Q32 Bio Presents Results from SIGNAL-AA Part A Clinical Trial
Evaluating Bempikibart in Patients with
Alopecia Areata at the 2025 American Academy of Dermatology Meeting
Results presented in AAD late-breaker demonstrate bempikibarts encouraging improvement on SALT
reduction at week 24 and continued effects after dosing cessation in patients with severe and very
severe alopecia areata (AA)
Durable, ongoing responses in multiple patients through week 36 follow-up period and beyond to
week 55, despite only 24 weeks of dosing, suggestive of potential for remittive effect; multiple inbound
patient requests to re-initiate dosing
In the Phase 2a clinical trial, bempikibart was observed to be safe and well-tolerated, with PK
supporting subcutaneous dosing and receptor occupancy data demonstrating desired target
engagement; clinical biomarkers showed changes in Th2 biomarkers, and expected on-mechanism
changes in T-cells, indicative of potent IL-7 and TSLP
inhibition
Bempikibart development program remains on track with open-label extension study to initiate in
1H25; SIGNAL-AA Part B remains on track for initiation of dosing in 1H25, with topline
data expected
in 1H26
WALTHAM, Mass. March 8, 2025 Q32 Bio Inc. (Nasdaq: QTTB) (Q32 Bio), a clinical stage biotechnology company
focused on developing biologic therapeutics to restore immune homeostasis, today announced additional results from Part A of its SIGNAL-AA Phase 2a clinical trial of bempikibart in patients with alopecia
areata (AA) at the 2025 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Meeting in Orlando, FL. Bempikibart is a fully human anti-IL-7Rα antibody that re-regulates adaptive immune function by blocking IL-7 and TSLP signaling that is in development for the treatment of AA and currently being evaluated in a Phase 2 program.
We are excited to share the results from our late-breaker at AAD which includes completed 36-week data and
extended follow-up of patients in long-term response who voluntarily re-consented for further assessments based on their maintenance or further deepening of responses
after the end of the trial, said Jodie Morrison, Chief Executive Officer of Q32 Bio. These findings demonstrate for the first time in patients the potential of an IL-7Rα antagonist approach to
deliver durable and sustained activity and recapitulate over a decade of nonclinical research highlighting the potential of this type of sustained response in multiple animal disease models. Given these exciting findings, we have committed to
advancing bempikibart as a potentially differentiated therapy for alopecia areata patients who have had limited treatment choices and, to date, no biologic option available.
The responses of patients with longstanding and severe disease, not only at 24 weeks but several weeks after treatment withdrawal, is very
provocative, said Brett King, M.D., Ph.D., of Dermatology Physicians of Connecticut, and former Associate Professor of Dermatology, Yale University School of Medicine. If the activity of bempikibart, including the potential to
induce a durable, long-term response, and the safety profile are confirmed in upcoming clinical trials, bempikibart has the potential to change the treatment paradigm of alopecia areata.
