Belenos Biosciences Inc., a private, clinical-stage biotechnology company today announced that its China partner Keymed Biosciences has reported topline results from a Phase 1b study (n=46) of BEL512 (CM512), exploring preliminary efficacy in patients with moderate-to-severe AD. Three treatments given over one month led to rapid, deep, and sustained improvements across all clinical endpoints, decreases in key inflammatory biomarkers, a favorable safety profile and pharmacokinetics supportive of long-interval dosing.

‘512 is a novel TSLP/IL-13 bispecific engineered with half-life extension. The Phase 1b testing two doses (300 mg and 600 mg) of BEL512 vs placebo highlighted significant and durable responses:

  • EASI 75 300 mg group at week 6 of 50% vs 7% in placebo groups
  • EASI 75 300 mg group at week 12 of 58% vs 21.4% in placebo groups
  • EASI 90 300 mg group at week 12 of 41.7% vs 0% in placebo groups

These improvements were sustained through to week 24, 20 weeks after the last dose of ‘512. Both serum TSLP and IL-13 rapidly decreased after initial dose, reaching levels below the lower limit of quantification. TARC, eotaxin-3, CCL13, and IgE decreased after the first dose, and reductions were sustained through the 24 week study.

The Phase 1b study was conducted in China, and sponsored by Keymed Biosciences Ltd., (NCT06553209). It is the first study of a bispecific agent to report results in this patient population.

Belenos’ second asset, BEL536, is a first-in-class long-acting bispecific antibody developed by Keymed Biosciences and is being advanced into clinical studies by Belenos. By targeting OX40L and IL-13 it is designed to both treat symptoms and signs of disease rapidly through blockade of IL-13 and OX40L, but also with the intent of getting patients into durable disease remission.

“These first patient data underscore the potential ‘512 has to deliver rapid, deep, durable disease control,” said Donnie McGrath, MD, CEO of Belenos Biosciences Inc. “The arrival of the first patient data for ‘512, and the imminent start of our Phase 1 study for BEL536 represent significant milestones for the company. Looking ahead to the completion of our ‘512 asthma study in the U.S. and the multiple ‘512 phase 2 studies our partners at Keymed are conducting in China means that in 2026 the ‘512 program will have several clinical read-outs to support moving toward pivotal programs in 2027,” Dr. McGrath continued.

Precision BioSciences Presents Late-Breaking Phase 1 PBGENE-HBV Data at AASLD The Liver Meeting® Showing Safety, Tolerability and Cumulative, Dose-Dependent Antiviral Activity in First Three Cohorts

PBGENE-HBV, the first gene editing therapy designed to treat chronic Hepatitis B by directly targeting HBV cccDNA and integrated HBV DNA, showcased as the final oral presentation in the late-breaking AASLD session at 5:45pm EST on Monday, November 10, 2025

PBGENE-HBV was well-tolerated across pre-planned repeat administrations at doses of 0.2mg/kg, 0.4 mg/kg, and 0.8mg/kg with no dose-limiting toxicities

Data to date from the Phase 1 ELIMINATE-B study demonstrates dose-dependent antiviral response, with activity observed in all nine patients across 22 doses in first three study cohorts

All three patients in highest dose cohort (0.8 mg/kg) showed steep declines of HBsAg at day 14 with evidence of cumulative declines in HBsAg after second administration of PBGENE-HBV in sentinel subject

Data suggests a potential path towards nucleos(t)ide withdrawal and testing for cure if confirmed with additional dose administrations and longer follow up

Paired biopsy data to date provides first evidence of viral DNA gene editing and directly correlates with observed HBsAg reductions

Company to host conference call tomorrow, November 11th at 8:00AM ET

DURHAM, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Precision BioSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: DTIL), a clinical stage gene editing company utilizing its novel proprietary ARCUS® platform to develop in vivo gene editing therapies for high unmet need diseases, today announced a late-breaking oral presentation at the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) The Liver Meeting® 2025. The presentation includes data from the ongoing ELIMINATE-B Phase 1 study evaluating PBGENE-HBV, a first-in-class in vivo gene editing therapy designed to eliminate cccDNA, the root cause of chronic Hepatitis B, and inactivate integrated HBV DNA.


The presentation, to be delivered by Dr. Man-Fung Yuen, Chair Professor of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at The University of Hong Kong, features new data from nine patients across 22 doses in the first three cohorts of the ELIMINATE-B trial. A copy of the presentation will be available on the Company’s website.

“These new late-breaking data represent a milestone for Precision BioSciences and for the entire field of chronic Hepatitis B because it is the first time clinicians have been able to target the root viral source of the disease,” said Michael Amoroso, Chief Executive Officer of Precision BioSciences. “The safety data and tolerability profile, along with dose-dependent durable reductions in hepatitis B surface antigen and the first liver biopsy data, provide evidence that antiviral activity is being achieved through directly editing the viral genome in patients with chronic Hepatitis B. This further validates ARCUS as a differentiated platform with true curative potential. With no observed dose-limiting toxicities to date, we look forward to finishing dosing the third cohort to generate additional data for PBGENE-HBV in our pursuit of a cure that has been so elusive in the field of Hepatitis B drug development.”

AASLD Presentation Shows Evidence of Antiviral Activity and Favorable Safety Profile

As of the October 31, 2025 data cutoff date, nine evaluable patients have been dosed across three ascending cohorts (0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 mg/kg), with a total of 22 administered doses. Key clinical findings from the late-breaking presentation include:

  • Consistent antiviral activity across all treated patients regardless of baseline HBsAg

    Every participant receiving PBGENE-HBV exhibited measurable reductions in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) following treatment, confirming on-target antiviral effects across all dose levels. Importantly, consistent levels of antiviral activity were observed in patients regardless of baseline HBsAg levels ranging from 370 to 11,813 IU/mL, with no upper limit in the study. The magnitude and persistence of these declines increased with higher doses, providing evidence of cumulative antiviral activity from pre-planned repeat administrations without cumulative toxicities.
  • Durable HBsAg reductions sustained over time
    In Cohort 1 (0.2 mg/kg), there was evidence of antiviral activity in all three patients with one patient showing a durable ~50% reduction in HBsAg 9 months after the initial dose of PBGENE-HBV and holding. In Cohort 2 (0.4 mg/kg), all three patients achieved durable HBsAg declines that were maintained for 8 weeks after the first administration and continue to show durable suppression following the third dose administration with HBsAg reductions up to 66%.
  • Demonstrated dose-dependent antiviral activity
    Cohort 3 (0.8 mg/kg) demonstrated further dose-responsive antiviral effects, with all three patients showing early (2 weeks) HBsAg reductions following the first dose, with additional administrations still planned to decrease HBsAg. One patient has received two administrations with a deepening response following the second dose, as evidenced by a 64% decrease in HBsAg without increases in HBsAg levels between dose administrations as was observed in lower dose cohorts. With all participants in Cohort 3 achieving substantially reduced HBsAg levels, as low as 188 IU/mL there is an emerging path to potentially stopping nucleos(t)ide analogs and testing for cure following additional planned administrations of PBGENE-HBV at this dose level.
  • Biopsy evidence of direct HBV DNA editing
    Unlike existing therapies, PBGENE-HBV is designed to target the source of viral infection by directly eliminating cccDNA and inactivating integrated HBV DNA. This approach has the potential to permanently halt viral transcription and silence antigen production, with the goal of achieving complete cccDNA eradication and cure.

    A paired liver biopsy from Patient 5 (part of Cohort 2) confirmed the presence of ARCUS-mediated gene editing events within viral DNA, marking the first direct molecular evidence of HBV viral gene editing in humans. Following two administrations at 0.4 mg/kg, this patient’s biopsy showed promising evidence of viral DNA editing by inactivation with insertion/deletion (indel) edits in viral DNA, further supporting the observed clinical antiviral effects and the PBGENE-HBV mechanism of cccDNA elimination and integrated HBV DNA inactivation. Continuing reductions of HBsAg were observed after the biopsy was taken due to the third dose of PBGENE-HBV, suggesting cumulative gene editing of the viral genome.

  • Favorable safety and tolerability profile
    PBGENE-HBV was well tolerated across all cohorts, with no observed dose-limiting toxicities. Adverse events were transient and generally resolved within 12 hours. Transient infusion-related reactions resolved without intervention and were deemed not dose-limiting by the independent data safety monitoring committee. Platelet fluctuations were transient and asymptomatic.
  • Stable liver enzyme laboratory values across repeat administrations
    Transient elevations in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) which resolved within days of the infusion were observed shortly after dose administrations of PBGENE-HBV across all dose levels. Transaminase elevations were transient with no associated changes in bilirubin and no evidence of liver dysfunction. There was one case of reversible Grade 3 AST elevation without any associated bilirubin elevation that resolved within 3 days. The data were reviewed by the independent data monitoring committee and an independent liver safety committee, an expert group of global hepatologists, and deemed not dose-limiting. Collectively, these findings support the potential tolerability and hepatic safety for repeat administrations to drive antiviral responses.

“These data represent a landmark moment for the HBV field,” said Dr. Man-Fung Yuen, lead investigator. “For the first time, we have clinical biopsy evidence that a gene editing therapy aimed at elimination of cccDNA can directly modify HBV DNA in infected human liver tissue—a step that we believe could redefine what is achievable in HBV drug development.”

Next Steps: Toward Functional Cure and Expansion

PBGENE-HBV remains the only clinical-stage gene editing therapy targeting direct viral elimination as the curative mechanism for chronic Hepatitis B infection. Precision will complete all administrations in Cohort 3, expected to finalize in the first quarter of 2026. Precision can test for a cure by stopping nucleos(t)ide analogues when HBsAg becomes undetectable or as HBsAg values approach undetectable on a sustained basis. In parallel, other cohorts are planned including one to evaluate a 4-week dosing interval between administrations in addition to the current 8-week intervals in Cohorts 1-3, enabled by a predictable and manageable safety profile of PBGENE thus far.

After identifying the dose and schedule that allows for stopping of nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy, Precision expects to advance PBGENE-HBV into the Part 2 expansion phase of the ELIMINATE-B study. The goal in Part 2 is to evaluate the optimized dose regimen in a larger number of patients for safety and efficacy. Paired biopsies are expected to be conducted in all patients in Part 2 in order to provide robust biologic evidence of gene editing at the root viral source of the disease and cccDNA elimination.

About PBGENE-HBV (Viral Elimination Program)

PBGENE-HBV is Precision’s wholly owned in vivo gene editing program under investigation in a global first-in-human clinical trial, designed to be a potentially curative treatment for chronic Hepatitis B infection. PBGENE-HBV is the first and only potentially curative gene editing program to enter the clinic that is specifically designed to eliminate the root cause of chronic Hepatitis B, cccDNA, while inactivating integrated HBV DNA. The ELIMINATE-B trial is investigating PBGENE-HBV in HBeAg-negative patients at multiple ascending dose levels with three dose administrations per dose level in patients with chronic Hepatitis B. PBGENE-HBV has been granted breakthrough designation but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

About Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is a leading cause of morbidity in the United States and death globally, with no curative options currently available for patients. Despite the availability of approved antiviral therapies, an estimated 300 million people globally and 1-2 million people in the United States are estimated to have chronic hepatitis B infection. An estimated 15% to 40% of patients with HBV infections may develop complications, such as cirrhosis, liver failure, or liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), which account for the majority of HBV-related deaths.

Chronic hepatitis B infection is primarily driven by persistence of HBV cccDNA, which enables continued viral replication, and integration of HBV DNA into the human genome in liver cells. Current treatments for patients with chronic hepatitis B include agents that result in long-term viral suppression as indicated by reduction of circulating HBV DNA, but these therapies do not eradicate HBV cccDNA, rarely lead to functional cure, and require lifelong administration.

About the Phase 1 ELIMINATE-B Trial

The Phase 1 ELIMINATE-B study is currently enrolling HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients at world-class sites in Moldova, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and the United States. The goal of the study is to define the optimal dose, frequency, and number of dose administrations for safely eliminating cccDNA and inactivating integrated HBV DNA. With regulatory clearance already granted, Precision expects to expand the study to clinical trial sites in the United Kingdom and continue accelerating recruitment and evaluation of a genetically diverse patient population in the Phase 1 study.

Northwell’s Dr. Stacey E. Rosen delivers Presidential Address at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2025

Northwell’s Dr. Stacey E. Rosen delivers Presidential Address at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2025




Northwell’s Dr. Stacey E. Rosen delivers Presidential Address at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2025

NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Stacey E. Rosen, MD, a cardiologist and executive director of Northwell Health’s Katz Institute for Women’s Health and the 2025-2026 volunteer president of the American Heart Association, delivered a poignant and powerful Presidential Address at the opening of the Association’s Scientific Sessions 2025, which took place November 7-10. Her keynote speech, which kicked off the annual conference, challenged decades of male-centric research, outlining a transformative vision for the future of women’s cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health and calling for a fundamental shift in scientific inquiry and clinical practice.




Addressing an audience of more than 10,000 leading cardiologists, researchers, and media, Dr. Rosen opened with a compelling analogy of two babies, her son and daughter, born on the same day in 1992. She lamented how, historically, her son and other boys around the world would benefit from a vast body of sex-specific research, prevention strategies and treatment options, while for girls it was “not so much.”

“For too long, it was widely believed that human hearts were human hearts, and human brains were human brains,” Dr. Rosen explained, leading scientists to study men and simply apply any findings to women. This flawed approach persisted because, as she noted from discussions with leading experts in the past. “We didn’t think it mattered,” said Dr. Rosen, senior vice president of Women’s Health at Northwell.

Dr. Rosen traced the origins of this male-centric model back to the 1940s, highlighting how early population studies identifying risk factors for coronary artery disease predominantly included only men. While advancements led to decreasing heart disease mortality rates for men, women’s mortality rates continued to rise, eventually surpassing men’s, and the gap widened. This critical disparity spurred a series of pivotal initiatives, including the establishment of the NIH’s Office of Research in Women’s Health and groundbreaking studies that began to uncover sex-differentiated mechanisms of heart disease.

Despite significant progress, Dr. Rosen emphasized that serious questions remain, such as why women with diabetes have a markedly different risk factor profile than men, why women are more prone to migraines with aura (a stroke risk factor), and why mechanisms of sudden cardiac death differ by sex.

Her remarks ended with a powerful call for action and an appeal for broader engagement. Dr. Rosen stressed that improving women’s health requires more than just women scientists and clinicians.

“Women trying to answer these critical questions don’t need men merely as allies … what we really need are men as accomplices to improve the heart and brain health of women!” she asserted, challenging the audience to “make a name for yourself” by pursuing groundbreaking science in this vital area.

“Dr. Rosen’s Presidential Address was a bold and inspiring call to action that underscores the urgent need to transform how we approach women’s cardiovascular health,” said Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association. “Dr. Rosen has been a longtime volunteer and tireless advocate for the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement and has championed initiatives like our Research Goes Red and the Go Red for Women Venture Fund. These programs are driving innovation, amplifying women’s voices and accelerating solutions that improve outcomes for all women.”

The American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions is the world’s premier cardiovascular conference, bringing together basic scientists, clinicians, and researchers from across the globe. This annual event serves as a critical platform for presenting the latest groundbreaking science, research and advances in cardiovascular medicine. Attendees engage in learning, networking and collaboration, shaping the future of heart and brain health through the unveiling of new guidelines, pivotal trials and innovative therapies across a wide spectrum of specialties. Having taken the helm as the Association’s volunteer president in June, Dr. Rosen helps share insights to guide the strategic direction of various Association committees.

At Northwell, Dr. Rosen oversees Northwell’s Katz Institute for Women’s Health. Its mission is to improve the health of women throughout their lives, bridging the gap between wellness and personalized care delivery. With a dedicated focus on women, the Katz Institute offers a comprehensive approach and sets the standards for excellence in patient-centered women’s health care. It also serves as a convener and amplifier for all of Northwell’s women’s health initiatives, including supporting sex- and gender-specific research, providing expert, coordinated clinical care and educating the community on prevention and well-being.

  • Additional large reductions in Apo B and Lp(a) and
  • Significant increase in subjects achieving guideline LDL-C targets.

“The study is the first to assess a plasma binding PCSK9 inhibitor, Lerodalcibep, in patients switched from a hepatic PCSK9 synthesis inhibitor and which showed synergistic efficacy, further reducing LDL-C, Apo B and Lp(a) and increased patients ability to achieve the new more stringent LDL-C guideline targets,” said Dr. Evan Stein MD PhD, Chief Executive and Scientific Officer of LIB Therapeutics and continued. “The results are consistent with combined inhibition of circulating free PCSK9 from non-hepatic and reduced hepatic synthesis and provides an additional pathway to achieving treatment lipid goals in the many patients who cannot achieve them with current therapies. Significant additional studies are required to determine the optimal dosing frequency and safety of combining these therapies.”

About Lerodalcibep

Lerodalcibep is a novel, small protein-binding, third-generation PCSK9 inhibitor, and has been developed as a more convenient, once-monthly, single small-volume, subcutaneous injection that will not require refrigeration at home or in travel. These features make Lerodalcibep a unique alternative to approved PCSK9 inhibitors. The anti-clockwise binding domain of Lerodalcibep is an 11-kDa polypeptide called an accenting, engineered for high-affinity subnanomolar binding to human PCSK9 and fused to human serum albumin to enhance plasma half-life.

In clinical trials, Lerodalcibep has demonstrated sustained LDL-C reductions of ≥60% in patients with, or at very-high or high risk of, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and ≥50% in those with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) who have more severe LDL-C elevations, and is expected to expand treatment options for the millions of patients around the world with CVD, including the 30 million individuals with VHF.

The global Phase 3 LIBerate program enrolled a diverse population of over 2,900 patients with CVD, without CVD at very high and high risk for CVD, including heterozygous and homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. Lerodalcibep was dosed once monthly for up to 52 weeks in these key registration-enabling, placebo-controlled trials, and over 2,400 patients have continued in the 72-week open-label extension trial.

LIB submitted a Biologic License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December 2024, and received formal filing by FDA in February with an anticipated PDUFA date on target for mid December this year. LIB is seeking approval of Lerodalcibep (LEROCHOL®) as an adjunct to diet and exercise to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in adults with hypercholesterolemia, including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH). Marketing Authorization Application was submitted to, and accepted by the European Medicines Agency in May with anticipated approval in June 2026.

About LIB Therapeutics Inc.

LIB Therapeutics is a privately-held, late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to bringing Lerodalcibep to the millions of patients with cardiovascular disease and to the 30 million individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) around the world, who require additional large reductions in LDL-C, despite maximally tolerated stains and other lipid lowering agents, to achieve LDL-C goals.

U.S. Hemp Roundtable Strongly Opposes Proposed Senate Language to Recriminalize Hemp

U.S. Hemp Roundtable Strongly Opposes Proposed Senate Language to Recriminalize Hemp




U.S. Hemp Roundtable Strongly Opposes Proposed Senate Language to Recriminalize Hemp

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#HempHelps–The U.S. Hemp Roundtable issues the following statement regarding the proposed Senate language to recriminalize hemp products, condemning the harmful decision by Congress that threatens to eliminate America’s $28.4 billion hemp industry and jeopardizes more than 300,000 American jobs. If passed, this legislation would wipe out 95% of the industry, shuttering small businesses and American farms while costing states $1.5 billion in lost tax revenue.


Despite misleading claims this language protects non-intoxicating CBD products, the reality is that more than 90% of non-intoxicating hemp-derived products contain levels of THC that are greater than the proposed cap of .4 mg per container. As a result, seniors, veterans, and many other consumers who depend on hemp for their health and well-being would be violating federal law to purchase these products, disrupting their care and leaving them scrambling for potentially harmful alternatives.

While Congress pushes forward with this hemp-killing provision, the fight is far from over. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is submitting an emergency amendment to strike the hemp ban from the proposed legislation, a move fully supported by the hemp industry. His leadership offers a critical lifeline to thousands of American farmers, entrepreneurs, and consumers, and the industry stands united behind his efforts.

If the language passes, as-is, the hemp industry is committed to continuing the fight. During the one-year proposed moratorium, U.S. Hemp Roundtable will work closely with lawmakers to reverse the ban and replace it with responsible, science-based regulations that crackdown on misleading and purely synthetic products, create restrictions that keep products out of the hands of children, and promote standard manufacturing practices. Unlike these regulations, the current proposal fails to protect consumers and risks fueling a dangerous black market.

“Our industry is being used as a pawn as leaders work to reopen the government. Recriminalizing hemp will force American farms and businesses to close and disrupt the wellbeing of countless Americans who depend on hemp,” said Jonathan Miller, U.S. Hemp Roundtable General Counsel. “We support Senator Rand Paul’s efforts to push back on this language and will continue to fight alongside him for a regulated, safe, and robust hemp industry.”

About the U.S. Hemp Roundtable:

The U.S. Hemp Roundtable is a coalition of dozens of leading companies and organizations committed to safe hemp and CBD products. We proudly represent the industry’s major national grassroots organizations and are leading the way forward for hemp and CBD products through education and action.

Hepta Unveils First Multi-Omic Atlas of MASH, Linking Liver Pathway Biology to cfDNA Methylation in Blood

Hepta Unveils First Multi-Omic Atlas of MASH, Linking Liver Pathway Biology to cfDNA Methylation in Blood

Hepta’s liquid biopsy-native AI model links coordinated methylation and gene expression changes to fibrosis progression, showing that liver biology can be measured non-invasively from blood

FOSTER CITY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hepta, a biotechnology company using transformer-based AI to decode the cell-free DNA (cfDNA) epigenome and detect organ-specific signals of chronic disease, today announced the creation of an unparalleled multi-omic atlas of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH) in collaboration with Duke University. This work builds on Hepta’s expanded cfDNA studies with Mainz University and Akero Therapeutics’ Phase 3 clinical trial program, further strengthening the company’s partnerships across academic and clinical research.


The atlas integrates single-cell and bulk data across hundreds of liver samples, including gene expression, chromatin accessibility, and DNA methylation, paired with cfDNA methylation from matched blood plasma. Presented this week at AASLD’s The Liver Meeting, the atlas reveals how coordinated methylation and transcriptional programs drive inflammation and fibrosis and demonstrates that these same molecular signals are detectable in blood using Hepta’s liquid biopsy-native AI platform.

“In liver tissue, we observe pathway activity, gene expression, and cell type composition that are mediated by methylation across disease severity,” said Anna Mae Diehl, M.D., Florence McAlister Distinguished Professor of Medicine at Duke University. “Critically, those same signatures are measurable in plasma cfDNA, indicating that cfDNA methylation can serve as a faithful mirror of liver biology. That concordance supports cfDNA methylation as a plausible, non-invasive readout of pathway activities in liver disease, offering insights far deeper than traditional biomarkers.”

The MASH atlas maps how methylation governs pathway-level activity across hepatocytes, cholangiocytes, and stromal cells in the liver. The analysis shows the role of methylation in a broad dysregulation of metabolic, inflammatory, fibrogenic, and bile-acid pathways that track with fibrosis severity, including mechanisms targeted by emerging therapeutic classes such as GLP-1, FGF-21, and THR-β agonists. The MASH atlas also demonstrates that the same pathway signatures observed in liver tissue are reproducibly detectable in cfDNA circulating in blood, creating a molecular bridge between liver-tissue biology and liquid-biopsy measurement.

This foundational work, in addition to Hepta’s expanded cfDNA results spanning across multiple independent cohorts — including Duke University, Mainz University, and Akero Therapeutics’ phase 3 clinical trial program — was featured in Dr. Jörn Schattenberg’s presentation at the Precision Liver Symposium.

“Across independent cohorts, we see strong, consistent diagnostic performance from Hepta’s cfDNA methylation platform,” said Jörn Schattenberg, M.D., Director of the Metabolic Liver Research Center at Saarland University. “What’s striking is that the same readout also delivers deep biological insights. It’s not just a yes-or-no test; these signals reveal how repair and fibrosis programs evolve, which opens the door to earlier intervention and therapy guidance.”

Hepta’s transformer-based, liquid biopsy–native AI was specifically designed to resolve the complexity of cfDNA. The model interprets billions of cfDNA fragments in context, detecting subtle, distributed patterns that correspond to tissue-level changes. By decoding the entire cfDNA epigenetic landscape, the platform enables tissue-level biological interpretation from a standard blood draw.

While traditional panel biomarkers infer fibrosis indirectly, cfDNA methylation directly reads the gene-regulatory programs driving those changes. Together with the multi-omic atlas, these data represent the largest multi-cohort validation to date of cfDNA methylation as a biomarker in MASH and demonstrate how deep multi-omics can inform clinical translation.

“Our data demonstrate that cfDNA captures the molecular fingerprint of disrupted repair,” said Hamed Amini, Ph.D., Co-founder and CEO of Hepta. “The atlas establishes the biological foundation for our technology, showing that the same pathways we observe in tissue are encoded in blood. This work lays a foundation for biology-driven detection and for future therapeutic strategies that address the mechanisms behind liver damage and fibrosis.”

Hepta’s approach extends the frontier of liquid biopsy beyond oncology, positioning cfDNA methylation as a scalable molecular window into chronic disease biology and, potentially, a snapshot of full body health. The company is expanding its clinical studies to further validate cfDNA-based biomarkers for early detection, informing treatment strategies, and longitudinal monitoring across the care continuum.

About Hepta

Hepta detects chronic disease early by using cfDNA epigenetic analysis and AI to deliver accurate, non-invasive diagnostics at population scale. Founded by former Illumina, Grail and Google scientists, the company is backed by Felicis Ventures, Illumina Ventures, and SeaX Ventures. Hepta is proving that blood-based epigenetic biomarkers can replace invasive biopsies, enabling earlier and more accessible detection of diseases like MASH and laying the foundation for future applications across chronic diseases.
