Kostas Biliouris has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Korro Bio’s promising preclinical data and potential market impact. The data demonstrates sustained RNA editing efficiency, even under acute inflammatory conditions, which sets Korro Bio apart from the standard of care in AAT augmentation. This differentiation is further supported by the ability to achieve up to 40% RNA editing in patient monocytes using LNP delivery, a significant improvement over GalNAc delivery methods.
Korro Bio’s lead program, KRRO-110, targets a high unmet need in treating AATD, with no approved disease-modifying therapies currently available. The potential to address both manifestations of AATD presents a significant commercial opportunity. Additionally, the company’s early pipeline, which targets conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, ALS, and pain, further underscores its potential for growth and innovation in the RNA editing field.
