Current report

Bempikibart is being evaluated for the treatment of AA in the ongoing Part B of the SIGNAL-AA Phase 2a clinical trial. Enrollment has been completed in the Part B portion of the clinical trial, with 33 patients enrolled and dosing remains ongoing.

Current report

The Part B portion of SIGNAL-AA is an open-label clinical trial dosing severe or very severe AA patients with a maximum duration of current episode of four years. Patients will be treated with bempikibart for 36 weeks, with follow-up out to 52 weeks. Dosing includes an initial loading regimen of 200mg of bempikibart dosed weekly for four doses, followed by a maintenance dose of 200mg every-other-week over a 32-week period for a total dosing period of 36 weeks. Efficacy will be evaluated on the basis of mean percentage change from baseline in Severity of Alopecia Tool (“SALT”) scores as well as the proportion of subjects achieving various relative and absolute SALT improvements at week 36, with follow-up through week 52. The trial is intended to support advancement into pivotal trials upon completion, pending review of the results. Topline data from SIGNAL-AA Part B is expected in mid-2026.

Current report

Upon the execution of the Horizon Termination Agreement, Legacy Q32 became obligated to pay Horizon up to $75.1 million contingent on regulatory and sales-based milestones, consisting of a $5.0 million payment upon the first regulatory approval in the U.S. or in any of five specified major western European markets, and up to $70.1 million ranging from mid-single digit to low-double digit millions of dollars upon the achievement of specified annual sales thresholds, which range from exceeding $250 million to exceeding $1.5 billion. If bempikibart does not achieve the milestones set forth in the Horizon Termination Agreement, the Company will not be obligated to make any payments nor repay any amounts to Horizon.

Current report

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

Current report

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash used in financing activities consisted of principal payments made pursuant to our venture debt.
Removed paragraphs (3)

Previous report

Across all clinical trials, bempikibart has been dosed in 145 patients to-date and has demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile, with no Grade 3 or higher related adverse events. We plan to enroll approximately 20 evaluable severe or very severe AA patients through 36 weeks of treatment in a Part B expansion of the SIGNAL-AA Phase 2a clinical trial and report topline data from SIGNAL-AA Part B in the first half of 2026.

Previous report

Research and development expenses were $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease of $8.3 million was primarily due to a decrease of $6.3 million in bempikibart development costs, including lower clinical and manufacturing spend, and a decrease of $0.6 million in ADX-097 direct research and development expenses as compared to the prior year.
Reworded paragraphs (30)

Previous wording

Bempikibart (ADX-914), our most advanced product candidate, is a fully human anti–interleukin-7 receptor alpha (“IL-7Rα”), antagonist monoclonal antibody designed to re-regulate adaptive immune function by blocking signaling mediated by interleukin-7 (“IL-7”), and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (“TSLP”). We have completed two Phase 2a clinical trials evaluating bempikibart; SIGNAL-AA Part A, for the treatment of alopecia areata (“AA”), and SIGNAL-AD for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (“AD”). In December 2024, we announced topline results from both of these trials, as well as our intention to advance bempikibart for the treatment of AA. In April 2025, we announced dosing of the first patients in both the Part A open-label extension and Part B of the SIGNAL-AA Phase 2a clinical trial. We expect to report topline data from SIGNAL-AA Part B trial in the first half of 2026.

We expect to report topline data from the SIGNAL-AA Part B trial in mid-2026.

Previous wording

In addition, across the two trials, we observed changes in biomarkers consistent with the IL-7Rα mechanism and activity mediated by both the TSLP and IL-7 receptors. In the SIGNAL-AD trial, we observed meaningful decreases in key Th2 biomarkers of TARC, IgE, and eosinophils, each of which were statistically significant at multiple timepoints suggestive of potent TSLP inhibition. In the SIGNAL-AA trial, we observed a CD3+ T cell decrease, which was also statistically significant at multiple timepoints, suggestive of potent IL-7 inhibition. These findings were consistent with expected target engagement and IL-7Rα blockade.

Previous wording

In February 2025, we announced a corporate restructuring to focus on the advancement of bempikibart for the treatment of patients with AA. As part of the restructuring, we discontinued the Phase 2 renal basket clinical trial of ADX-097 and are evaluating strategic options for our tissue-targeted complement inhibitor platform, inclusive of ADX-097 and early-stage assets, to prioritize the clinical development of bempikibart (the “Restructuring Plan”). The Restructuring Plan included a reduction in force, which was substantially completed as of June 30, 2025. As part of this Restructuring Plan, we incurred severance and severance-related charges of approximately $0.9 million.

Previous wording

These potential payments to Horizon are not in exchange for a distinct good or service and therefore, the Company accounts for consideration payable to Horizon as a reduction of the transaction price under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company concluded that the $55.0 million of arrangement consideration previously recognized should be fully constrained as a result of the contingent consideration payable to Horizon, and accordingly, the amounts previously recognized were reversed in the fourth quarter of 2023 and a refund liability was established for the $55.0 million cash received during the term of the Horizon Collaboration Agreement. No amounts have been recognized related to the remaining potential payment to Horizon (up to $20.1 million) as it is not probable that the respective milestones will be achieved at this time.

On November 16, 2023, Legacy Q32 entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Homology and Kenobi Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Homology (“Merger Sub”). The Merger was completed on March 25, 2024. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Q32, with Legacy Q32 continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Homology (the “Merger”). Homology changed its name to Q32 Bio Inc. (“Q32”), and Legacy Q32, which remains as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Q32, changed its name to Q32 Bio Operations Inc. On March 26, 2024, the combined company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol “QTTB.” The business of Legacy Q32 continues as the business of the combined company. The Merger is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue

In connection with the Merger Agreement, certain parties entered into a subscription agreement with us to purchase shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $42.0 million (the “Pre-Closing Financing”).

Previous wording

As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $54.8 million. We expect that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2027. This estimate is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than currently anticipated.

Previous wording

Prior to the termination agreement, Legacy Q32 concluded that the arrangement was within the scope of ASC 606. Specifically, Legacy Q32 concluded that the research services required to be performed as part of the Horizon Collaboration Agreement represented an output of Legacy Q32’s ordinary activities, and this represented a contract with a customer. At the commencement of the collaboration arrangement with Horizon, Legacy Q32 identified two performance obligations related to the development activities of bempikibart, one of each of the specified clinical trials in AD and AA, with each composing the services related to the clinical trial and other related development activity. Legacy Q32 also identified a material right related to the option for Horizon to purchase bempikibart. The material right was considered a separate performance obligation pursuant to the provisions of ASC 606. Legacy Q32 determined the transaction price to be $55.0 million which it allocated to the three performance obligations based on the estimated stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation. Legacy Q32 concluded that the consideration allocated to the research service performance obligations should be recognized over time as Horizon received the benefit of the research activities as the activities were performed. Legacy Q32 determined that this method was most appropriate as progress towards completion of research is largely driven by time and effort spent and costs incurred to perform this research. As of December 31, 2023, Legacy Q32 had received the full $55.0 million, which the combined company retains. The Termination Agreement is accounted for as a modification because it does not result in the addition of distinct goods or services. Since the two performance obligations and the material right are terminated with no further performance obligations aside from the contingent payments to Horizon of up to $75.1 million, Legacy Q32 recognized the remaining deferred revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Upon the execution of the Horizon Termination Agreement, Legacy Q32 became obligated to pay Horizon up to $75.1 million contingent on regulatory and sales-based milestones or up to $20.1 million in excess of the cash received. These potential payments to the customer are not in exchange for a distinct good or service; therefore, we are accounting for consideration payable to a customer as a reduction of the transaction price under ASC 606. Legacy Q32 concluded that the $55.0 million of arrangement consideration previously recognized should be fully constrained as a result of the contingent consideration payable to the customer, and accordingly, all amounts previously recognized as revenue were reversed in the fourth quarter of 2023 and a refund liability was established for the $55.0 million cash received during the term of the collaboration agreement. No amounts have been recognized related to the remaining potential payment to Horizon (up to $20.1 million) as it cannot be deemed probable that the respective milestones will be achieved at this time.

ADX-097 program expenses decreased by $1.2 million due to the discontinuation of the Phase 2 renal basket clinical trial of ADX-097 in the first quarter of 2025.

Previous wording

The decrease in personnel-related and consultant costs was primarily related to lower headcount in the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the prior year associated with the Restructuring Plan in February 2025. Personnel-related and consultant costs for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 included stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. We have not yet commercialized any of our product candidates, which are in various phases of preclinical and clinical development, and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any products for several years, if at all.
