unvested awards, as determined in the award agreement, upon the initial or subsequent closings of the Series A Preferred Stock. Upon the grant date, the Company determined the initial and subsequent closings of the Series A Preferred Stock were probable to occur and recognized the compensation expense over the expected service period. The following table summarizes the Company’s time-based restricted common stock activity since December 31, 2021: Number of Shares Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Unvested restricted common stock at December 31, 2021 10,801,361 $ 0.10 Issued — — Vested (4,385,478) 0.09 Repurchased (11,160) 0.35 Unvested restricted common stock at September 30, 2022 6,404,723 $ 0.04 The aggregate fair value of restricted common stock that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $0.4 million. As of September 30, 2022, there was $0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested ti me-based restricted common stock which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years. Performance-Based Restricted Common Stock The Company has also granted performance‑based restricted common stock to certain executive officers and key persons of the Company with terms that allow the grantees to vest in a specific number of shares based upon the achievement of performance‑based milestones. The Company granted 3,472,545 shares of performance-based restricted common stock to a co-founder of the Company in 2019, which will vest upon on the dosing of first patient in a Phase II or later-stage clinical trial or FDA approval of compound. The Company granted 694,679 and 385,998 shares of performance-based restricted common stock to certain executive officers in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. These awards vest in three equal installments upon the achievements of (i) proof of concept in lead indication (which was achieved in May 2022), (ii) IND acceptance and (iii) consummation of the Company’s IPO. Share‑based compensation expense associated with the performance-based restricted common stock is recognized if the performance condition is considered probable of achievement using the Company’s best estimates of the time to vesting for the achievement of the performance‑based milestones. Each reporting period, the Company updates its assessment of the probability that the performance-based milestones will be achieved. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Company has concluded it was not probable that these performance conditions related to performance-based restricted common stock would be achieved, and as a result no compensation expense related to the performance-based restricted common stock has been recorded. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has concluded that the proof of concept in a lead indication was achieved in May 2022, but it was not probable that the remaining performance conditions related to performance-based restricted common stock would be achieved. As a result, compensation expense of $0.1 million was recorded for the milestone achieved, and no compensation expense related to the remaining performance-based restricted common stock has been recorded. The fair value of the restricted common stock was based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The following table summarizes the Company’s performance-based restricted common stock activity since December 31, 2021: Number of Shares Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Unvested restricted common stock at December 31, 2021 4,553,223 $ 0.10 Issued — — Vested (360,226) 0.19 Repurchased — — Unvested restricted common stock at September 30, 2022 4,192,997 $ 0.10 As of September 30, 2022, there was $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested performance-based restricted common stock.

Leases	Leases Our building leases are comprised of office and laboratory space under non-cancelable operating leases. These lease agreements have remaining lease terms of five years and contain various clauses for renewal at our option. The renewal options were not included in the calculation of the operating lease assets and the operating lease liabilities as the renewal options are not reasonably certain of being exercised. The lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Leases The Company’s commitments under its operating leases are described in Note 9. Additionally, as part of the lease agreement the Company entered into in May 2022 for 480 Arsenal Street, the Company signed a participation rights agreement for up to $2.0 million, which allows the landlord or an affiliate or designee of the landlord to participate in any future issuance of equity at the same terms and pricing as other investors. Since the right to participate is on the same terms and pricing afforded to other investors, the participation right is deemed to be at fair value with no separate accounting required. With the completion of our IPO in October 2022, this agreement terminated. License and Collaboration Agreements The Company entered into various license and collaboration agreements under which it is obligated to make fixed and contingent payments (see Note 10). 401(k) Plan The Company maintains a defined-contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan covers all employees who meet defined minimum age and service requirements and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pre-t ax basis. Matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan may be made at the discretion of management. The Company is not required to make any matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan. In July 2022, the Company announced a new company match for the 401(k) retirement plan beginning on July 1, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company has contributed $0.1 million. As of September 30, 2022, $0.3 million is included within accrued expenses. Indemnification Agreements In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with all board of directors that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company is not aware of any indemnification arrangements that could have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings or other litigation relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and that such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and estimated exposure amount. Legal fees and other costs associated with such proceedings are expensed as incurred. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company was not a party to any material legal proceedings or claims.

Net Loss per Share	Net Loss per Share Basic and diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders was calculated as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2022 2021 2022 2021 Numerator: Net loss $ (29,350) $ (16,412) $ (82,538) $ (102,456) Accretion of preferred stock to redemption value — — — (1,468) Cumulative dividend on preferred stock (6,362) (6,363) (18,879) (10,922) Net loss attributable to common stockholders $ (35,712) $ (22,775) $ (101,417) $ (114,846) Denominator: Weighted-average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted 22,226,301 14,965,186 20,665,225 11,795,738 Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted $ (1.61) $ (1.52) $ (4.91) $ (9.74) Diluted net loss per share available to common shareholders was computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. For purposes of this calculation, preferred stock, unvested restricted stock and stock options to purchase common stock were considered common stock equivalents but had been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share available to common shareholders as their effect was anti-dilutive. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss available to common shareholders, diluted net loss per share available to common shareholders is the same as basic net loss per share available to common shareholders, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect: As of September 30, 2022 2022 2021 Convertible preferred stock (as converted to common stock) 51,923,758 51,923,764 Stock Options to purchase common stock 3,971,557 1,311,101 Unvested restricted common stock 10,597,726 16,750,912 66,493,041 69,985,777

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Prime Medicine, Inc. are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2022 and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are also unaudited. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2021 was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s final prospectus for its IPO filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 21, 2022.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected within these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the valuation of the Company’s common stock and stock-based awards, the valuation of preferred stock tranche right liability, the valuation of the anti-dilution obligation and the valuation of the related party forward contract liability. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates or assumptions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of initial purchase to be cash equivalents
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This standard eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) computation. Additionally, the amended guidance requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted EPS and the treasury stock method will no longer be available. For public business entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years using the fully retrospective or modified retrospective method. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that ASU 2020-06 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures but does not currently expect that the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have a material impact.
