Granata Bio Announces Initial Pregnancies in GRACE Study 

Pregnancies represent an important milestone for GB-hMG program

Duxbury, MA — May 6, 2026 — Granata Bio Corporation, a biopharmaceutical company focused exclusively on reproductive health, today announce the first pregnancies in the GRACE study evaluating Granata Bio Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (GB-hMG).

Gonadotropins, including GB-hMG, are a well-established component of IVF protocols, supporting follicular development and progression to pregnancy. The pregnancies observed in the ongoing GRACE investigational study represent an important milestone for the GB-hMG program. 

“These first pregnancies in the GRACE study support the clinical potential of GB-hMG within routine IVF practice,” said John Frattarelli, MD, HCLD, Medical, Practice and Laboratory Director at the Fertility Institute of Hawaii and a GRACE Study Investigator. “These early outcomes are encouraging; continued enrollment and follow-up will be important to fully evaluate the study results.” 

Granata Bio’s mission is to reshape the future of infertility treatment by bringing innovation back to reproductive health and expanding therapeutic choices for patients on a path to parenthood.   

“These early pregnancies represent an important clinical milestone for the GB-hMG program,” said Sarah Faranda, Chief Development Officer of Granata Bio. “We are especially encouraged to see patients progressing toward their goal of building families.” 

“The progress we are seeing in GRACE reflects our development philosophy at Granata Bio: disciplined execution, close collaboration with investigators, and a focus on generating clinically meaningful and regulatory-relevant evidence. We look forward to completing the study and generating a comprehensive data set to define the role of GB-hMG in ART.” 

The GRACE investigational study remains ongoing, with recruitment continuing for women ages 35-42 (NCT07216742).  

About the GRACE Study
