Full Press Release Details
SPY001 is a novel, half-life extended α4β7 antibody in development for the treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
SPY001 pharmacokinetic (PK) data up to eight months continues to support a potential best-in-class profile, including a half-life more than three times that of vedolizumab
SPY001 pharmacodynamic (PD) data up to eight months showed that a single dose of SPY001 resulted in rapid and sustained saturation of α4β7 receptors at expected Phase 2 trough concentrations
Spyre remains on track to initiate its planned platform Phase 2 trial in mid-2025 that includes SPY001, followed by SPY002 (TL1A), SPY003 (IL-23), and combinations thereof, with initial monotherapy data expected in 2026
WALTHAM, Mass.,May 5, 2025/PRNewswire/ -- Spyre Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SYRE) (the "Company" or "Spyre"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing best-in-class antibody engineering, dose optimization, and rational therapeutic combinations for the treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease ("IBD") and other immune-mediated diseases, today announced two poster presentations at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2025, being heldMay 3-6, 2025, inSan Diego, California.
"Extended follow-up data continue to show that SPY001 is well tolerated and has a PK and PD profile that supports potential best-in-class quarterly or biannual dosing for patients with IBD," said Deanna Nguyen, MD, SVP of Clinical Development at Spyre. "We look forward to testing SPY001 as a monotherapy and as a backbone for combinations in our Phase 2 platform trial in ulcerative colitis patients, which remains on-track to begin mid-year."
The poster will be available for viewing during the DDW exhibition, and details are as follows:
Title: Interim PK Data for SPY001, a Novel Half-Life Extended Monoclonal Antibody Targeting α4β7, Suggest a Potential for Q3M or Q6M Maintenance Dosing for Inflammatory Bowel DiseaseAuthors: D Nguyen, L Yan, K Hew, P Patel, R McLean, R Himes, T Das, M Huyghe, B Connolly, J Friedman
Title: Combined inhibition of TL1A and integrin β7 is superior to either monotherapy in mouse models of colitis and coadministration of SPY001 and SPY002 demonstrates no drug-drug effects on exposure in non-human primatesAuthors: M Siegel, J Friedman, D Nguyen, J McNally, M Kennedy, O Ballew, M Rose, A Spencer

About SPY001
SPY001 is an investigational novel, extended half-life monoclonal antibody targeting α4β7 for the treatment of IBD. IBD is a chronic condition characterized by inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract and encompasses two main disorders: ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Inthe United States, it is estimated that approximately 2.4 million individuals currently have IBD. SPY001 targets the same epitope as vedolizumab and demonstrates equivalent potency and selectivity as vedolizumab in head-to-head preclinical studies. Interim data from a Phase 1 trial demonstrated that SPY001 was well tolerated and exhibited a human half-life of ~80 days, approximately three-fold greater than vedolizumab. This half-life supports potential quarterly or biannual SC maintenance dosing in a single autoinjector compared to vedolizumab's Q2W SC profile. Based on initial Phase 1 clinical data, the company plans to initiate a Phase 2 platform trial in ulcerative colitis in mid-2025.
