Mereo BioPharma is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of innovative therapeutics for rare diseases, with a focus on setrusumab for osteogenesis imperfecta and alvelestat for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-associated lung disease.
In its first quarter of 2025 financial results, Mereo BioPharma reported ongoing progress in its Phase 3 Orbit study of setrusumab, with expectations for significant milestones throughout the year. The company also highlighted its cash position of $62.5 million, which is projected to support operations into 2027.
Key financial metrics revealed a net loss of $12.9 million for the quarter, an increase from the previous year’s $9.0 million loss. This was primarily due to operating losses and foreign currency translation impacts. Research and development expenses slightly decreased, while general and administrative expenses increased due to changes in reimbursement and employee-related costs.
Strategically, Mereo continues to advance its pipeline with setrusumab and alvelestat, the latter having received Orphan Designation from the European Commission. The company is also in discussions with potential partners for the development and commercialization of alvelestat.
Looking ahead, Mereo BioPharma remains focused on achieving regulatory approvals and successful commercialization of its lead candidates, while maintaining a prudent approach to cash management to sustain its operations and strategic initiatives into the future.
