Q32 Bio Inc. announced on April 30, 2025, that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation (FTD) to bempikibart (ADX-914) for the treatment of alopecia areata (AA). This designation recognizes the seriousness of AA and the significant unmet medical need, underscoring bempikibart's potential as a novel, differentiated therapy for patients needing new options.
Fast Track designation is designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of new drugs that treat serious diseases and fill an unmet medical need. Drugs with FTD may be eligible for more frequent meetings and communications with the FDA, a rolling review of marketing applications, and potentially Accelerated Approval and Priority Review if relevant criteria are met.
This FTD follows encouraging clinical activity observed in Part A of the SIGNAL-AA clinical trial and the recent initiation of dosing in the Part A open-label extension and Part B portions of the SIGNAL-AA trial. Q32 Bio anticipates continued collaboration with the FDA to advance this potential treatment, aiming to bring it to patients more quickly.
