BioAge Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIOA) ("BioAge"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutic product candidates for metabolic diseases by targeting the biology of human aging, today announced positive interim data from the ongoing Phase 1 single ascending dose (SAD) / multiple ascending dose (MAD) clinical trial evaluating BGE-102, a potent, structurally novel, orally available, brain-penetrant small molecule NLRP3 inhibitor being developed for treatment of patients with cardiovascular risk factors.

BGE-102 was well-tolerated in SAD and initial MAD cohorts, with a pharmacokinetic profile supporting once-daily oral dosing

Strong target engagement: BGE-102 achieved 90-98% suppression of IL-1β, a cytokine directly downstream of NLRP3, at Day 14

High brain penetration: BGE-102 doses of 60 mg and higher exceeded target IC90 levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) at Day 14

Company is expanding the Phase 1 trial to include MAD cohorts in participants with obesity and elevated hsCRP, with data anticipated in first half of 2026
