Lung & Respiratory Breakthroughs: STAT6 Degraders, IPF Cough Relief, and FDA-Cleared Respiratory Tech 🫁🚀
This week on Lung & Respiratory Health Updates, we unpack nine major innovations pushing the boundaries of pulmonary medicine—from gene-editing therapies for AATD to FDA-cleared respiratory apps and promising IPF treatments. Whether you’re in clinical development or healthcare strategy, these updates are essential watching.
🧬 BEAM-302 Earns Orphan Drug Designation for AATD
Beam’s CRISPR-based therapy for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency secures FDA Orphan Drug and RMAT designations, supported by strong early-stage trial data.
💨 Sanofi’s Itepekimab Shows Mixed COPD Results
While AERIFY-1 delivered a 27 percent drop in exacerbations, AERIFY-2 did not meet its endpoint. Next steps await regulatory review.
🔬 Kymera’s KT-621 STAT6 Degrader Shows Over 90 Percent Target Knockdown
Early data reveal exceptional target engagement and biomarker reductions rivaling dupilumab, with broader studies in atopic dermatitis and asthma on the horizon.
🌫️ Trevi’s Haduvio Achieves 43.3 Percent Cough Reduction in IPF
In a breakthrough for chronic cough, Haduvio delivered statistically significant improvements across all dosing arms. Phase 3 is slated for 2026.
👃 LYR-210 Hits Both Primary and Key Secondary Endpoints in CRS
This implant-based therapy offers six months of localized treatment and has demonstrated significant symptom relief in the ENLIGHTEN 2 trial.
🌍 Daewoong’s Bersiporocin Highlights IPF Promise at ATS 2025
Interim data from 79 globally enrolled patients shows this PRS inhibitor may halt fibrosis progression. 70 percent were on standard therapy combinations.
🤝 Sanofi Licenses Nurix’s Oral STAT6 Degrader NX-3911
Sanofi expands its allergy portfolio with this gene-knockout-like oral therapy. The deal includes $15 million upfront and up to $465 million in milestones.
📱 Mindset’s Respiratory App Gains FDA Clearance
A contactless, camera-based app now enables real-time respiratory rate monitoring—no hardware needed. It enhances telehealth after its 2024 pulse rate approval.
🧫 Sionna Advances CFTR Stabilizers After Positive Phase 1 Results
SION-719 and SION-451 achieved key PK targets and moved forward safely. Phase 2a and combination trials are planned for 2025.
