Business Segments and Product Lines:
- IBD (SKYLINE Trial): Completed Part A of the Phase 2 trial, achieving positive topline induction data for all three monotherapies (SPY001, SPY002, SPY003).
- SPY001, SPY002, and SPY003 all achieved primary endpoints, demonstrating statistically significant reductions in Robart's Histopathology Index scores of 9.2, 10.7, and 10.0 points, respectively.
- Clinical remission rates were 40% (SPY001), 33% (SPY002), and 20% (SPY003); endoscopic improvement rates were 51%, 42%, and 30%, respectively.
- Modified Mayo Score changes from baseline at Week 12 were -3.7 for SPY001 and SPY002, and -3.5 for SPY003.
- SKYLINE Part B is enrolling ahead of schedule, enabling an increased enrollment target.
- Rheumatic Diseases (SKYWAY Trial): Reported positive topline results for SPY072 in the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) sub-study, though the magnitude of benefit was insufficient to prioritize advancement. SPY072 did not meet primary endpoints in the psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) sub-studies. The Company will not advance SPY072 in rheumatic diseases.
- Hidradenitis Suppurativa (SKYLIGHT Trial): Initiated a new Phase 2 trial (SKYLIGHT) to provide clinical proof-of-concept for dual TL1A and IL-17A/F inhibition in HS.
- Pipeline Updates:
- SPY001 (anti-α4β7), SPY002 (anti-TL1A), and SPY003 (anti-IL-23) are being evaluated for IBD.
- SPY072 (anti-TL1A) is being developed for HS as a monotherapy and in combination with SPY007 (anti-IL-17A/F).
- SPY007 is a preclinical-stage program targeting IL-17A and IL-17F.
- IBD (SKYLINE Trial): Completed Part A of the Phase 2 trial, achieving positive topline induction data for all three monotherapies (SPY001, SPY002, SPY003).
Market and Competitive Landscape:
- The US IBD market is estimated to affect approximately 2.4 million individuals, with the global market forecasted to exceed $40 billion by 2030.
- The US HS market is estimated to affect approximately 3.0 million patients, with the global market forecasted to exceed $10 billion by 2035.
- The Company aims to develop first- and best-in-class combination programs in IBD and HS.
Risks and Challenges:
- Forward-looking statements involve risks including regulatory feedback, potential disagreement by regulatory authorities with data interpretation, and the possibility of interim or final data differing from expectations.
- Risks include the potential impact of Trump Administration policies and changes in law on the Company's business.
- There is a risk that clinical trials may not be delivered within expected time frames or that results may not support advancement of product candidates.
- The Company does not plan to advance SPY072 in rheumatic diseases due to insufficient benefit magnitude in RA and failure to meet primary endpoints in PsA and axSpA.
Management Commentary and Tone:

- Management expressed strong conviction that combination products have the potential to transform the treatment paradigm in IBD, citing compelling Phase 2 monotherapy readouts.
