Spyre Therapeutics (SYRE) reported that its anti-IL-23 antibody, SPY003, met primary endpoints in a Phase 2 trial, showing a 10.0-point reduction in Robart’s Histopathology Index score. This follows successful results for SPY001 and SPY002, completing proof-of-concept for all three molecules in its IBD portfolio. The company has $1.1 billion in cash, enough to fund operations into 2029. Part B of the SKYLINE trial, testing drug combinations, is still enrolling, with data expected in 2027. Spyre
