Q32 Bio sells complement inhibitor ADX-097 to Akebia

Q32 Bio (QTTB) announced that it has sold its Phase 2 complement inhibitor, ADX-097, to Akebia Therapeutics (AKBA). “This transaction strengthens our cash position through additional non-dilutive funding, extending our runway into the second half of 2027, as we remain focused on advancing bempikibart for patients with AA, an indication with significant unmet medical need. We believe bempikibart has tremendous potential to transform the AA treatment paradigm and we look forward to sharing topline data from Part B of the SIGNAL-AA Phase 2a trial, which remains on-track for mid-2026,” said Jodie Morrison, Chief Executive Officer of Q32 Bio. “We are pleased to transition ownership and continued development of ADX-097 to Akebia, a company focused on developing and commercializing therapies for kidney disease.”
