Homology Medicines, Inc. (Nasdaq: FIXX), a genetic medicines company, announced today that it has completed a review of its business, and the Board of Directors has approved a plan to evaluate strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. Earlier today, Homology reported encouraging initial data from the first dose level in the Phase 1, dose-escalation trial evaluating gene editing candidate HMI-103 in adults with classical phenylketonuria (PKU), which showed it was generally well-tolerated in all three participants and resulted in a meaningful reduction in plasma phenylalanine (Phe) in two participants as of the data cut-off date of July 26, 2023. Despite these encouraging data, based on the current financing environment and Homology’s anticipated clinical development timelines, Homology will not be further developing its programs and will be instituting a related reduction in force while it explores options for the Company and its assets, including HMI-103. Homology has retained TD Cowen as its strategic financial advisor.
