Advanced Clinical Progress of Nimacimab
The Phase IIa CBeyond study is advancing as planned, on budget, and ahead of schedule. Enrollment was completed in February, with the 26-week visit for the last patient projected to occur soon. The study has been reviewed four times by the Data Safety Monitoring Committee with no recommendations for changes.
Nimacimab's Potential in Obesity Treatment
Nimacimab demonstrated a 44% vehicle-adjusted weight loss in combination with a suboptimal dose of tirzepatide, outperforming either agent alone. It shows potential as a maintenance therapy to sustain weight loss with better tolerability.
Strong Financial Position
Skye Bioscience ended the second quarter with cash and cash equivalents totaling $48.6 million, which is projected to fund operations through at least Q1 2027.
Positive Preclinical Findings
Nimacimab demonstrated superior durability of weight loss in preclinical studies compared to incretin therapy, maintaining post-treatment weight for approximately 20 days.
Strategic Team Expansion
The company expanded its team to 20 employees, making key hires in regulatory affairs, quality, clinical operations, and CMC to support advancing development activities.
