Beam Therapeutics announced initial Phase 1/2 data for BEAM-301 in glycogen storage disease type Ia, achieving clinical proof of concept for base-editing correction of the R83C mutation. Both evaluable 40 mg patients achieved the protocol-defined maximum of ≥15 hours of controlled fasting, consistent with restored endogenous glucose production, and starch intake fell 71-92% in that cohort. Safety was consistent with LNP-based therapies, though three Grade 3 infusion-related reactions occurred; the steroid premedication regimen has since been optimized and no dose-limiting toxicities or deaths were reported.
