BioAge Labs Expands BGE-102 Program to Diabetic Macular Edema with Oral NLRP3 Inhibitor

BioAge Labs Inc. has announced the planned expansion of its BGE-102 development program into ophthalmology, with a focus on diabetic macular edema (DME). BGE-102, an orally administered NLRP3 inhibitor, has shown favorable tolerability and significant reductions in inflammatory biomarkers such as hsCRP, IL-6, and IL-1β in an ongoing Phase 1 trial. The company will initiate a Phase 1b/2a proof-of-concept clinical trial in DME patients in mid-2026, aiming to demonstrate ocular target engagement. The primary endpoint of the upcoming trial will be the percent change in intraocular IL-6, with results expected in mid-2027. These results have not yet been presented and are anticipated in the future.
