- In August 2026, Absci Corporation reported positive interim Phase 1 data from its HEADLINETM trial of ABS-201 for pattern hair loss, indicating a favorable safety profile and an estimated half-life of at least 65 days, while also reaffirming plans to advance the program into endometriosis and a Phase 2 trial in 2026.
