$KRROPress releaseOct 22, 2026, 7:00 AM ETRead the release

Korro Bio reported preclinical results for KRRO-111, its GalNAc-conjugated RNA-editing therapy for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, showing >95% SERPINA1 mRNA editing in repeat-dose mouse studies. In NSG-PiZ mice, editing reached 96% with total AAT at 172 μM (~6-fold vs. vehicle), and in immunocompetent mice KRRO-111 cut pathogenic hepatic Z-AAT by 95% — addressing both the liver and lung manifestations of AATD. A regulatory submission for KRRO-111 is expected in the first half of 2027, with clinical advancement to follow.
