Leerink Partners Upgrades Beam Therapeutics to Outperform, Raises Price Target to $39

On Tuesday, Beam Therapeutics Inc. (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>.

A Closer Look at 5 Analyst Recommendations For Beam Therapeutics

HC Wainwright &amp; Co. analyst Patrick Trucchio reiterates Beam Therapeutics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEAM#NASDAQ">BEAM</a>) with a Buy and maintains $80 price target.

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

William Blair initiated coverage on Korro Bio Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRRO#NASDAQ">KRRO</a>), a private RNA editing company that went public via a reverse merger with&nbsp;Frequency Therapeutics Inc. in an all-stock&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/23/07/33229914/why-are-frequency-therapeutics-shares-surging-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">merger transaction</a>.&nbsp;
The company&#8217;s proprietary Oligonucleotide Promoted Editing of RNA (OPERA) platform harnesses the body&#8217;s natural base editing system – specifically ADAR (Adenosine&nbsp;Deaminase&nbsp;Acting on&nbsp;RNA) – to make targeted edits to a single RNA base.
William Blair notes that ADAR editing permits chronic dosing and titratability of a genetic editing medicine without the risk of permanent off-target effects or potential issues with over- or underexpression of target genes.

William Blair emphasizes that Wave Life Sciences Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WVE#NASDAQ">WVE</a>) is set to release the first clinical data for an ADAR-recruiting therapy in 2024. The analyst initiates <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KRRO/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with an Outperform rating</a>.
The data from the Phase 1b/2a RestorAATion-2 trial of WVE-006 for severe Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD) will be crucial in determining whether the ADAR-mediated RNA editing mechanism is consistent across species—a key concern for investors due to differences in genetic homology.
Korro&#8217;s lead asset, KRRO-110, is a lipid nanoparticle (LNP)- encapsulated oligonucleotide designed to correct the E342K PiZ mutation in SERPINA1, which can lead to severe forms of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD).
The asset is expected to enter a Phase 1/2 trial in adult A1ATD patients in the second half of 2024, with interim proof-of-concept clinical data in 2025 and trial completion in 2026.
&#8220;We believe Korro&#8217;s preclinical data package, particularly in the NSG PiZ mouse model, is best-in-class for the ADAR field,&#8221; William Blair analyst writes.
&#8220;We also believe that Wave&#8217;s WVE-006 (GalNAc-conjugated ADAR-recruiting ASO) and Beam Therapeutics Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEAM#NASDAQ">BEAM</a>) BEAM-302 (base editing approach) clinical programs validate Korro&#8217;s approach but still leave clear room for differentiation on efficacy or specificity/safety,&#8221; the analyst adds.
Price Action: KRRO stock is up 8.64% at $39.50 at the last check on Wednesday.
