Frequently asked questions about WVE-006

What is WVE-006?

WVE-006 is an investigational small molecule being developed by Wave Life Sciences for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), a rare genetic disease. It is designed to target the AAT protein and is currently in Phase 1 clinical development. It has received an Accelerated Approval designation from the FDA.

What is WVE-006 used for in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency?

WVE-006 is being developed as a treatment for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, a rare inherited condition. Development is focused on participants with the Pi*ZZ genotype, the form of AATD studied in the ongoing Phase 1b/2a trial. It remains investigational and has not been approved for any use.

What does WVE-006 target?

WVE-006 targets AAT, the alpha-1 antitrypsin protein. AAT is a protein target, and the drug is a small molecule. In AATD, the goal of targeting AAT is to address the deficient or abnormal alpha-1 antitrypsin protein that defines the condition.

Who is developing WVE-006?

WVE-006 is being developed by Wave Life Sciences Ltd., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker WVE. The company is running the clinical program for the asset in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.

What phase is WVE-006 in?

WVE-006 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. Two trials are recorded for the program: one completed Phase 1 study and one active Phase 1b/2a study that is no longer recruiting participants.

What clinical trials is WVE-006 in?

WVE-006 has been studied in two trials. NCT06186492, also called RestorAATion-1, was a completed Phase 1 study of 47 healthy participants with wild-type AAT expression in the United Kingdom. NCT06405633 is an active Phase 1b/2a study of 24 participants with Pi*ZZ AATD across Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
