A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of BEAM-302 in Adult Patients With Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD)

September 30, 2026 updated by: Beam Therapeutics Inc.

A Phase 1/2 Dose-exploration and Dose-expansion Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of BEAM-302 in Adult Patients With Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD)-Associated Lung Disease and/or Liver Disease

This is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label study conducted in 3 parts (Part A, Part B, and Part C) to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK/PD, and efficacy of BEAM-302 in adult patients with AATD-associated lung disease and/or liver disease. Parts A and B are designed to evaluate safety and tolerability and identify the optimal biological dose (OBD) in patients with AATD-associated lung disease (Part A) and/or liver disease (Part B), with optional expansion cohorts to further evaluate a potential OBD. Part C is designed to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of BEAM-302 at the OBD in patients with AATD-associated lung disease with or without liver disease in the pivotal cohort.
