Shares of BioAge Labs were higher after the company shared positive data for a trial of its drug as a treatment for inflammation.

The stock gained 9% to $20.49 in pre-market trading Tuesday. Through Monday's close, shares were up 42% this year.

In a Phase 1 clinical trial, the drug BGE-102 achieved potential best-in-class reductions in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, a test of inflammation levels and cardiovascular risk.

Patients dosed with 60 milligrams achieved reductions that were comparable to those who received a higher dose of 120 milligrams, the biopharmaceutical company said.

Based on the results, BioAge plans to start a dose-ranging Phase 2 trial studying the drug as a treatment for cardiovascular risk. It intends to initiate the trial in the first half of 2026, with data anticipated in the second half of the year.
