GRI Bio presents new Phase 2a biomarker data for GRI-0621 in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
GRI Bio, Inc. issued a press release on September 8, 2026 presenting new translational biomarker data from its Phase 2a GRI-0621-IPF-02 study of oral tazarotene in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and posted an updated corporate presentation. The filing reports that the 12-week, 35-patient study showed a placebo-adjusted FVC change of +99 mL overall, but the company states the study was not powered for efficacy and the FVC endpoint was exploratory, so the data do not establish clinical benefit.
