BioAge Labs doses first patient in Phase 2 DME trial of oral BGE-102
BioAge Labs said the first participant has been dosed in QUELL-DME, a randomized, controlled Phase 2 trial of once-daily oral BGE-102 in adults with diabetic macular edema. The filing also updated the trial design, with topline results expected in the second half of 2027, which is a clinical milestone rather than a financial result for shareholders.
