(Nasdaq: QTTB) ("Q32 Bio"), a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing innovative therapies for alopecia areata ("AA") and other autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, today announced positive 36-week topline results from Part B of the SIGNAL-AA Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating bempikibart in patients with severe or very severe AA. Bempikibart is a fully human anti-IL-7Rα antibody designed to re-regulate adaptive immune function by blocking IL-7 and TSLP signaling. "Today's Part B 36-week topline results mark a significant milestone for Q32 Bio, supporting our target efficacy and safety profile and providing compelling evidence reinforcing the therapeutic potential of bempikibart in alopecia areata," said Jodie Morrison, Chief Executive Officer of Q32 Bio. "We believe these findings highlight the opportunity to deliver a differentiated, targeted treatment option for patients who remain in need of an effective, safe, and more durable alternative to JAK inhibitors. These results support advancement in alopecia areata and strengthen our conviction in bempikibart's applicability across the broader autoimmune and inflammatory landscape. We are grateful to the patients, investigators, employees, and clinical development partners who helped make today's announcement possible." "Alopecia areata is a complex, immune driven disease with limited therapeutic options. The robust efficacy data in a population that includes JAK inhibitor-experienced patients, combined with a differentiated safety profile, demonstrate the potential for bempikibart to be a first-line treatment for alopecia areata," said Arash Mostaghimi, MD, MPA, MPH, Associate Professor of Dermatology and Vice Chair of Clinical Trials and Innovation, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School. "For patients and prescribers seeking an effective and safe alternative to JAK inhibitors, these findings are encouraging and merit further clinical advancement."
