Achondroplasia

First Quarter 2025 Total Revenues of $745 million (+15% Y/Y and +17% at Constant Currency Y/Y) First Quarter 2025 GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $0.95 (+107% Y/Y) First Quarter 2025 Non-GAAP Diluted EPS of $1.13 (+59% Y/Y) Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled Today at 4:30 p.m. ET SAN RAFAEL, Calif., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. "During the first quarter, we saw continued high demand for our innovative medicines resulting in strong revenue growth and profitability," said Alexander Hardy, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. "Products in our pipeline also advanced according to plan. In April, we shared positive top-line results from the Phase 3 PALYNZIQ® study for the treatment of adolescents with phenylketonuria between the ages of 12 and 17. Also in April, we were pleased to conclude enrollment in the pivotal study in hypochondroplasia with VOXZOGO, keeping us on track to launch in 2027, should data be supportive." Mr. Hardy continued, "For the remainder of 2025, we look forward to continued momentum in our global expansion of VOXZOGO® for achondroplasia. Across our Enzyme Therapies, we plan to build upon strong PALYNZIQ performance in the quarter, as well as initiatives to drive uptake of our other therapies to reach an even greater number of patients around the world. In addition to our strong financial outlook, we expect to advance multiple new indications with VOXZOGO in our CANOPY clinical program, share early clinical results from both BMN 351 for Duchenne Muscular dystrophy and BMN 333, our long-acting C-type natriuretic peptide, as well as execute on our business development strategy. We are delivering strong growth and profitability while we continue to implement BioMarin's new strategy and operating model. We look forward to seeing the benefits of this transformation flow through our results in the coming quarters and beyond." First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights Total Revenues for the first quarter of 2025 were $745 million, an increase of 15% compared to the same period in 2024, driven by strong 40% year-over-year VOXZOGO revenue growth from new patients initiating therapy across all regions. In the quarter, revenues from BioMarin's Enzyme Therapies (ALDURAZYME®, BRINEURA®, NAGLAZYME®, PALYNZIQ and VIMIZIM®) increased 8% compared to the first quarter of 2024, driven by a combination of increased patient demand and the timing of large government orders in all regions. The increase was partially offset by lower KUVAN® product revenues attributed to continued generic competition as a result of the loss of market exclusivity. GAAP Net Incom e increased by $97 million to $186 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, an increase of 109%, primarily attributed to higher gross profit driven by the factors noted above. The increase was also attributed to lower operating expenses following the termination of certain early stage development programs following the company's 2024 strategic portfolio review and focused ROCTAVIAN strategy announced in the second half of 2024. These increases were partially offset by higher tax provision primarily due to increase in taxable income. Non-GAAP Income increased by $81 million to $221 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, representing 58% growth. The increase in Non-GAAP Income was primarily due to the factors noted above. First Quarter 2025 Business Highlights Innovation Skeletal Conditions: In March 2025, BioMarin presented new data demonstrating favorable safety and strong adherence in real-world clinical practice with VOXZOGO in children with achondroplasia under the age of 3 years old at the 2025 American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) Annual Meeting. No treatment-related adverse events nor any dose interruptions were reported among 63 children followed for up to 23.7 months. These real-world findings further validate VOXZOGO's established safety profile and reinforce the therapeutic benefit seen in clinical studies. The study's safety results, including in infants as young as 1 month old, add to the growing body of evidence supporting early treatment initiation with VOXZOGO, consistent with new international treatment guidelines published in the journal Nature Reviews Endocrinology earlier this year. In April 2025, BioMarin completed enrollment in its pivotal Phase 3 study with VOXZOGO in hypochondroplasia and the company is on track to share topline data in 2026, with a potential launch in 2027. BioMarin plans to leverage its multiyear track record treating children with achondroplasia, a related condition, to raise awareness and treat children with hypochondroplasia across the globe. The CANOPY clinical program is continuing to advance VOXZOGO in additional new indications, including idiopathic short stature, Noonan syndrome, Turner syndrome, and SHOX deficiency. With BMN 333, BioMarin's long-acting C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), the company enrolled multiple cohorts of healthy volunteers in its first-in-human study, with initial pharmacokinetic (PK) data expected by year-end. Detailed data from this study is expected to be presented at a scientific forum in the first half of 2026. Pre-clinical data with BMN 333 demonstrated sustained 100 pM concentrations for free CNP, representing an approximate 2-3 fold increase versus published data in an analogous pre-clinical model for other long-acting CNP analogs. Additionally, BioMarin recently met with FDA and reached agreement on an overall clinical development plan for BMN 333 in achondroplasia. Assuming the Phase 1 data are supportive, the company plans to initiate a registration-enabling study in 2026, supporting a previously disclosed target for 2030 approval. BioMarin plans to seek similar agreements with additional global regulators in the coming months. The company announced in April that its pivotal study with PALYNZIQ for the treatment of adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 met its primary efficacy endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant lowering in blood Phe levels. These data will support the planned submission of applications in the second half of 2025 to expand PALYNZIQ age eligibility in the United States and Europe. Other Clinical Pipeline Programs: BMN 351, BioMarin's next generation oligonucleotide for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and BMN 349, an oral therapeutic for Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD)-associated liver disease, continue to advance. Initial data for BMN 351 is anticipated to be presented at a scientific congress in the second half of 2025 (including muscle dystrophin levels from the 6 mg/kg cohort after 25 weeks of dosing). During a recent strategic portfolio assessment of R&D programs, BioMarin determined that the evolving profile for BMN 370, a pre-clinical candidate for the treatment of von Willebrand disease, did not meet its threshold for further development and commercialization. The program has been discontinued and impacted employees have been redeployed within BioMarin. Growth Total VOXZOGO revenue in the first quarter increased 40% compared to the same period in 2024, representing continued strong global demand since its commercial launch in 2021. As of the end of the quarter, children with achondroplasia in 49 countries around the world were being treated with VOXZOGO. In the U.S., BioMarin is investing in focused initiatives to drive continued expansion. These efforts include increasing field personnel to broaden the prescriber base and adding awareness platforms to drive adoption of VOXZOGO treatment. This is expected to begin increasing the rate of U.S. expansion in the second half of the year. Outside of the U.S. (OUS), from where the majority of VOXZOGO revenue is generated, uneven ordering patterns, consistent with BioMarin's other brands, were observed. This OUS dynamic is expected to result in VOXZOGO full-year revenues being more weighted towards the second half of 2025. Enzyme Therapies revenues grew 8% in the first quarter Y/Y, driven by strong continued demand for PALYNZIQ. Strong PALYNZIQ performance as well as solid growth from BioMarin's other enzyme treatments are expected to continue throughout 2025. Value Commitment In the first quarter of 2025, BioMarin delivered strong results across the business. Total revenues for the first quarter grew 15% Y/Y. First quarter GAAP Operating Margin of 30.0% expanded 16.4 percentage points Y/Y while GAAP Diluted EPS of $0.95 increased 107% Y/Y. First quarter Non-GAAP Operating Margin of 35.7% expanded 11.9 percentage points Y/Y while Non-GAAP Diluted EPS of $1.13 increased 59% Y/Y. These measures of profitability increased at rates faster than revenue growth, representing the company's focus on operational efficiency. During the quarter, BioMarin continued to realize the benefits of cost transformation initiatives implemented in 2024, resulting in a decrease in GAAP and Non-GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses Y/Y. Throughout the remainder of 2025, BioMarin expects to increase investments in VOXZOGO indication expansion, clinical pipeline development, and commercialization initiatives supporting the company's Skeletal Conditions and Enzyme Therapies business units. The company generated operating cash flows totaling $174 million in first quarter 2025, an increase of 271% compared to first quarter 2024. Total cash and investments at the end of the first quarter were approximately $1.8 billion, and with anticipated increasing profitability, BioMarin is positioned to generate increasing operating cash flow into the future. Today, the company reaffirmed its previously communicated 2025 full-year financial guidance, which reflects the impact of tariffs that have already been enacted but does not reflect the impact of potential future pharmaceutical tariffs. BioMarin has immaterial exposure to U.S. tariffs for China, Mexico and Canada across its global supply chain operations and product sales. Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Information BioMarin does not provide guidance for GAAP reported financial measures (other than revenue) or a reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP reported financial measures because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the financial impact of changes resulting from its strategic portfolio and business operating model reviews; potential future asset impairments; gains and losses on investments; and other unusual gains and losses without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period. As such, any reconciliations provided would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors. 2025 Full-Year Financial Guidance (in millions, except % and EPS amounts) BioMarin will host a conference call and webcast to discuss first quarter 2025 financial results today, Thursday, May 1, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Non-GAAP Information The results presented in this press release include both GAAP information and Non-GAAP information. Non-GAAP Income is defined by the company as GAAP Net Income excluding amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and, in certain periods, certain other specified items, as detailed below when applicable. The company also includes a Non-GAAP adjustment for the estimated tax impact of the reconciling items. Non-GAAP R&D expenses and Non-GAAP SG&A expenses are defined by the company as GAAP R&D expenses and GAAP SG&A expenses, respectively, excluding stock-based compensation expense and, in certain periods, certain other specified items, as detailed below when applicable. Non-GAAP Operating Margin percentage is defined by the company as GAAP Income from Operations, excluding amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and, in certain periods, certain other specified items, divided by GAAP Total Revenues. Non-GAAP Diluted EPS is defined by the company as Non-GAAP Income divided by Non-GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding. Non-GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding is defined by the company as GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding, adjusted to include any common shares issuable under the company's equity plans and convertible debt in periods when they are dilutive under Non-GAAP. The company's presentation of percentage changes in total revenues at Constant Currency rates, which is computed using current period local currency sales at the prior period's foreign exchange rates, is also a Non-GAAP financial measure. This measure provides information about growth (or declines) in the company's total revenue as if foreign currency exchange rates had not changed between the prior period and the current period. BioMarin regularly uses both GAAP and Non-GAAP results and expectations internally to assess its financial operating performance and evaluate key business decisions related to its principal business activities: the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing and sale of innovative biologic therapies. Because Non-GAAP Income, Non-GAAP R&D expenses, Non-GAAP SG&A expenses, Non-GAAP Operating Margin percentage, Non-GAAP Diluted EPS, Non-GAAP Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding and Constant Currency are important internal measurements for BioMarin, the company believes that providing this information in conjunction with BioMarin's GAAP information enhances investors' and analysts' ability to meaningfully compare the company's results from period to period and to its forward-looking guidance, and to identify operating trends in the company's principal business. BioMarin also uses Non-GAAP Income internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and to make operating decisions, and compensation of executives is based in part on this measure. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors should note that the Non-GAAP information is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and does not reflect all of the amounts associated with the company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors should also note that these Non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that the company may exclude for purposes of its Non-GAAP financial measures; likewise, the company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its Non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions, the Non-GAAP financial measure as used by BioMarin in this press release and the accompanying tables may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

— Data demonstrated multiple clinical benefits beyond linear growth —  NDA supported by data from three randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials in children with achondroplasia, with up to three years of open-label extension data —  MAA in EU on track for submission during Q3 2025 COPENHAGEN, Denmark I March 31, 2025 I Ascendis Pharma A/S (Nasdaq: ASND) today announced that it has submitted its New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for TransCon CNP (navepegritide) for the treatment of children with achondroplasia. TransCon CNP is an investigational prodrug of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) administered once weekly and designed to treat individuals with achondroplasia by providing continuous exposure of active CNP to receptors on tissues throughout the body, including growth plates and skeletal muscle. The filing is based on data from three randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials and up to three years of open-label extension data, including results from the pivotal ApproaCH Trial of children with achondroplasia. “We are pleased to share clinical data with the FDA demonstrating that, in addition to increased growth velocity, treatment with TransCon CNP was associated with reduced health-related burden, stronger muscle function, and straightening of abnormal leg bowing for the majority of treated children,” said Aimee Shu, M.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Ascendis Pharma. “In addition to once-weekly administration, these outcomes and a safety and tolerability profile comparable to placebo support TransCon CNP’s potential to be recognized as a best-in-class treatment for achondroplasia.” Ascendis is on track to submit its Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) during Q3 2025. About Achondroplasia Achondroplasia is a rare genetic condition arising from a systemic fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) variant that leads to an imbalance in the effects of the FGFR3 and CNP signaling pathways, estimated to affect more than 250,000 people worldwide. While historically considered a bone growth disorder, the FGFR3 variant seen in achondroplasia is expressed in tissues throughout the body, causing serious muscular, neurological, and cardiorespiratory complications in addition to skeletal dysplasia. Medical complications of achondroplasia vary across different stages of life. Throughout infancy and childhood, observed complications include spinal deformities, enlarged brain ventricles, impaired muscle strength and stamina, hearing deficits and chronic ear infections, upper airway obstructions, sleep-disordered breathing, hip problems, leg bowing, and chronic pain; many of these persist or worsen in adulthood. These medical complications can have detrimental effects on quality of life, physical functioning, and psychosocial function. Individuals with achondroplasia often require multiple surgeries and procedures to alleviate the condition’s many complications. About Ascendis Pharma A/S Ascendis Pharma is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on applying our innovative TransCon technology platform to make a meaningful difference for patients. Guided by our core values of Patients, Science, and Passion, and following our algorithm for product innovation, we apply TransCon to develop new therapies that demonstrate best-in-class potential to address unmet medical needs.

- Three INDs cleared by US FDA for TYRA's proprietary precision small molecules - - TYRA-300 to be evaluated in three Phase 2 studies: SURF302 for Intermediate Risk Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (IR NMIBC), BEACH301 for pediatric achondroplasia (ACH) and SURF301 for metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) - - Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $341.4 million at YE 2024; runway through at least 2027 - CARLSBAD, Calif., March 27, 2025 /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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024, and highlighted recent corporate progress. "2024 was a momentous year for TYRA and the patient communities we serve, highlighted by the positive interim results from our SURF301 study, which demonstrated a combination of high anti-tumor activity with favorable tolerability results in very sick, heavily pre-treated cancer patients. Importantly, the oncology doses tested in SURF301 are significantly higher than those to be tested in BEACH301, giving us confidence as we advance TYRA-300 in ACH," said Todd Harris, CEO of TYRA. "Our conviction in TYRA-300 has never been stronger and we are working diligently to advance this potential best-in-class agent for multiple high-value indications in oncology and skeletal dysplasia into three Phase 2 studies in NMIBC, ACH and mUC." Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 and Recent Corporate Highlights TYRA-300 Advanced Clinical Evaluation of TYRA-300 into Three Phase 2 Studies. During 2024, TYRA progressed TYRA-300, an oral, investigational FGFR3-selective inhibitor, for the treatment of IR NMIBC, mUC and ACH, and achieved the following milestones: Cleared Phase 2 NMIBC IND with US FDA – SURF302. TYRA expanded the clinical development of TYRA-300 into NMIBC to address the unmet needs in this cancer population for an efficacious, orally available therapy. SURF302 is an open-label Phase 2 clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of TYRA-300 in participants with FGFR3-altered low-grade, IR NMIBC. The study will enroll up to 90 participants at multiple sites primarily in the United States. Participants will be randomized initially to treatment with TYRA-300 at 50 mg once-daily (QD) (Cohort 1) or treatment with TYRA-300 at 60 mg QD (Cohort 2). Following a review of efficacy and safety, an additional dosing cohort may be evaluated. The primary endpoint is complete response (CR) rate at three months. Secondary endpoints include time to recurrence, the median duration of response, recurrence free survival (RFS), progression free survival (PFS), safety and tolerability. Cleared Phase 2 ACH IND with US FDA - BEACH301. The study is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation/dose-expansion study evaluating TYRA-300 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 will initially enroll a safety sentinel cohort of up to 3 treatment-naïve participants per dose level in children ages 5 to 10. Reported Interim Clinical Proof-of-Concept Results in mUC Patients – SURF301. TYRA-300 demonstrated encouraging preliminary anti-tumor activity in a heavily pre-treated population: at ≥ 90 mg QD, 6 out of 11 (54.5%) patients with FGFR3+ mUC achieved a confirmed partial response (PR), with 100% disease control rate and sustained duration of activity; positive safety results were reported across all QD doses, with infrequent FGFR2/FGFR1-associated toxicities (data cutoff of August 15, 2024). TYRA-300 is being evaluated in Part B of SURF301 (NCT05544552) at potentially therapeutic QD doses in preparation for potential future Phase 2 studies. TYRA-200 Advanced Phase 1 SURF201 Study. TYRA-200 is an FGFR1/2/3 inhibitor with potency against activating FGFR2 gene alterations and resistance mutations. SURF201 (Study in PrevioUsly treated and Resistant FGFR2+ Cholangiocarcinoma and Other Advanced Solid Tumors) (NCT06160752) is a multi-center, open label study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of TYRA-200 and determine the optimal and maximum tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 dose, as well as evaluate the preliminary antitumor activity of TYRA-200. The SURF201 study is currently enrolling and dosing adults with unresectable locally advanced/metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and other advanced solid tumors with activating FGFR2 gene alterations. TYRA-430 Cleared Phase 1 IND with US FDA – SURF431. TYRA-430 is an oral, investigational FGFR4/3-biased inhibitor for FGF19+/FGFR4-driven cancers. The Phase 1 study will be a multicenter, open-label, first-in-human study of TYRA-430 in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and other solid tumors with activating FGF/FGFR pathway aberrations (SURF431). We believe TYRA-430 has the potential to address a significant unmet need in HCC, where there are no approved biomarker-driven, targeted therapies. Corporate Strengthened Leadership Team and Board of Directors. In 2024, TYRA appointed Doug Warner, MD, as Chief Medical Officer, and Erik Goluboff, MD, as SVP, Clinical Development to lead the Company's oncology strategy and clinical development plans. In 2025, TYRA appointed accomplished drug developer Adele Gulfo to its Board of Directors, Sinette Heys as SVP, Clinical Operations to lead the Company's clinical operations team, and Will Charlton, MD, as SVP, Clinical Development to lead the Company's skeletal dysplasia clinical development group. SNÅP Platform and Pipeline TYRA continued to advance its in-house precision medicine discovery engine, SNÅP, to develop therapies in targeted oncology and genetically defined conditions. Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Financial Results Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments. As of December 31, 2024, TYRA had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $341.4 million, compared to $203.5 million at the end of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the completion of a private placement financing for net proceeds of $199.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. The Company'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. Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $22.2 million compared to $20.7 million for the same period in 2023, and $80.1 million for the full year 2024 compared to $62.5 million for the same period in 2023. The increases were primarily driven by increased expenses incurred in connection with our ongoing and planned clinical trials and personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, partially offset by decreased drug manufacturing and preclinical costs. General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $7.6 million compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2023, and $24.1 million for the full year 2024 compared to $17.4 million for the same period in 2023. The increases were primarily driven by increased personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation. Net Loss. Fourth quarter 2024 net loss was $25.6 million compared to $22.8 million for the same period in 2023, and $86.5 million for the full year 2024 compared to $69.1 million for the same period in 2023.

In mUC, TYRA-300 is being evaluated in a multi-center, open label Phase 1/2 clinical study, SURF301 (Study in Untreated and Resistant FGFR3+ Advanced Solid Tumors) (NCT05544552). The study is designed to determine the optimal and the recommended Phase 2 dose of TYRA-300, as well as to evaluate the preliminary antitumor activity of TYRA-300. In October 2024, TYRA reported interim clinical proof-of-concept data in mUC from SURF301. TYRA has received IND clearance from the US FDA to proceed with its SURF302 clinical trial in patients with IR NMIBC. In skeletal dysplasia, TYRA-300 has demonstrated positive preclinical results in achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia, and its BEACH301 clinical trial in children with achondroplasia is now recruiting. 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 (Study in PrevioUsly treated and Resistant FGFR2+ Cholangiocarcinoma and Other Advanced Solid Tumors) (NCT06160752), is a multi-center, open label study designed to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) 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. About TYRA-430 TYRA-430 is an oral, investigational FGFR4/3-biased inhibitor for FGF19+/FGFR4-driven cancers. The US FDA has cleared Tyra's IND to proceed with a Phase 1 clinical study of TYRA-430. The Phase 1 study will be a multicenter, open-label, first-in-human study of TYRA-430 in advanced HCC and other solid tumors with activating FGF/FGFR pathway aberrations (SURF431). About Tyra Biosciences Tyra Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: TYRA) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing next-generation precision medicines that target large opportunities in FGFR biology. The Company's in-house precision medicine platform, SNÅP, enables rapid and precise drug design through iterative molecular SNÅPshots that help predict genetic alterations most likely to cause acquired resistance to existing therapies. TYRA's expertise in FGFR biology has created a differentiated pipeline with three product candidates in clinical development in targeted oncology and genetically defined conditions. The Company's lead precision medicine stemming from SNÅP, TYRA-300, is a potential first-in-class selective FGFR3 inhibitor that is designed to avoid the toxicities associated with inhibition of FGFR1, FGFR2 and FGFR4, while being agnostic for the FGFR3 gatekeeper mutations. TYRA-300 is expected to be evaluated in three Phase 2 studies: SURF302 for IR NMIBC, BEACH301 for pediatric achondroplasia and SURF301 for metastatic urothelial cancer. TYRA is also developing TYRA-200, an oral, investigational, FGFR1/2/3 inhibitor, in the SURF201 study for metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and TYRA-430, an oral, investigational FGFR4/3-biased inhibitor for FGF19+/FGFR4-driven cancers. TYRA is based in Carlsbad, CA. For more information about our science, pipeline and people, please visit and engage with us on LinkedIn. Forward-Looking Statements TYRA cautions you that statements contained in this press release regarding matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and include, but are not limited to: the expected advancement of our pipeline and our growth; the potential to develop next-generation precision medicines and their potential to be first-in-class and/or best-in-class; the potential safety and therapeutic benefits of, and market opportunities for, our product candidates; the expected trial design, timing and phase of development of our product candidates, including timing for patient dosing; the potential for SNÅP to develop therapies; and our expected cash runway. Actual results may differ from those set forth in this press release due to the risks and uncertainties inherent in our business, including, without limitation: interim results of a clinical trial are not necessarily indicative of final results and one or more of the clinical outcomes may materially change as patient enrollment continues, following more comprehensive reviews of the data, as follow-up on the outcome of any particular patient continues and as more patient or final data becomes available, including the risk that unconfirmed responses may not ultimately result in confirmed responses to treatment after follow-up evaluations; the potential for proof-of-concept results to fail to result in successful subsequent development of TYRA-300; later developments with the FDA may be inconsistent with prior feedback from the FDA; we are early in our development efforts, and the approach we are taking to discover and develop drugs based on our SNÅP platform is novel and unproven and it may never lead to product candidates that are successful in clinical development or approved products of commercial value; potential delays in the commencement, recruitment, enrollment, data readouts and completion of preclinical studies and clinical trials; results from preclinical studies or early clinical trials not necessarily being predictive of future results; our dependence on third parties in connection with manufacturing, research and preclinical testing; we may expend our limited resources to pursue a particular product candidate and/or indication and fail to capitalize on product candidates or indications with greater development or commercial potential; acceptance by the FDA of INDs or of similar regulatory submissions by comparable foreign regulatory authorities for the conduct of clinical trials of our product candidates; an accelerated development or approval pathway may not be available for TYRA-300 or other product candidates and any such pathway may not lead to a faster development process; unexpected adverse side effects or inadequate efficacy of our product candidates that may limit their development, regulatory approval, and/or commercialization; the potential for our programs and prospects to be negatively impacted by developments relating to our competitors, including the results of studies or regulatory determinations relating to our competitors; unfavorable results from preclinical studies; regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries; our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our product candidates and proprietary technologies; we may use our capital resources sooner than we expect; unstable market and economic conditions may adversely affect our business and financial condition and the broader economy and biotechnology industry; and other risks described in our prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including under the heading "Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent filings with the SEC. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date hereof.
