Unity Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ: UBX) is a leading biotechnology company focused on developing innovative therapeutics aimed at extending human healthspan by targeting age-related diseases. The company's pioneering approach centers on creating senolytic medicines, which selectively eliminate senescent cells – cells that contribute to aging and various diseases. Unity's initial efforts are directed toward treating conditions such as osteoporosis, eye diseases, and pulmonary diseases.
Unity’s main drug candidates include:
- UBX1325: A promising treatment for age-related eye diseases, including diabetic macular edema (DME). UBX1325 recently demonstrated positive results in the Phase 2 ENVISION study, maintaining vision gains and significantly reducing anti-VEGF treatment needs in patients with wet AMD.
- UBX2089: A circulating hormone being studied for multiple neurological conditions.
- UBX2050: Another investigational drug aimed at age-associated diseases.
Recently, Unity announced the successful results from Part B of the Phase 2 ENVISION study for UBX1325, highlighting its safety and efficacy in maintaining visual acuity and reducing the treatment burden for patients with wet AMD who were not receiving optimal benefits from ongoing anti-VEGF therapy. The study showed that 40% of UBX1325-treated patients did not require anti-VEGF rescue through 48 weeks.
Unity's current focus is on its DME program, where UBX1325 showed a statistically significant improvement in visual acuity during the Phase 2 BEHOLD study. The company has initiated a Phase 2b study and plans to randomize the first patient in Q4 2023. Additional data from the ENVISION study is expected to be presented at upcoming medical conferences.
About the ENVISION Study: The Phase 2 ENVISION study is a multi-center, randomized, double-masked, active-controlled study evaluating the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and durability of UBX1325 in combination with aflibercept for patients with neovascular AMD.
