Watertown, Mass. (May 9, 2025) Kymera Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: KYMR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing a new class of
oral small molecule degrader medicines for immunological diseases, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, and provided business highlights and updates on its pipeline.
The Kymera team continues to advance our first-in-class pipeline on the
path to revolutionizing the treatment of complex immuno-inflammatory diseases, said Nello Mainolfi, PhD, Founder, President and CEO, Kymera Therapeutics. We are making tremendous progress across our programs and approaching key near term
inflection points. In June, we will be sharing the KT-621 healthy volunteer data for our STAT6 program, an important milestone in the development of this franchise. Additionally, we recently initiated, well
ahead of schedule, patient dosing in the KT-621 BroADen Phase 1b study, with data in the fourth quarter of this year. This is another important inflection point as we rapidly progress KT-621 toward later-stage studies.
Dr. Mainolfi continued, Additionally, we are excited to introduce KT-579, our oral IRF5 degrader program. IRF5 is a genetically validated and historically undrugged transcription factor with broad clinical promise in areas of high unmet need, and we plan to progress the program
into the clinic early next year. The unique pharmacology of IRF5 that is cell type and disease specific perfectly complements Kymera s industry-leading portfolio of oral immunology medicines and further positions the company to transform the
treatment of immunological diseases for millions of patients with best-in-class oral drugs.
Finally, we recently made the strategic decision not to advance our TYK2 degrader, KT-295, into clinical development. Although we completed IND-enabling activities with no adverse findings in any of our studies, we have decided to reprioritize these
investments. This decision will allow us to dedicate more human and capital resources to our STAT6 franchise, one of the largest immunology opportunities in the industry that is rapidly advancing, as well as to our new IRF5 program. This strategic
prioritization also extends our runway from mid-2027 into the first half of 2028, well beyond multiple important catalysts across our pipeline.
Business Highlights, Recent Developments and Upcoming Milestones
STAT6 Degrader Program
KT-621 is an investigational,
first-in-class, once daily, oral degrader of STAT6, the specific transcription factor responsible for
IL-4/IL-13 signaling and the central driver of Th2 inflammation. In preclinical studies, KT-621 demonstrated dupilumab-like
activity in several in vitro and in vivo models and was safe and well tolerated. KT-621, the first STAT6 directed medicine to enter clinical evaluation, has the potential to transform treatment
paradigms for more than 130 million patients around the world, including children and adults, suffering from Th2 diseases such as AD, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP),
eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), and prurigo nodularis (PN), among others.
IRF5 Degrader Program
KT-579 is an investigational,
first-in-class, oral degrader of IRF5, a genetically validated transcription factor and a master regulator of immunity. KT-579
has the potential to selectively block inflammation and restore immune regulation by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines, Type I IFN, and autoantibody production while sparing normal cell function. In
preclinical studies, KT-579 degraded IRF5 across multiple preclinical species and in all disease-relevant tissues. In preclinical models of lupus and rheumatoid arthritis (RA),
KT-579 was equally or more efficacious than clinically active or marketed small molecule inhibitors and biologics. In preclinical safety studies, KT-579 did not show any
adverse effects at concentrations up to 200-fold of the projected human efficacious levels. KT-579 has the potential to be the first novel mechanism with broad utility
in diseases where effective and well tolerated oral therapies are needed, such as lupus, Sj gren s, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), RA and others.
IRAK4 Degrader Program
KT-474 (SAR444656) is an investigational,
first-in-class, once daily, oral degrader of IRAK4, a key protein involved in
TLR/IL-1R-driven inflammation. Given IRAK4 s ability to block IL-1 family cytokine and TLR signaling, KT-474 holds promise to deliver the combined activity of upstream biologics in an oral drug for multiple diseases such as hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), AD, RA, asthma, IBD and others.
Collaboration Revenues: Collaboration revenues were $22.1 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $10.3 million for the first
quarter of 2024. Collaboration revenues were all attributable to the Company s Sanofi collaboration. The recently achieved $20 million milestone was recorded in the first quarter of 2025 with the majority recognized as collaboration
Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $80.3 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to
$48.8 million for the first quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to increased expenses related to the investment in the Company s STAT6 and TYK2 degrader programs, platform and discovery programs, as well as an increase in
occupancy and related costs due to continued growth in the research and development organization. Stock based compensation expenses included in R&D were $7.5 million and $6.1 million for the first quarters of 2025 and 2024,
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $16.3 million for the first quarter of 2025
compared to $14.4 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in legal and professional service fees in support of the Company s growth and an increase in personnel, facility, occupancy, and other
expenses to support growth as a public company. Stock based compensation expenses included in G&A were $6.7 million and $5.9 million for the first quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Net Loss: Net loss was $65.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $48.6 million for the first quarter of 2024.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: As of March 31, 2025, Kymera had $775 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments. Kymera expects that its
cash and cash equivalents will provide the Company with a cash runway into the first half of 2028, beyond multiple clinical inflection points in our pipeline.
