Beam Therapeutics to Present Updated Clinical Data from BEACON Phase 1/2 Trial of Risto-cel in Sickle Cell Disease in an Oral Presentation at American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting
Beam Therapeutics said it will present updated BEACON Phase 1/2 trial data for risto-cel in sickle cell disease at the ASH Annual Meeting on December 12–15, 2026. The company said initial patient-reported outcomes showed early and sustained improvements across several well-being and symptom measures, and that a U.S. BLA submission is expected as early as year-end 2026.
Why it matters — The presentation and stated regulatory timeline provide BEAM watchers with updates on clinical results and the development path for risto-cel.
