Data from the BroADen Phase 1b atopic dermatitis (AD) patient trial expected to be reported in 4Q25

Completed SAD/MAD dosing in KT-621 Phase 1 healthy volunteer trial with data to be reported in June 2025

Two parallel Phase 2b trials in AD and asthma planned to start in 4Q25 and 1Q26, respectively

WATERTOWN, Mass., April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kymera Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:KYMR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing a new class of oral small molecule degrader medicines for immunological diseases, today announced that it recently initiated dosing in its BroADen Phase 1b clinical trial evaluating KT-621, an oral, highly selective, potent degrader of STAT6, in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). The Company expects to report data from the BroADen trial in the fourth quarter of 2025. Additionally, the Company has completed SAD/MAD dosing and follow-up in the KT-621 Phase 1 healthy volunteer trial with data to be reported in June 2025.

The BroADen single-arm, open label Phase 1b trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical activity of orally administered KT-621 in approximately 20 adult patients with moderate to severe AD. Patients will be administered KT-621 once daily for 28 days. The key study objective is to show that robust STAT6 degradation in blood and skin by KT-621 has a dupilumab-like effect on reducing multiple Th2 biomarkers in the blood and on the transcriptome of active AD skin lesions. The study will also assess effects on clinical endpoints such as Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) and pruritus numerical rating scale (NRS).

Two parallel Phase 2b clinical trials in moderate to severe AD and asthma patients are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, respectively. These studies are intended to accelerate KT-621 development and enable dose selection for subsequent parallel Phase 3 registration studies across multiple Th2 dermatology, gastroenterology and respiratory indications.
