Granata Bio Completes Screening in Phase III GRACE Study of GB-hMG

Pivotal IVF study advances into pregnancy follow-up, with the first GRACE baby expected by year-end

BOSTON, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Granata Bio Corporation, a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to advancing reproductive medicine, today announced the completion of screening in its Phase III GRACE study evaluating Granata Bio Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (GB-hMG) in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).

More than 750 women have been screened for GRACE, which is expected to enroll approximately 625 participants across two cohorts spanning ages 18–42. With screening complete, the study is progressing through treatment, embryo transfer and pregnancy follow-up, with the first live birth expected by the end of 2026.

"Fifteen exceptional fertility clinics chose to participate in GRACE, and their investigators and study teams have done a tremendous job identifying, screening and enrolling these cohorts," said Evan Sussman, Chief Executive Officer of Granata Bio. "We're grateful to everyone who considered participating in GRACE, and we hope that those who enrolled have great outcomes - both in the study and in building their families."

"GRACE is designed to evaluate the cumulative live birth rate following a single stimulation cycle with Granata's GB-hMG," said Barbara Cometti, PhD, Head of Scientific Affairs at Granata Bio. "This means following participants throughout their entire treatment journey, from ovarian stimulation through all available embryo transfers. While this approach requires time, it allows us to assess the outcome that ultimately matters most: the chance of achieving a live birth."

Participants will continue through the study's planned treatment and follow-up periods. Granata Bio expects to share further updates as the study progresses.

Granata Bio expects GRACE to support a potential Biologics License Application for GB-hMG and will continue to follow participants through the study's planned treatment and follow-up periods.
