Beam Therapeutics presented its base-editing pipeline at the 12th Annual Cantor Fitzgerald Global Healthcare Conference on September 10, 2026, emphasizing its lead program BEAM-302 for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). The company reported that patients treated at a 60-milligram dose achieved over 93% of the minimum protective serum alpha-1 antitrypsin levels, rising from baseline levels of 4 to 6 micromolar to over 20 micromolar during illness. The Phase 1/2 study involved 30 patients across 16 sites in six countries, demonstrating a precise, single-base gene correction without double-stranded DNA breaks—a key advantage over earlier CRISPR technologies, as CEO John Evans noted during the presentation.
