HC Wainwright & Co. Reiterates Buy on Beam Therapeutics, Maintains $80 Price Target

On Saturday, Beam Therapeutics Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEAM#NASDAQ">BEAM</a>) revealed new safety and efficacy data from its BEACON Phase 1/2 trial of BEAM-101 in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) with severe <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42378289/beam-therapeutics-announces-new-data-from-beacon-phase-12-clinical-trial-of-beam-101-in-sickle-cel" rel="noreferrer noopener">vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs)</a>.
The data were featured at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition.
Consistent with Beam&#8217;s&nbsp;previously announced&nbsp;data, updated data from seven patients treated with investigational base-editing therapy BEAM-101 demonstrated robust and durable increases in fetal hemoglobin (HbF) and reductions in sickle hemoglobin (HbS), rapid neutrophil and platelet engraftment, and normalized or improved markers of hemolysis.
No VOCs were reported post-engraftment.
Key highlights include the following:
<ul>
<li>Rapid and Sustained Increases in Protective Fetal Hemoglobin (HbF): All patients achieved endogenous HbF levels exceeding 60% and reduction in corresponding sickle hemoglobin (HbS) below 40% that was durable. A pancellular distribution of HbF was observed after the elimination of transfused blood.</li>
<li>Robust and Sustained Total Hemoglobin (Hb) Levels: Total hemoglobin levels increased rapidly with a resolution of anemia in patients after the elimination of the transfused blood.</li>
<li>Normalization of Hemolysis Markers: Key markers of hemolysis, including indirect bilirubin, haptoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase and reticulocytes, normalized or improved in all patients following BEAM-101 treatment.</li>
<li>Safety Profile Consistent with Busulfan and Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.</li>
</ul>
In November, the company said that one patient died due to respiratory failure likely related to busulfan conditioning four months after BEAM-101 infusion. However, the investigator determined that the death was <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41756981/gene-therapy-developer-beam-therapeutics-reports-one-patient-death-in-early-stage-sickle-cell-dis" rel="noreferrer noopener">unrelated to BEAM-101</a>.
On Sunday, Beam Therapeutics announced new data for its Engineered Stem Cell Antibody Evasion (ESCAPE) conditioning platform, which was presented at the American Society of Hematology Annual <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42380675/beam-therapeutics-presents-new-non-human-primate-nhp-data-demonstrating-proof-of-concept-for-escap" rel="noreferrer noopener">Meeting and Exposition</a>.
ESCAPE comprises two investigational drug products, BEAM-103 and BEAM-104. The company intends to advance BEAM-103 and BEAM-104 for development in sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia.
In the preclinical study, administration of the BEAM-104 edited cells to antibody-conditioned animals led to long-term engraftment.
Dosing with the BEAM-103 mAb led to rapid and near complete replacement of wild-type erythroid cells by edited cells, leading to early induction of therapeutically relevant levels of HbF.
BEAM-103 dosing was well tolerated, with no need for transfusions, antibiotics, or additional supportive care.
William Blair writes, &#8220;While the patient death is unfortunate, we see the event as highlighting the need for less-toxic preconditioning options, and we think Beam is leading the space in this regard.&#8221;
Price Action: At last check on Monday, BEAM stock was up 0.52% at $26.89.

Management

Beam Therapeutics Has Appointed Sravan Emany As Chief Financial Officer, Effective December 19

Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, is doubling down on biologics, seeing unprecedented potential at the intersection of artificial intelligence, genetic sequencing, and gene editing technologies.
What Happened: Wood&#8217;s enthusiasm centers on what she describes as a transformative convergence of technologies that could revolutionize medical treatment and drug discovery. 
Speaking candidly about the sector, Wood highlighted the remarkable progress in genetic therapies, particularly in companies like Crispr Therapeutics AG (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRSP#NASDAQ">CRSP</a>), Intellia Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTLA#NASDAQ">NTLA</a>), and Beam Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEAM#NASDAQ">BEAM</a>).
Her most striking example involves Crispr Therapeutics&#8217; recent breakthrough in sickle cell disease treatment. Wood noted, referencing how patients who previously required 12 to 20 annual blood transfusions might now be free from such interventions.
The strategy extends beyond treatment breakthroughs to drug development itself. Wood points to companies like Recursion Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RXRX#NASDAQ">RXRX</a>) as leveraging artificial intelligence to dramatically reduce clinical trial failure rates and accelerate drug development timelines.
However, the market performance of these innovative companies tells a more nuanced story. Year-to-date, the stocks have experienced significant volatility: Crispr Therapeutics is down 25.36%, Intellia Therapeutics has dropped 52.21%, Beam Therapeutics declined 3.04%, and Recursion Pharmaceuticals fell 9.80%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Why It Matters: ARK&#8217;s commitment to this sector is evident through its Genomic Revolution ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKG#BATS">ARKG</a>), which manages net assets of $1.179 billion. The fund&#8217;s performance reflects the sector&#8217;s volatility, with annual returns ranging from a high of 180.50% in 2020 to a low of -53.94% in 2022.
The ETF&#8217;s current top holdings underscore Wood&#8217;s strategic focus on innovative biological technologies. Twist Bioscience Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TWST#NASDAQ">TWST</a>) leads the portfolio at 8.90%, followed by Crispr Therapeutics at 7.88% and Recursion Pharmaceuticals at 6.17%.

Cathie Wood Sees $400B Opportunity In Biologics — How Have Her Bets Fared?

BofA Securities downgraded Editas Medicine Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EDIT#NASDAQ">EDIT</a>), citing few value-driving catalysts <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EDIT/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">in the near term</a>.
In its third-quarter earnings release, Editas Medicine said it engaged an investment bank to lead the process of partnering or out-licensing reni-cel (renizgamglogene autogedtemcel, previously EDIT-301).
The company is developing reni-cel for sickle cell disease and transfusion-<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g41710488/editas-medicine-announces-third-quarter-2024-results-and-business-updates" rel="noreferrer noopener">dependent Beta Thalassemia</a>.
The company is on track to share additional clinical and patient-reported outcomes data from 28 patients in the RUBY trial for sickle cell disease at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in December.
The company has completed enrollment of the adult cohort of the EdiTHAL trial for thalassemia and continues patient dosing.
The analyst notes that Editas announced a shift in focus toward in vivo development, specifically working on lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations for treating sickle cell disease (SCD) and thalassemia.
While preclinical data shows some progress—29% editing in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and around 20% of red blood cells expressing fetal hemoglobin (HbF)—more evidence is needed to prove functional benefits and advance to clinical trials.
Meanwhile, competitors like Beam Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEAM#NASDAQ">BEAM</a>) and CRISPR Therapeutics AG (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRSP#NASDAQ">CRSP</a>) are investing heavily in their in vivo programs for SCD and thalassemia, with better-prepared manufacturing and development for clinical trials.
Given the deprioritization of reni-cel and the increasingly competitive environment for ex vivo therapies, BofA has reduced estimates and probabilities of success in SCD and beta-thal to 10% (from 60% prior).
The analyst downgraded from Buy to Underperform, with a price target of $1, down from $13.
This intensifying competition, limited short-term clinical milestones, and declining interest in gene editing pose challenges for Editas and could pressure its stock in the near term.
Price Action: EDIT stock is down 0.41% at $2.43 at last check Monday.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEAM#NASDAQ">BEAM</a>) announced that 35 patients have cleared screening and enrolled in the BEACON Phase 1/2 trial of BEAM-101, an investigational genetically modified cell therapy for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g41745039/beam-therapeutics-to-present-data-across-hematology-franchise-including-first-clinical-data-for-be" rel="noreferrer noopener">sickle cell disease (SCD)</a>.
Eight of these patients have been dosed with BEAM-101, while the other enrolled patients are going through pre-transplant stages, including cell collection and drug product manufacturing.

In a company <a target="_blank" href="https://investors.beamtx.com/static-files/4e9eea51-c299-4b58-965a-87a5a8c3b62f" rel="noreferrer noopener">presentation</a>, preliminary safety data (N=6) showed an initial safety profile consistent with myeloablative conditioning with busulfan and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).
The company said that one patient died due to respiratory failure likely related to busulfan conditioning 4 months after BEAM-101 infusion. However, the investigator determined that the death was unrelated to BEAM-101.
The Data Safety Monitoring Committee and FDA reviewed the case.
In all patients dosed, there were no ≥ Grade 3 adverse events (AEs) or serious AEs related to BEAM-101.
Preliminary efficacy data showed that all patients achieved over 60% fetal hemoglobin (HbF, the main oxygen carrier protein in the human fetus) and less than 40% HbS (an abnormal type of hemoglobin that causes sickle cell disease) of non-transfused hemoglobin at Month 1, sustained through all time points.
Markers of hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells) normalized or improved for all patients.
No vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs, painful complication of sickle cell anemia) were reported by investigators following BEAM-101 treatment.
Beam Therapeutics said patient enrollment in the Phase 1/2 trial of BEAM-302 in patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is progressing. Site activation globally has continued, and dosing has been completed for the first cohort.
Beam has nominated a development candidate for its ESCAPE technology comprised of two investigational drug products: BEAM-103, an anti-CD117 monoclonal antibody (mAb), and BEAM-104, a cell therapy that includes the same therapeutic edit as BEAM-101 (editing the HBG1/2 genes to elevate fetal hemoglobin), plus an additional edit to CD117 which is designed to prevent binding of BEAM-103, allowing the edited cells to evade suppression by the antibody.
The company intends to advance BEAM-103 and BEAM-104 for development in SCD and beta-thalassemia.
Beam Therapeutics ended the third quarter of 2024 with $925.8 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, providing a cash <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g41739986/beam-therapeutics-reports-third-quarter-2024-financial-results-and-progress-across-priority-progra" rel="noreferrer noopener">runway into 2027</a>.
Price Action: BEAM stock is down 2.40% at $23.78&nbsp;at the last check on Tuesday.
