Shares of Q32 Bio were touching all-time lows in the after-hours market following results from a pair of Phase 2a clinical trials of the company's alopecia treatment bempikibart.
The company said Tuesday that results from its Signal-AA trial demonstrated encouraging clinical activity of bempikibart in patients with alopecia areata, while the results from its Signal-AD trial in atopic dermatitis demonstrated promising findings in Part A but didn't meet primary endpoint in Part B.
After the bell, the company's shares had fallen 66%, to trade at $8.20. The stock touched an all-time low of $8.24 on Nov. 16, 2023.
Jason Campagna, the chief medical officer of Q32 Bio, said the company was looking forward to advancing bempikibart as a potential treatment for alopecia areata, which causes hair loss.
Chief Executive Jodie Morrison said Q32 plans to conduct a review to better understand the results of the Signal-AD trial.
Bempikibart was observed to be safe and well tolerated across both trials, the company said.
