Spyre的SPY072类风湿关节炎二期数据未达到公司优先推进RA单药开发门槛

Both doses of SPY072 demonstrated statistically significant benefits compared to placebo on one or more of the primary (change from baseline in DAS28-CRP), key secondary (ACR20), and exploratory endpoints (e.g., ACR50)
SPY072 was well tolerated with rates of adverse events comparable to placebo
Magnitude of effect did not meet the Company’s target to prioritize monotherapy development of SPY072 in rheumatoid arthritis (RA); results support the broad potential of Spyre’s TL1A antibodies in autoimmune disease and as combination components
Topline data for SPY072 in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) on track for Q4 2026 and for SPY072 in combination with IL17-A/F in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in late 2027 or early 2028
WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spyre Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYRE), a clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to developing next-generation therapies that elevate the standard in immunology by delivering more complete disease control, greater durability, and a simpler treatment experience for patients, today announced topline results from the RA sub-study of its Phase 2 SKYWAY basket trial evaluating SPY072 in rheumatic diseases. Both doses of SPY072 demonstrated statistically significant benefits compared to placebo on one or more of the primary (change from baseline in DAS28-CRP), key secondary (ACR20), and exploratory endpoints (ACR50). SPY072 was well tolerated, with a safety profile consistent with the TL1A class. The results provide proof-of-mechanism for TL1A in RA and support its potential in other autoimmune diseases and as a combination component, but did not meet the Company’s internal bar to prioritize advancement of SPY072 in RA.
“The SKYWAY trial was designed to explore the safety and efficacy of TL1A inhibition in a range of rheumatic diseases to identify opportunities for indication-leading products. The results today do not lead us to prioritize SPY072 as a monotherapy in RA. However, the favorable safety profile of TL1A inhibition alongside demonstrated efficacy across inflammatory bowel disease, HS, and now RA provide increased conviction that our long-acting TL1A antibodies have potential in a range of autoimmune diseases and as optimal combination components,” said Cameron Turtle, DPhil, Chief Executive Officer at Spyre. “We want to thank the patients, investigators, and site staff who participated in this study and look forward to results in PsA and axSpA next quarter. Additionally, we are excited to have initiated our SKYLIGHT trial of SPY072 in combination with IL-17A/F in HS, our fourth investigational combination of validated mechanisms in autoimmune indications with high unmet need.”
SKYWAY-RA efficacy results
SPY072 Low Dose demonstrated a statistically significant benefit compared to placebo on the primary endpoint (change from baseline in DAS28-CRP) at Week 12. Nominally significant improvements versus placebo were observed on the secondary endpoint (ACR20) with High Dose and on the exploratory endpoint (ACR50) with Low Dose. Results were generally comparable between advanced-therapy-naïve and advanced-therapy-experienced sub-groups.
| Endpoint (W12) | SPY072 High Dose (N=48) | SPY072 Low Dose (N=48) | Placebo (N=47) |
| ΔDAS28-CRP | -1.5 | -1.9* | -1.3 |
| ACR20 | 63%** | 58% | 43% |
| ACR50 | 31% | 38%** | 19% |
| ACR70 | 13% | 4% | 2% |
*p<0.05 for SPY072 versus placebo **nominal p<0.05 for SPY072 versus placebo
Both doses of SPY072 achieved target drug concentrations and provided complete and durable suppression of free TL1A through Week 12, suggesting complete target engagement.
Safety results
SPY072 was well tolerated with a safety profile consistent with the TL1A class. Rates of adverse events were comparable between active (27%) and placebo (36%) and generally mild or moderate. One Serious TEAE occurred on each arm, none deemed drug-related. One death occurred in a participant receiving placebo. The most common TEAEs were infections and infestations, occurring in 14% of SPY072-treated participants and 15% of placebo-treated participants.
Next steps
The Company remains at the forefront of evaluating potential first- and best-in-class monotherapies and combinations in I&I with numerous expected topline readouts over the next 12-18 months to prioritize programs for further development:
| Trial | Indication | Asset(s) | Expected timing |
| SKYLINE Part A | Ulcerative Colitis | SPY003 | Sept 2026 |
| SKYWAY | PsA, axSpA | SPY072 | 4Q 2026 |
| SKYLINE Part B | Ulcerative Colitis | SPY001, SPY002, SPY003 SPY120, SPY130, SPY230 | 2027 |
| SKYLIGHT | HS | SPY072 + IL-17A/F | Late 2027 or early 2028 |
About SKYWAY-RA
The SKYWAY-RA sub-study is one of three sub-studies in the SKYWAY basket trial (NCT07148414) and is a randomized and placebo-controlled study evaluating two doses of SPY072 in patients with moderate to severely active RA with inadequate response to conventional or advanced therapies. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline to Week 12 in Disease Activity Score in 28 joints, C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) and the secondary endpoint is the proportion of patients achieving an ACR20 response at Week 12.
