AI Summary
Upstream Bio, Inc. announced that the first patient has been dosed in its global Phase 2 VENTURE trial evaluating verekitug for COPD, marking a significant step as the drug enters a third indication. Verekitug is a novel antibody that targets the TSLP receptor, which plays a key role in triggering inflammation. The trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to assess both the efficacy and safety of two dosing regimens—100 mg every 12 weeks and 400 mg every 24 weeks—in approximately 670 adults with moderate-to-severe COPD.
This trial expands the company’s efforts beyond its ongoing studies in severe asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Emerging data suggest that targeting TSLP may offer a differentiated approach to treating COPD, potentially reducing the frequency of exacerbations and improving patient outcomes.
