Korro Bio presented new preclinical data on KRRO-110 at the 2024 American Thoracic Society International Conference. The data demonstrated sustained editing efficiency of approximately 60% and increased total alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) protein levels to over 60µM at week 13 in an in vivo genetic Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) mouse model. Notably, KRRO-110 showed 35µM of M-AAT one week post the first dose, rising to 45µM of M-AAT by week 13. This data suggests KRRO-110's potential as a best-in-class therapeutic for AATD. Korro plans to submit a regulatory filing for a first-in-human study in the second half of 2024.
