Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On December 10, 2024, Q32 Bio Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release titled “Q32 Bio Provides Bempikibart Program Update, Including Next Steps for Advancing Alopecia Areata Development Program.” A copy of the press release in connection with the announcement is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto) is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
On December 10, 2024, the Company announced topline results from the SIGNAL-AA Phase 2a signal finding clinical trial evaluating bempikibart (ADX-914) in patients with alopecia areata (“AA”) and topline results from the SIGNAL-AD Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating bempikibart in atopic dermatitis (“AD”). The Company also updated its corporate deck, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Topline Results from SIGNAL-AA Phase 2a Clinical Trial
SIGNAL-AA is a Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center clinical trial evaluating bempikibart in adult patients with severe and very severe AA (baseline Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) scores of 50-100) treated over 24 weeks, with follow-up through 36 weeks. The study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bempikibart 200 mg administered subcutaneously (SC), every-other-week (Q2W) compared to placebo. A total of 44 patients were enrolled in the trial with a primary endpoint of the mean relative percent change in SALT score at 24 weeks compared with baseline.
Following database lock, one site was excluded from the efficacy analysis based on marked protocol violations of entry criteria. This resulted in the removal of three placebo patients, rendering the planned statistical analyses for the primary endpoint inappropriate due to the reduced sample size. On a post-hoc analysis of the remaining per-protocol population of patients with AA (n=27), bempikibart demonstrated an improvement in hair re-growth compared to placebo:
| |
• |
|
At week 24: patients treated with bempikibart showed a mean reduction in SALT score of 16% in the bempikibart group vs a reduction of 2% in the placebo group. A Wilcoxon Rank Sum test yielded a p-value of 0.045. |
| |
• |
|
At week 24: 9% of bempikibart patients in the trial achieved a SALT-20 (SALT score less than or equal to 20) compared to 0% in placebo. |
| |
• |
|
At week 26: 13% of bempikibart patients achieved SALT-20 compared 0% in placebo. |
Bempikibart was observed to be safe and well tolerated in the SIGNAL-AA trial. There were no serious adverse events (SAE) or Grade 3 or higher adverse events related to treatment.
The Company plans to enroll approximately 20 additional patients in a Part B expansion of the SIGNAL-AA Phase 2a clinical trial to further evaluate bempikibart in AA, including a loading regimen. The Company will defer enrollment into the planned Phase 2 clinical trial of ADX-097 in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis (AAV), previously expected to begin in 2025, to focus efforts on continued enrollment in the ongoing bempikibart AA and ADX-097 renal basket Phase 2 clinical trials.
Topline Results from SIGNAL-AD Phase 2a Clinical Trial
SIGNAL-AD is a two-part Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center clinical trial evaluating bempikibart in adult patients with persistent, moderate-to-severe AD. Part A (n=15) was conducted to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and to enable dose selection for Part B of the clinical trial. Part A was randomized 2:1 between bempikibart and placebo in each of two dose cohorts of 2mg/kg or 3mg/kg Q2W SC for 12 weeks.
In Part A, at week 14, improvement in average EASI score from baseline was 58% in patients treated with 2mg/kg Q2W SC and 84% in patients treated at 3mg/kg Q2W SC, and 72% on a pooled basis, compared to 38% in patients treated with placebo.
In Part B, which evaluated both efficacy and safety of bempikibart compared to placebo, patients were enrolled 1:1 in the bempikibart 200 mg Q2W SC (n=52) and placebo (n=54) arms for 12 weeks of treatment. The primary endpoint is the mean percent change from baseline to week 14 in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score. At week 14, data from Part B demonstrated that patients treated with bempikibart showed a 74% improvement in average EASI from baseline, compared to 76% for the placebo group (p= not statistically significant). Results of the primary endpoint were generally consistent when stratified for pre-specified baseline entry criteria. Bempikibart was observed to be safe and well tolerated in the SIGNAL-AD trial. There were no serious adverse events (SAE) or Grade 3 or higher adverse events related to treatment. The Company plans to conduct a review of the SIGNAL-AD results.
Biomarker Results in SIGNAL-AD and SIGNAL-AA:
Across SIGNAL-AD and SIGNAL-AA, bempikibart at 200mg Q2W SC demonstrated favorable PK and target engagement as demonstrated by substantial reductions in biomarkers of Th2 and Th1. These results include:
| |
• |
|
A reduction in Th2 biomarkers, including TARC, IgE and eosinophils, which was consistent with the type of biomarker impact previously observed with other agents that have demonstrated utility in atopic dermatitis, such as IL-4Rα, IL-13 and OX40 ligand-targeted agents. |
| |
• |
|
An expected modulation of T-cells, with a 20-30% reduction, consistent with target engagement and IL-7Rα blockade. |
The Company believes these results demonstrate that bempikibart is a potent inhibitor of both TSLP and IL-7 signaling as evidenced by robust changes in both Th2 biomarkers and T-cells. The Company believes the mechanism of action of bempikibart has the potential to be active in other Th2 and Th1 driven diseases, including asthma, COPD, ulcerative colitis (UC), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), celiac disease, multiple sclerosis (MS) and others.

Q32 Bio Provides Bempikibart Program Update, Including Next Steps for Advancing Alopecia Areata
Development Program
— SIGNAL-AA demonstrated encouraging clinical activity of
bempikibart in patients with alopecia areata (AA), including improvement from baseline on SALT score and meaningful achievement of SALT-20 response —
— SIGNAL-AD Phase 2a clinical trial in atopic dermatitis demonstrated promising findings in
Part A but did not meet primary endpoint in Part B —
— Across both trials, bempikibart was observed to be safe and well
tolerated; demonstrated potent IL-7 and TSLP inhibition via changes in both Th2 biomarkers and T-cells, and desired target engagement —
— Based on these results, Company plans to advance bempikibart in patients with AA —
WALTHAM, Mass.— December 10, 2024 – Q32 Bio Inc. (Nasdaq: QTTB) (“Q32 Bio”), a clinical stage biotechnology
company focused on developing biologic therapeutics to restore immune homeostasis, today announced topline results from the SIGNAL-AA Phase 2a signal finding clinical trial evaluating bempikibart (ADX-914), which identified encouraging clinical activity in patients with alopecia areata (AA). The Company plans to expand the SIGNAL-AA Phase 2a clinical trial and enroll
additional patients evaluating bempikibart in AA.
“We are pleased with the emerging signals observed in the
SIGNAL-AA Phase 2a clinical trial and based upon these, the positive biomarker data and well tolerated safety profile observed across both trials, we plan to enroll additional patients into the SIGNAL-AA clinical trial to further explore the clinical effects of bempikibart in this patient population. We believe bempikibart has the potential to be an important new treatment option in a disease needing new
and safer alternatives to currently approved agents,” said Jodie Morrison, Chief Executive Officer of Q32 Bio. “We are disappointed that the SIGNAL-AD trial did not achieve its primary endpoint.
Based upon the findings, including the high placebo rate, we plan to conduct a review to better understand the results.”
“Results from our
analysis of SIGNAL-AA showed clinically meaningful activity and a safety profile that we believe is differentiated from the currently approved therapies for AA. We are encouraged by our findings from this
clinical trial, and we look forward to advancing bempikibart as a potential treatment for AA,” said Jason Campagna, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer of Q32 Bio. “On behalf of Q32 Bio, I want to express my gratitude to the patients, their
caregivers, and clinical trial sites that participated across both our bempikibart Phase 2a trials.”
The Company is also providing an update on the SIGNAL-AD clinical trial in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). Although the Company is reporting promising findings in Part A, the trial did not meet its primary endpoint in Part B. Q32 Bio plans to conduct a
review of the results.
Topline Results from SIGNAL-AA Phase 2a Clinical Trial:
SIGNAL-AA is a Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center clinical trial evaluating
bempikibart in adult patients with severe and very severe AA (baseline Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) scores of 50-100) treated over 24 weeks, with follow-up through
36 weeks. The study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bempikibart 200 mg administered subcutaneously (SC), every-other-week (Q2W) compared to placebo. A total of 44 patients were enrolled in the trial with a primary endpoint
of the mean relative percent change in SALT score at 24 weeks compared with baseline.
Following database lock, one site was excluded from the efficacy
analysis based on marked protocol violations of entry criteria. This resulted in the removal of three placebo patients, rendering the planned statistical analyses for the primary endpoint inappropriate due to the reduced sample size. On a post-hoc analysis of the remaining per-protocol population of patients with AA (n=27), bempikibart demonstrated an improvement in hair
re-growth compared to placebo:
| |
• |
|
At week 24: patients treated with bempikibart showed a mean reduction in SALT score of 16% in the bempikibart
group vs a reduction of 2% in the placebo group. A Wilcoxon Rank Sum test yielded a p-value of 0.045. |
| |
• |
|
At week 24: 9% of bempikibart patients in the trial achieved a SALT-20
(SALT score less than or equal to 20) compared to 0% in placebo. |
| |
• |
|
At week 26: 13% of bempikibart patients achieved SALT-20 compared 0% in
placebo. |
Bempikibart was observed to be safe and well tolerated in the SIGNAL-AA trial. There
were no serious adverse events (SAE) or Grade 3 or higher adverse events related to treatment.
“Advancing bempikibart in AA is supported by
preclinical data demonstrating the potential of IL-7Rα inhibition in this disease, and now the resulting data from SIGNAL-AA demonstrated the clinical potential of
an IL-7Rα inhibitor in AA. I am encouraged by the biomarker data that provide evidence of biological activity, the safety profile of bempikibart, and the clinical signal of hair regrowth in
patients,” said Brett King, M.D., Ph.D., of Dermatology Physicians of Connecticut, and former Associate Professor of Dermatology, Yale University School of Medicine. “I believe these clinical results are promising and warrant further
advancement to expand upon these findings.”
Q32 Bio plans to enroll approximately 20 additional patients in a Part B expansion of the SIGNAL-AA Phase 2a clinical trial to further evaluate bempikibart in AA, including a loading regimen. The Company will defer enrollment into the planned Phase 2 clinical trial of
ADX-097 in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis (AAV), previously expected to begin in 2025, to focus efforts on continued enrollment in the ongoing bempikibart AA and ADX-097

“These impressive biomarker
data represent a meaningful advancement in the clinical understanding of how inhibition of IL-7Rα can be leveraged to treat autoimmune and inflammatory diseases,” said Shelia Violette, Ph.D., Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Q32 Bio. “Based upon its observed mechanism of action, bempikibart continues to show strong potential as an IL-7Rα
inhibitor to treat AA and other diseases.”
The Company has published an updated investor presentation with additional details regarding the bempikibart
update for review by interested parties. The updated presentation can be found on the company website at www.Q32Bio.com under Investors & Media.

SIGNAL-AA: Bempikibart Phase 2a Clinical Trial in Alopecia Areata
Alopecia Areata Design/Timeline Alopecia Areata is common, and psychosocially debilitating; scalp and Part A and B face commonly impacted • Part A (n=44) Key Assessments: 200mg SC Q2W vs placebo (3:1) • Autoimmune disease, often
associated with atopic disorders (atopic 24-week treatment (completed), 12-week follow up: dermatitis, asthma, allergic rhinitis) • Primary: Mean % change from baseline in SALT score at Week 24 • Affects ~2% of the population, often
manifesting before age 50 • Key Secondaries: Time to SALT change, proportion of patients • Up to 40% become chronic, including complete loss of scalp* and/or achieving SALT thresholds body hair**, severity of disease and long duration of
episode each associated with more gradual and lower rates of treatment response• Change from Baseline in Clinician Reported Outcome (ClinRO) for Eyebrow and Eyelash Hair Loss Despite JAKi approvals, there remains significant medical need
• Planned Part B: • Current lack of options for inducing remission, avoiding life-long • Further evaluate bempikibart in AA to expand upon encouraging treatment (JAK inhibitors require chronic treatment and hair loss activity
observed to date reoccurs with treatment cessation or taper) • Intend to enroll ~20 additional patients in an open-label expansion, • JAK inhibitors have shown efficacy, but also associated with expected to include a loading regimen
significant adverse events (i.e. black box warnings) • Changes in SALT from baseline • Timeline: Enrollment expected to initiate in 1H25 *Alopecia Totalis; **Alopecia Universalis 11

placebo (n= 6), p-value NS (not shown on table) 2 Due to resulting sample size following removal of the excluded site patients, normality and equal variance assumptions were not met for the planned statistical analyses. Given lack of normality
caused by small sample size, Wilcoxon Rank Sum test was selected as most appropriate to compare the responses in each group (p= 0.045). A randomized permutation test with 10,000 permutations further confirmed the statistical significance of treated
response over placebo by Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test (p=0.0432). Welch’s t-test was also considered (p-value of 0.0318) assuming normality to be met with a larger sample size 13 13
