Forward guidance

Lyra Therapeutics is primarily focused on the ongoing ENLIGHTEN Phase 3 trials and expects results from the ENLIGHTEN 1 extension study in Q4 2024 and ENLIGHTEN 2 pivotal trial in 1H 2025. The company anticipates its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balance is sufficient to fund operating expenses and capital expenditures into the first quarter of 2026.

Tailwinds

  • Results from the ENLIGHTEN 1 52-week extension study are expected in Q4 2024.
  • Topline results from ENLIGHTEN 2 are expected in the first half of 2025.
  • Enrollment in ENLIGHTEN 2, the second pivotal Phase 3 trial of LYR-210 in CRS, is ongoing; enrollment completion is expected in the second half of 2024.
  • Further analysis of the ENLIGHTEN 1 data shows that LYR-210 demonstrated a positive effect compared to sham control in 3CS and nasal congestion scores at 24 weeks in the CRS patient subgroup with nasal polyps.
  • Based on our current business plan, we anticipate that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balance is sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditures into the first quarter of 2026.

Headwinds

  • The ENLIGHTEN 1 Phase 3 trial did not meet its primary endpoint of statistically significant improvement compared to sham control in the composite score of the three cardinal symptoms (3CS) of CRS at 24 weeks.
  • Lyra announced cost-cutting measures to preserve capital, including a reduction in force of approximately 75% of its workforce.
  • Lyra stopped manufacturing and commercialization efforts and is seeking to sublease its three leaseholds to significantly reduce the Company’s operating costs.
  • Lyra paused development efforts for LYR‑220 in an effort to focus on the ongoing ENLIGHTEN Phase 3 program evaluating LYR-210.
  • Net loss for the second quarter 2024 was $48.1 million compared to $15.6 million for the same period in 2023.
