Q32 Bio Inc.
- SIGNAL-AA: post-hoc analysis showed 16% mean SALT reduction vs 2% placebo at week 24 (p=0.045); 9% vs 0% achieved SALT-20.
- SIGNAL-AD Part B failed primary endpoint: bempikibart 74% EASI improvement vs placebo 76% (not statistically significant).
- Bempikibart safe and well tolerated in both trials; no SAEs or Grade 3+ related adverse events.
- Company plans to enroll ~20 more patients in AA expansion; defers ADX-097 AAV Phase 2 trial to focus on bempikibart.
- Biomarker data show robust Th2/Th1 reduction and 20-30% T-cell modulation, confirming target engagement.
