- Dosed first patients with dabogratinib in BEACH301 and SURF302; interim results from both studies expected in 2026 - - Expanded development of dabogratinib into low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma (LG-UTUC); IND cleared with U.S. FDA - - Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $274.9 million at Q3 2025; runway through at least 2027 - , /PRNewswire/ -- Tyra Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: TYRA), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing next-generation precision medicines that target large opportunities in Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR) biology, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and highlighted recent corporate progress. "Our focus remains on patients – those living with skeletal dysplasia and bladder cancer who need improved, precise options of care," said Todd Harris, Ph.D., CEO of TYRA. "Enrollment continues to progress across our BEACH301 and SURF302 Phase 2 studies, reflecting strong engagement from the clinical and patient communities. We are also expanding the Phase 2 development of dabogratinib into low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma, where FGFR3 alterations occur in approximately 85% of LG-UTUC cases, further reinforcing our commitment to addressing FGFR3-driven disorders." Dr. Harris continued, "We believe 2026 will be a pivotal year for TYRA. We expect to report interim Phase 2 results that could validate dabogratinib's broad potential across achondroplasia, IR-NMIBC and LG-UTUC." Third Quarter 2025 and Recent Corporate Highlights Dabogratinib (formerly TYRA-300) Dabogratinib is an oral investigational FGFR3-selective inhibitor being developed for the treatment of pediatric achondroplasia (ACH), low-grade intermediate risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (IR NMIBC) and LG-UTUC. TYRA previously reported interim clinical proof-of-concept results in metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) – dabogratinib demonstrated encouraging anti-tumor activity and was generally well-tolerated, with infrequent FGFR2- and FGFR1-associated toxicities. Enrolling Phase 2 ACH Study – BEACH301. BEACH301 is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation/dose-expansion study evaluating dabogratinib in children ages 3 to 10 with achondroplasia with open growth plates. The study is enrolling a safety sentinel cohort of at least 3 participants per dose level in children ages 5 to 10. The Company remains on track to report interim results from the safety sentinel cohort in 2H 2026. Enrolling Phase 2 NMIBC Study – SURF302. SURF302 is a Phase 2 open-label clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of dabogratinib in participants with FGFR3-altered low-grade IR NMIBC. The Company remains on track to report initial three-month complete response data in 1H 2026. Expanded Development into LG-UTUC – SURF303. TYRA advanced dabogratinib into LG-UTUC, where FGFR3 alterations occur in approximately 85% of cases. An Investigational New Drug application (IND) was cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to enable a Phase 2 study of dabogratinib in LG-UTUC patients (SURF303), which is expected to be initiated in 2026. Phase 1/2 mUC Study – SURF301. Dabogratinib continues to be evaluated in Part B of SURF301 at potentially therapeutic once-daily doses in support of determining an optimal dose for mUC. TYRA-430 Advanced Phase 1 HCC Study – SURF431. TYRA-430 is an oral, investigational FGFR4/3-biased inhibitor for FGF19+/FGFR4-driven cancers. The SURF431 study continues to enroll and dose adults with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and other solid tumors with activating FGF/FGFR pathway aberrations. We believe TYRA-430 has the potential to address a significant unmet need in HCC, where there are no approved biomarker-driven, targeted therapies. TYRA-200 Advanced Phase 1 ICC Study – SURF201. TYRA-200 is an FGFR1/2/3 inhibitor with potency against activating FGFR2 gene alterations and resistance mutations. The SURF201 study continues to enroll and dose adults with unresectable locally advanced/metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and other advanced solid tumors with activating FGFR2 gene alterations. SNÅP Platform and Pipeline TYRA continued to advance its in-house precision medicine discovery engine, SNÅP, used to develop therapies in targeted oncology and genetically defined conditions. Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments. As of September 30, 2025, TYRA had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $274.9 million. TYRA's current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are expected to allow TYRA to execute on its plans through at least 2027. Research and Development (R&D) Expenses. R&D expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $25.5 million compared to $22.7 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily associated with start-up and enrollment activities for BEACH301, SURF302 and SURF431. General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses. G&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $7.5 million compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher personnel-related costs, including non-cash stock-based compensation. Net Loss. Third quarter net loss was $29.9 million compared to $24.0 million for the same period in 2024. Upcoming Clinical Milestones: BEACH301: initial results from safety sentinel cohort – 2H 2026 SURF302: initial three-month complete response data – 1H 2026 SURF303: initiate Phase 2 study – 2026 About Dabogratinib (formerly TYRA-300) Dabogratinib is TYRA's lead precision medicine candidate stemming from its in-house SNÅP platform. Dabogratinib is an investigational, oral, FGFR3-selective inhibitor currently in development for the treatment of skeletal dysplasia and cancer that has demonstrated interim clinical proof-of-concept results in mUC. The current planned clinical development for dabogratinib includes Phase 2 clinical trials for pediatric achondroplasia (BEACH301), intermediate risk (IR) non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (SURF302), low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma (SURF303) and potentially future mUC clinical trials. The FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) and Rare Pediatric Disease (RPD) Designation to dabogratinib for the treatment of achondroplasia. BEACH301 is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation/dose-expansion study evaluating dabogratinib in children ages 3 to 10 with achondroplasia with open growth plates. The study will enroll children who are treatment-naïve (Cohort 1) and those who have received prior growth-accelerating therapy (Cohort 2) at multiple sites across the globe. Each of these cohorts is expected to enroll up to 10 participants per dose level (0.125, 0.25, 0.375, 0.50 mg/kg) for up to 12 months. The study is now enrolling a safety sentinel cohort of at least 3 participants per dose level in children ages 5 to 10. SURF302 is a Phase 2, open-label, clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of dabogratinib in participants with FGFR3-altered low-grade IR NMIBC. Participants will be randomized initially to treatment with dabogratinib at 50 mg once-daily (QD) (Cohort 1) or treatment with dabogratinib at 60 mg QD (Cohort 2). The primary endpoint is complete response (CR) rate at three months. Secondary endpoints include time to recurrence, median duration of response, recurrence free survival, progression free survival, safety and tolerability. SURF303 will be a Phase 2, open-label, clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of dabogratinib in participants with FGFR3-altered LG-UTUC. This study has not yet begun enrolling patients. About TYRA-430 TYRA-430 is an oral, investigational FGFR4/3-biased inhibitor for FGF19+/FGFR4-driven cancers. The Phase 1 clinical study (SURF431) is a multicenter, open-label, first-in-human study of TYRA-430 and is currently enrolling and dosing adults with advanced HCC and other solid tumors with activating FGF/FGFR pathway aberrations. About TYRA-200 TYRA-200 is an oral, investigational, FGFR1/2/3 inhibitor with potency against activating FGFR2 gene alterations and resistance mutations. The Phase 1 clinical study of TYRA-200, SURF201, is a multi-center, open label study designed to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended Phase 2 dose of TYRA-200, as well as to evaluate the preliminary antitumor activity of TYRA-200. SURF201 is currently enrolling and dosing adults with advanced/metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and other advanced solid tumors with activating alterations in FGFR2.
