BioAge Labs' Lead Drug BGE-102 Enters Phase 2 for Cardiovascular Risk; Topline Data Expected H2 2026
Summary
BioAge Labs has dosed the first participant in its Phase 2 QUELL-CV trial for BGE-102, an NLRP3 inhibitor targeting cardiovascular risk. This follows highly positive Phase 1 data for BGE-102 reported in March and May, which demonstrated significant reductions in inflammatory biomarkers. Advancing the lead candidate into Phase 2 is a critical de-risking step for the company, moving it closer to potential commercialization in a large market. Topline data from the QUELL-CV trial is anticipated in the second half of 2026.
