Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 to 70 with a confirmed diagnosis of AATD and specific lung function criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients with a body mass index over 30 or those who have undergone lung or liver transplants will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1/2 clinical trial is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of BEAM-302 in adult patients suffering from Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) with associated lung and/or liver disease. The study will involve a multicenter approach, starting with a dose-exploration phase followed by a dose-expansion phase to determine the optimal biological dose. Participants will be closely monitored for their response to the treatment and any adverse effects throughout the trial.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve lung and liver function in patients with AATD.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel, similar studies targeting genetic therapies for AATD have shown promise in preliminary phases.
