Wave Life Sciences reported positive Phase 1b/2a data for WVE-006 in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), showing robust reduction of toxic Z-AAT by 71% and restoration of wild-type M-AAT to 64% of total AAT in the biweekly dosing cohort. The monthly dosing cohort (400 mg) showed similar efficacy with 68% Z-AAT reduction and 59% M-AAT restoration, supporting a convenient subcutaneous dosing regimen. Editing effects were sustained for at least three months after the last dose. The data demonstrates restored dynamic AAT production during acute phase responses, a key unmet need in AATD.
