WALTHAM, Mass., Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spyre Therapeutics, Inc. ("Spyre" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:SYRE), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering long-acting antibodies and antibody combinations to redefine the standard of care for inflammatory bowel disease (“IBD”) and rheumatic diseases, today announced its third quarter 2025 financial results and provided program and corporate updates.
“We have now reported positive Phase 1 data for each of our four investigational antibodies, fully unlocking the breadth of our innovative Phase 2 trials evaluating product candidates with potential indication-leading profiles in diseases that together impact more than five million Americans," said Cameron Turtle, DPhil, Chief Executive Officer of Spyre. “With optimized monotherapies and uniquely differentiated combination therapies in IBD, and a potential first- and best-in-class anti-TL1A therapy in rheumatic diseases, our portfolio could redefine the standard of care in indications totaling over $60B in annual revenue. We anticipate 2026 will be a transformational year for the company as we expect to unveil six Phase 2 proof-of-concept readouts in these indications. With our world-class development organization, de-risked biology, and a recently-strengthened balance sheet, we are poised to deliver meaningful value for patients and shareholders alike.”
Development Pipeline Overview and Update
The Company is pioneering long-acting antibodies and antibody combinations to redefine the standard of care in IBD and rheumatic diseases. IBD is a chronic condition characterized by inflammation within the gastrointestinal tract, including two main disorders: ulcerative colitis ("UC") and Crohn's disease ("CD"). In the United States, it is estimated that approximately 2.4 million individuals are diagnosed with IBD. RA, PsA, and axSpA are chronic inflammatory autoimmune conditions primarily characterized by pain, stiffness, and swelling of the joints, as well as impacts on the spine and skin. Together, these rheumatic conditions affect more than three million individuals in the U.S. Existing therapies for these diseases today generally offer incomplete efficacy, meaningful safety warnings, and inconvenient dosing profiles.
Each of the Company's monotherapy programs in IBD target validated mechanisms with the potential for safe and effective treatment of UC and CD with infrequent dosing as a monotherapy or in rational combinations. The Company is also studying its anti-TL1A program as a monotherapy in indications outside IBD, including RA, PsA, and axSpA.
SPY001 – a highly potent and selective investigational monoclonal antibody targeting α4β7, engineered with half-life extension technology and formulated at high concentration with the goal of maximizing efficacy and enabling infrequent, subcutaneous maintenance dosing.
- In May 2025, extended follow up data were presented at Digestive Disease Week ("DDW") 2025 from the Phase 1 healthy volunteer trial, demonstrating a favorable safety profile across all dose groups, a meaningfully differentiated pharmacokinetic ("PK") profile supporting potential Q3M or Q6M maintenance dosing, and rapid and complete saturation of α4β7 receptors beyond six months with a single dose of 600mg.
- Based on these interim results, SPY001 was advanced into the SKYLINE Phase 2 platform trial, which initiated in May 2025.
SPY002 and SPY072 – two highly potent and selective, investigational anti-TL1A monoclonal antibodies, engineered with half-life extension technology and formulated at high concentration with the goal of maximizing efficacy and enabling infrequent, subcutaneous maintenance dosing. The Company believes TL1A has emerged as one of the most promising targets in IBD and broader immunology indications. SPY002 is being evaluated for the treatment of IBD in the SKYLINE study and SPY072 is being evaluated for the treatment of rheumatic diseases in the SKYWAY study.
- In June 2025, interim healthy volunteer data from two Phase 1 trials (one for SPY002 and one for SPY072) were presented, demonstrating favorable safety profiles, meaningfully differentiated PK profiles supporting potential Q3M or Q6M maintenance dosing, and complete suppression of free TL1A through up to 20 weeks at single 100mg doses. Longer-term data from these Phase 1 trials were presented at recent medical meetings, providing further support for these potential best-in-class profiles.
- Based on these interim results, SPY002 was advanced to the SKYLINE Phase 2 platform trial, and SPY072 was advanced to the SKYWAY Phase 2 basket trial, which initiated in September 2025.
SPY003 – a highly potent and selective investigational monoclonal antibody targeting the p19 subunit of IL-23, engineered with half-life extension technology and formulated at high concentration with the goal of maximizing efficacy and enabling infrequent, subcutaneous maintenance dosing.
- In November 2025, interim healthy volunteer data from a Phase 1 trial were disclosed, demonstrating that SPY003 exhibited a favorable safety profile and a half-life of ~85 days, supporting potential Q3M or Q6M maintenance dosing.
- Based on these interim results, SPY003 is expected to advance to the SKYLINE Phase 2 platform trial.
Rational Combinations – the Company plans to investigate combinations of our proprietary antibodies in nonclinical studies and clinical trials in order to evaluate whether combinations can potentially lead to best-in-class efficacy in IBD, with less frequent dosing.
- In February and May 2025, preclinical data for SPY120 were presented at medical meetings, demonstrating that the combined inhibition of TL1A and α4β7 is superior to either monotherapy in mouse models of colitis and that the PK profiles of SPY001 and SPY002 were similar in non-human primates whether dosed as monotherapy or in combination, while also demonstrating no drug effects on PK.
- Preclinical data for SPY130 and SPY230 have demonstrated enhanced efficacy and pharmacodynamics with SPY003 in combination with SPY001 and with SPY002.
- The Company expects to include each of its rational combinations in Part B of the SKYLINE trial.
SKYLINE Phase 2 Platform Trial - in May 2025, the Company initiated a Phase 2 induction and maintenance platform trial of SPY001, SPY002, SPY003, as well as pairwise combinations thereof (six active investigational agents in total) in patients with moderately to severely active UC. The trial consists of two parts:
- Part A: Open-label assessment of the safety and preliminary efficacy of a single dose level of each investigational monotherapy, with induction data expected in 2026.
- Part B: Randomized and placebo-controlled assessment of the safety and efficacy of investigational monotherapies (two dose levels) and combinations, with induction data expected in 2027.
SKYLINE is currently enrolling subjects into the SPY001 and SPY002 arms of Part A, with SPY003 expected to begin enrolling in the coming months. Part B is expected to begin enrolling after Part A completes enrollment.
SKYWAY Phase 2 Basket Trial in Rheumatic Diseases (RA, PsA, axSpA) - in September 2025, the Company initiated a Phase 2 randomized and placebo-controlled basket trial of SPY072 in patients with moderately to severely active RA, PsA, or axSpA. The trial consists of three sub-studies, each expected to provide proof-of-concept data in 2026:
- RA sub-study: Double-blind, placebo-controlled safety and efficacy study of two dose levels of SPY072 at Week 12.
- PsA sub-study: Double-blind, placebo-controlled safety and efficacy study of a single dose level of SPY072 at Week 16.
-
axSpA sub-study: Double-blind, placebo-controlled safety and efficacy study of a single dose level of SPY072 at Week 16.
Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Cash Position: As of September 30, 2025, Spyre had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $486.2 million. Pro forma cash of $782.7 million at September 30, 2025 also reflects $296.5 million in net proceeds from the recently closed October 2025 underwritten public offering of common stock. Net cash used in operating activities was $37.1 million for the third quarter of 2025.
Research and Development (R&D) expenses: R&D expenses totaled $45.2 million for the third quarter of 2025 and $44.7 million for the third quarter of 2024. Higher clinical trial expenses and milestone payments were offset by lower early-stage R&D activities.
General and Administrative (G&A) expenses: G&A expenses totaled $11.6 million for the third quarter of 2025 and $10.6 million for the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher headcount.
Other income (expense), net: Other income totaled $45.7 million for the third quarter of 2025 versus $13.6 million of expense for the third quarter of 2024 primarily driven by changes in the fair value of the contingent value right (CVR) liability.
Net Loss: Net loss totaled $11.2 million and $69.0 million for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
