Spyre Therapeutics Inc. Updates on SPY001 Development

Spyre Therapeutics, Inc., a biotechnology company specializing in the development of antibodies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), has announced significant updates regarding its lead candidate, SPY001. The company revealed poster presentations at the Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2025, showcasing data from an ongoing Phase 1 trial of SPY001, a novel, half-life extended α4β7 antibody.

The data presented includes pharmacokinetic (PK) results up to eight months, which continue to support SPY001’s potential as a best-in-class treatment. Notably, SPY001 has demonstrated a half-life more than three times that of vedolizumab, a current standard in IBD treatment. Additionally, pharmacodynamic (PD) data up to eight months indicates that a single dose of SPY001 results in rapid and sustained saturation of α4β7 receptors at concentrations expected to be effective in Phase 2 trials.

Spyre Therapeutics remains on track to initiate its planned platform Phase 2 trial in mid-2025. This trial aims to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of SPY001 in treating IBD, including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD).
