Overview

Q32 Bio is a clinical-stage biotechnology company based in Cambridge, Mass., developing biologic therapeutics to restore healthy immune regulation by targeting regulators of the innate and adaptive immune systems. Its lead programs target the IL-7R pathway (ADX-914) and the complement system (ADX-097). ADX-914 is a fully human anti-IL-7R antibody in a first-in-human trial designed to evaluate safety, tolerability and demonstrate proof-of-mechanism. ADX-097 is a fusion protein from Q32’s tissue-targeted complement regulation platform and was expected to enter Phase 1 in Q4 2021. The company is led by CEO Michael Broxson and intends to use new funds to advance ADX-914 through proof-of-mechanism, further develop its complement platform, and expand its platform and pipeline.
