The BEAM-302 program, which aims to correct the single base mutation causing AATD, has shown promising early-phase data. In March 2025, the company reported that a 60-milligram dose of BEAM-302 in patients with AATD led to a significant increase in alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) levels, with a dose-responsive effect observed. The 60-milligram dose cohort demonstrated therapeutic effects, with patients transitioning from a baseline where they were only producing the mutant form of the AAT protein (Z protein) to producing a mix of functional and non-functional proteins [1].
The company is now exploring higher doses and dose frequencies to optimize the drug's efficacy and safety profile. Initial tolerability data for a 75-milligram dose has been encouraging, with no grade 2 or higher adverse events observed [1]. The company expects the tolerability profile to remain favorable with a second dose administered 8 weeks after the first, as the lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) from the first dose will have been completely washed out of the body.
Analysts remain optimistic about BEAM's prospects, with some suggesting that the stock may be undervalued. The prevailing narrative is that the company's focus on the BEAM-302 program and its recent progress could drive significant share price appreciation if expectations are realized. A recent fair value estimate for BEAM stock is $45.92, indicating potential for meaningful upside for long-term investors [1].
