Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Advances in ADAR RNA editing and clinical translation
ADAR RNA editing is progressing from theoretical and preclinical stages to clinical proof, with human data now demonstrating effective mutation correction and protein restoration in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD).
Clinical data show that editing can shift patients from a high-risk ZZ phenotype to a lower-risk MZ phenotype, with durable increases in functional protein and reduction in disease-driving variants.
Editing approaches using GalNAc conjugation enable stable, durable, and efficient delivery, with ongoing studies exploring higher doses and less frequent dosing intervals.
Regulatory approval thresholds are being defined by phenotypic outcomes and biomarker levels, with acute phase response data supporting clinical benefit.
The field is rapidly learning from clinical translation, using human data to refine preclinical models and accelerate new target development.
Platform innovation and pipeline expansion
Companies are leveraging foundational research to optimize oligonucleotide chemistry and engage multiple ADAR isoforms, supporting robust and durable editing.
Preclinical data show high levels of target protein restoration and long half-lives, supporting less frequent dosing and broadening the range of treatable liver diseases.
New targets beyond AATD, such as PNPLA3 for liver disease and NTCP for cholestatic disease, are entering clinical and preclinical pipelines, with strategies tailored to genetic and mechanistic insights.
CNS applications are advancing, with strong endogenous ADAR expression and efficient oligonucleotide distribution demonstrated in preclinical models.
Companies are focusing on precision edits, such as modulating protein-protein interactions, and identifying white space in the liver for future indications.
Industry perspectives and future outlook
The field is converging on the use of GalNAc for liver delivery, with consensus that editing offers unique advantages over knockdown approaches.
Key to broader adoption is understanding enzyme pharmacology and translation from animal models to humans, with confidence growing in ADAR's therapeutic reliability.
Investment and regulatory focus is shifting from enzyme function to target selection and clinical proof of concept, with expectations for rapid progress based on validated chemical toolboxes.
The technology is expected to evolve quickly, with first-generation drugs paving the way for more optimized future candidates.
The panel anticipates that RNA editing will reach broad applicability faster than previous modalities, driven by clinical learnings and platform advances.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
