Advancement of next-generation APJ agonists with discontinuation of azelaprag
Nomination of NLRP3 inhibitor BGE-102 as a development candidate, with initial Ph1 clinical data anticipated by end of 2025
Expansion of discovery efforts based on insights from BioAge's platform, including a target identification collaboration with Novartis and a newly announced antibody therapeutics development collaboration with Lilly ExploR&amp;D
RICHMOND, Calif., Jan. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioAge Labs, Inc. ("BioAge", "the Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutic product candidates for metabolic diseases by targeting the biology of human aging, today announced company updates for its programs and platform.
•&nbsp;Advancement of next-generation APJ agonists with discontinuation of azelaprag
BioAge has terminated development of azelaprag, an orally available small molecule agonist of APJ, for obesity and other chronic diseases. The decision follows observations of liver transaminitis without clinically significant symptoms, and without clear dose dependence, in some patients in the azelaprag arms of the STRIDES Phase 2 clinical trial for obesity (<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=6hETRD3ff7cnLvUiSBWq9wR9Z0Aio0CfBsoQJZkBTm9q4SVQpvwYGxjlYUFmqtNVuPYnsAq8uhr0ozDzZYVhdNlLJyBq1uaABDo2j53a27SmE0Mq1o23dSzW2xszSX_PWAy6LM8SZJaPH4sjwcR4yfQXvV-e1CqUfcbDObJq5cKvTA8giOyPc-_GdkmLrA0JO1l-GoH5n9ogoSVdjT99psnT52gQ5jN2OAs9jfZ4KCzZI1q2mNewKQPuDFM5lMNB4fDcM67qgaZQRA-DcLYlMHY7uFKk9UCLfOvJXm2b59L584kBX973rwDtSAaGfv1aHqhU5B4z5Yz_Ia22VSDnq2LoQUxg0uRkNBZ0usv_7AKSZHyHWrdXJzxQsXtx0hknJ6dpVcCscZ8Zff4NtS9g5_kECKb2fUnt_N-jcv4emFBoCIgf-2MVE864c78CFdUW8v6JbwStqPEp-eYmjNpiUg==">link</a>).
BioAge is developing structurally distinct APJ agonists in its pipeline, with the goal of nominating a development candidate by the end of 2025.
•&nbsp;Nomination of NLRP3 inhibitor BGE-102 as a development candidate, with initial Ph1 clinical data anticipated by end of 2025
BioAge is developing its novel, proprietary class of NLRP3 inhibitors, which have distinctive structural and biological properties and include molecules that penetrate the blood–brain barrier, for diseases associated with neuroinflammation. The Company has nominated a member of this class, the orally available, small-molecule brain-penetrant NLRP3 inhibitor BGE-102, as a development candidate. The structurally novel drug has potential best-in-class features, including high potency and high brain penetration, an important attribute for a compound that could be used for treatment of neuroinflammation linked to conditions such as obesity. IND-enabling experiments for BGE-102 are currently underway, and Phase 1 SAD data are anticipated by the end of 2025.
•&nbsp;Expansion of discovery efforts based on novel insights from BioAge's platform, including collaborations with Novartis and Lilly
BioAge continues to leverage its discovery platform, which analyzes longitudinal human aging data to reveal the key molecular drivers of healthy aging to discover novel targets and molecules, via internal development programs and ongoing strategic collaborations.
In December, BioAge announced a multi-year research collaboration with Novartis to identify and validate novel therapeutic targets at the intersection of aging biology and exercise, combining BioAge's longitudinal human aging datasets with Novartis expertise in exercise biology. Under the terms of the agreement, BioAge will receive up to $20 million in upfront payments and research funding, plus up to $530 million in future long-term research, development, and commercial milestones (<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=6hETRD3ff7cnLvUiSBWq99sjD8Q_cuKxs60y_HtGgJEd-0udOrvZZGvSNag8xlKBktO7EhsRwY6bKvwcNHTt9Si6pdTssMjVhcxFa-UEcaul_xYdBVbow8tMSU0xXZ9HckUmIfAcalXXs8yF7_ckCXAFsX0b5ISqdGdfBfGYpCtwGeENP6Sx7Gu10_GD9hJcC3CLDI4MH3P2fBfvmGEkgq_8ymgCNFDl2Bd1J-uRE1PmCIf4nSVNexXzY4ZAT0lbiycqL0PjGXCk3XDcXu9Ic_1SBcTUXrVD6Diq5ND7tWfSF14DoFPOTJmuEs0o2KlyA1TYboG4ZNmJxKQ8X8-xCQ==">link</a>).
BioAge has also entered a strategic collaboration with Lilly ExploR&amp;D (part of Lilly Catalyze360) to discover two therapeutic antibodies that address novel metabolic aging targets identified by BioAge's discovery platform.
•&nbsp;Financial update
As of September 30, 2024, BioAge had approximately $334.5 million in cash and cash equivalents. This amount is not inclusive of the additional $27.6 million net fees from the exercise of the IPO's greenshoe option on October 1, 2024. Existing cash and cash equivalents extend cash runway beyond 2029.

BioAge Labs, Riot Platforms And Other Big Stocks Moving Lower In Monday's Pre-Market Session

BioAdge Labs shares are trading lower after Jefferies downgraded the stock from Buy to Hold and Citigroup downgraded the stock from Buy to Neutral. Additionally, both firms cut their price target on the stock to $7.

On Friday, BioAge Labs&nbsp;Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIOA#NASDAQ">BIOA</a>) announced that it will discontinue the ongoing STRIDES Phase 2 study of its investigational <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42374184/bioage-labs-announces-discontinuation-of-strides-phase-2-clinical-trial-evaluating-azelaprag-in-co" rel="noreferrer noopener">drug candidate, azelaprag</a>.
STRIDES was being conducted in collaboration with Eli Lilly And Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) Chorus clinical development organization. Top-line results were anticipated in the third quarter of 2025.
The move follows after liver transaminitis without clinically significant symptoms was observed in some subjects receiving azelaprag.
STRIDES is a Phase 2 clinical trial of azelaprag as monotherapy and in combination with tirzepatide that planned to enroll approximately 220 individuals with obesity aged 55 years and older.
Tirzepatide is an active ingredient of Eli Lilly&#8217;s popular Zepbound and Mounjaro.
The trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy as measured by body weight reduction and other outcomes, safety, and tolerability of two oral doses of azelaprag (300 mg, once or twice daily) in combination with tirzepatide (5 mg subcutaneous injection once weekly).
An azelaprag monotherapy arm was included to provide additional safety information.
The company said no transaminase elevations were observed in the tirzepatide only treatment group.
Of 204 subjects enrolled in STRIDES, 11 subjects in the azelaprag treatment groups were observed to have transaminase (liver enzymes) elevations with no clinically significant symptoms. Dosing of all subjects will be discontinued, and no additional subjects will be enrolled.
Clinical follow-up of enrolled subjects will continue off-drug. The company intends to further analyze available STRIDES clinical data from all enrolled subjects and share updated plans for azelaprag in the first quarter of 2025.
The company&#8217;s brain-penetrant NLRP3 inhibitors are progressing toward IND submission, anticipated in the second half of 2025. The NLRP3 inhibitor program targets neuroinflammation linked to metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases.
As of September 30, BioAge had approximately $334.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, which is expected to be sufficient to fund operations and capital <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g41825231/bioage-labs-reports-third-quarter-2024-financial-results-and-provides-business-updates" rel="noreferrer noopener">expenses into 2029</a>.
In October, BioAge Labs closed its upsized initial public offering of 12.65 million shares at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/g41129276/bioage-labs-announces-closing-of-initial-public-offering-full-exercise-of-underwriters-option-to-p" rel="noreferrer noopener">$18 per share</a>.
Price Action: BIOA stock is down 70% at $6.03 during the premarket session at last check Monday.
