Forte Biosciences stock soars after early-stage data show FB102 significantly improves facial depigmentation in vitiligo with a favorable safety profile.
Forte Biosciences NASDAQ: FBRX said FB102 showed statistically significant improvement in a small placebo-controlled vitiligo study, with Chief Executive Officer Paul Wagner highlighting continued improvement after patients stopped treatment as a key feature of the results.
Forte Biosciences (FBRX) offers upside as FB102 demonstrates efficacy in both celiac disease and vitiligo, suggesting platform potential beyond a single indication. FB102's mechanism targets CD122, modulating key immune pathways, with placebo-controlled data showing 21.7% F-VASI benefit in vitiligo and histologic protection in celiac disease. FBRX holds a pro forma cash position of ~$220M post-financing, providing 11–12 quarters of runway to advance Phase II/III trials across multiple autoimmune indications.
