On Tuesday, BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. BBIO launched topline outcomes from the Section 1/2 open-label ADventure research of BBP-631, an investigational adeno-associated virus (AAV) 5 gene remedy, for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).

Thus far, key outcomes from the research embrace:
- Elevated endogenous cortisol manufacturing was achieved in all sufferers at greater doses.
- On the two highest dose ranges, a most change from the baseline post-ACTH stimulation take a look at of 4.7 μg/dL and 6.6 μg/dL was noticed, respectively, with cortisol ranges as excessive as 11 μg/dL achieved.
- Substantial and sturdy will increase in 11-deoxycortisol, the product of 21-hydroxylase, and reductions in 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP), the substrate of 21-hydroxylase, present compelling proof of sturdy BBP-631 transgene exercise. On the highest dose ranges, sustained 11-deoxycortisol averaged a 55-fold improve from baseline, with a most of 99-fold improve. These characterize a mean most of 23-fold the higher restrict of regular.
- Sturdy discount in 17-hydroxyprogesterone, with most sufferers reaching a discount of ≥50%, with a max discount of 95%.
