(Nasdaq: LYRA), a clinical-stage therapeutics company leveraging its proprietary XTreo™ platform to enable precise, sustained, and local delivery of medications to the ear, nose and throat (ENT) passages and other diseased tissues, today announced the successful outcome of an End-of-Phase 2 (EOP2) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for LYR-210, its lead candidate for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Lyra and the FDA established key elements of the Phase 3 program to support a 505(b)(2) new drug application for LYR-210 for the treatment of CRS. The single primary endpoint will evaluate improvement at week 24 using a composite score of three cardinal symptoms (3CS) of CRS: nasal blockage, nasal discharge, and facial pain. Based on the Agency’s suggestion, Lyra intends to enroll a total of approximately 350 subjects split into two replicate, largely concurrent Phase 3 clinical trials, each powered to >95% to detect statistical significance. Both studies will evaluate a 7500µg dose of LYR-210, and additional key clinical aspects of the studies will also be the same. This Phase 3 program provides the opportunity for an earlier read-out in one study, and the flexibility to potentially include patients from recently-licensed territory in Asia in the second study, without materially increasing the estimated cost or duration of the pivotal program overall. Additional outcomes from the EOP2 meeting include that Lyra’s pharmacokinetic data and previously conducted non-clinical studies support a 505(b)(2) pathway, and that the Company’s CMC specifications and stability plans are sufficient to move forward. “We are extremely pleased with this single primary endpoint given that in the Phase 2 LANTERN study, LYR-210 showed a highly statistically significant improvement in the three cardinal symptoms versus control at 24 weeks,” said Robert Kern, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Lyra Therapeutics. “LYR-210, our novel, integrated drug and delivery solution has the potential to disrupt the treatment paradigm for the millions of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis who fail medical management and currently have no alternative to surgery.” “Following our successful End of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA, we believe that we have a clear path forward to advance LYR-210’s clinical development for the treatment of CRS. The design of our U.S. Phase 3 program, with two largely replicate concurrent studies, provides an opportunity to incorporate Chinese sites, which could support approval in the Asian territories,” said Maria Palasis, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Lyra Therapeutics. “We thank the FDA for a productive meeting to advance LYR-210’s pivotal development for the treatment of CRS and we look forward to initiating our Phase 3 program at the end of this year.” Conference Call Information Lyra will host a conference call and live webcast today, Tuesday, June 8, 2021, at 5:00 p.m. ET.

In April, the company presented the positive full data set from its LANTERN Phase 2 study of LYR-210 for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) at the COSM 2021 Virtual Event. The new data demonstrated that LYR-210 is effective in both non-polyp and polyp patients in a clinical trial with 100% of patients in both groups achieving SNOT-22 MCID at week 24 at 7500 µg. Further, LYR-210 decreased ethmoid opacification at week 24 as well as reduced patient need for rescue medication. Previously, Lyra announced positive topline from the data in December 2020. We expect that the results from Lyra’s LANTERN Phase 2 Study will be used to design a Phase 3 pivotal trial, subject to an End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA in the second quarter 2021. Tech transfer to Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) on Track. The company commenced our first manufacturing lot at our CMO to support the IND supplement and the commencement of our phase 3 clinical trial for LYR-210 around the end of the year. Appointed Robert Kern, MD, as Chief Medical Officer. In February, the company appointed Dr. Robert Kern as Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Kern is a highly regarded clinician and researcher in the field of sinonasal disorders. With more than 30 years of experience in the ENT medical field and currently serving as the George A. Sisson Professor and Chair, Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Dr. Kern is expected to be a valuable asset to the company as clinical trials progress for LYR-210 and LYR-220. “We were thrilled to present the full data set from our LANTERN Phase 2 Study of LYR-210 at the virtual COSM event, and to share data that we believe demonstrates how effective our product candidate is at treating chronic rhinosinusitis. Dr. Cervin did a wonderful job detailing the symptom improvements observed in both polyp and non-polyp patients, as well as revealing evidence of disease modification through patient’s improved bilateral ethmoid Zinreich scores,” said Maria Palasis, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Lyra Therapeutics. “Additionally, we announced a separate analysis of the LANTERN study that showed statistically significant improvement in a composite of three cardinal symptoms, which includes nasal blockage, nasal discharge and facial pain, that we believe could inform our design for a pivotal Phase 3 study.” Dr. Palasis continued: “Turning to the near term, we intend to share results from our PK study of LYR-210 in the second quarter, and to share feedback from our End-of Phase-2 meeting with the FDA around mid-year. Subject to guidance from the FDA, we then plan to initiate a Phase 2 trial for LYR-220 in the second half of 2021, and a Phase 3 trial of LYR-210 around the end of the year.” Financial Highlights Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021 were $66.1 million, compared with $74.6 million at December 31, 2020. Research and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were $4.8 million compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2020. General and administrative expenses for the first quarter 2021 were $3.1 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2020. Total operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were $7.8 million compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2020. Net loss for the first quarter was $7.8 million compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2020.

Lyra Therapeutics Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Financial Results, Provides Corporate Update
Lyra Therapeutics Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Financial Results, Provides Corporate Update

WATERTOWN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lyra Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: LYRA), a clinical-stage therapeutics company focused on the development and commercialization of novel integrated drug and delivery solutions for the localized treatment of patients with ear, nose and throat (ENT) diseases, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020 and provided a corporate update. Key Fourth Quarter 2020 and Subsequent Highlights Company Announced Positive Topline Results for LANTERN Phase 2 Study of LYR-210. In December, Lyra announced positive topline results from its LANTERN Phase 2 study of LYR-210 for the treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis, including: LYR-210 is the first nasal implant to achieve a benefit of up to six months after a single administration in a clinical testing, and the first nasal implant to achieve a benefit in both polyp and non-polyp patients in clinical testing. 7500 mcg dose achieved statistically significant improvement in both 4 Cardinal Symptoms and SNOT-22 scores at 24 weeks and at several earlier timepoints, compared to control. Lyra believes the results support a clear path to regulatory submission for LYR-210 and plans to move forward into a pivotal Phase 3 trial using the 7500 mcg dose, subject to an end of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA. LYR-210 is the first nasal implant to achieve a benefit of up to six months after a single administration in a clinical testing, and the first nasal implant to achieve a benefit in both polyp and non-polyp patients in clinical testing. 7500 mcg dose achieved statistically significant improvement in both 4 Cardinal Symptoms and SNOT-22 scores at 24 weeks and at several earlier timepoints, compared to control. Lyra believes the results support a clear path to regulatory submission for LYR-210 and plans to move forward into a pivotal Phase 3 trial using the 7500 mcg dose, subject to an end of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA. “The positive results from the LANTERN Phase 2 study point to LYR-210’s potential as an easily administered, six-month treatment for CRS patients who have failed medical management,” said Professor Anders Cervin, Garnett Passe and Rodney Williams Foundation Chair in Otolaryngology at the University of Queensland, and a Principal Investigator for Lyra’s LANTERN trial. “An intranasal implant, like LYR-210, ensures treatment compliance on the part of patients and efficiently delivers drug directly to inflamed tissue. Based on these results, I believe LYR-210 could represent a viable alternative to invasive nasal surgery for CRS patients, with as few as two ENT office visits a year.” Appointed Robert Kern, MD, Chief Medical Officer. In February, Lyra announced that Robert Kern, MD had been named the company’s Chief Medical Officer. In addition to his role at Lyra, Dr. Kern will remain in his current position as the George A. Sisson Professor and Chair, Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Dr. Kern is the immediate past president of the American Rhinologic Society and current President of the International Society of Inflammation and Allergy of the Nose. He is a renowned physician in the ENT field and a world-leading expert in chronic rhinosinusitis with a proven track record of global leadership in otolaryngology, in both academic research and clinical rhinology. Added Nancy L. Snyderman, M.D. to Board of Directors. In October, the company announced that Dr. Snyderman had joined Lyra Therapeutics board. Dr. Snyderman is an accomplished otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon and healthcare systems expert. She most recently served as Chief Medical Editor at NBC News and has more than three decades of experience as a leading voice in healthcare and medicine. Dr. Snyderman currently serves as a board member of Alkermes (NASDAQ: ALKS) and Axonics Modulation Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AXNX). “We were pleased to end our first calendar year as a public company by announcing positive topline data from our LANTERN Phase 2 Study for LYR-210. In addition, we recently strengthened our team with the additions of Dr. Kern to our management team and Dr. Snyderman to our board,” said Maria Palasis, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Lyra Therapeutics. “Looking ahead, 2021 should be another pivotal year for Lyra as we read out the data from our PK study and plan to conduct an end of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA for LYR-210, followed by the potential initiation of a Phase 2 study for LYR-220 in the second half, and a Phase 3 pivotal trial of LYR-210 at the end of the year. I look forward to updating you on our progress.” Financial Highlights Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 were $74.6 million, compared with $81.6 million as of September 30, 2020. Research and development expenses for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020 were $3.7 million and $12.5 million, respectively, compared to $3.0 million and $12.0 million for the same periods in 2019, respectively. General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020 were $3.3 million and $9.7 million, respectively, compared to $1.4 million and $4.5 million for the same periods in 2019, respectively. Total operating expenses for the quarter ended and full year ended December 31, 2020 were $7.1 million and $22.2 million, respectively, compared to $4.4 million and $16.5 million for the same periods in 2019, respectively.

(Nasdaq: LYRA), a clinical-stage therapeutics company focused on the development and commercialization of novel integrated drug and delivery solutions for the localized treatment of patients with ear, nose and throat (ENT) diseases, today announced positive topline results from the LANTERN Phase 2 study of LYR-210 for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The LANTERN study was a randomized, patient blinded, controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LYR-210 in adult patients with CRS, including patients with and without nasal polyps, who had not previously undergone sinus surgery. CRS is diagnosed when 2 or more of the 4 cardinal symptoms (4CS) of CRS (nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, facial pain/pressure, and reduction or loss of sense of smell) persist for 12 weeks or longer and when inflammation is confirmed via endoscopy or a CT scan. The multi-center study enrolled 67 patients at sites in Europe, New Zealand and Australia. Patients in the study were randomized 1:1:1 into three groups: 7500 mcg (21 patients) or 2500 mcg (23 patients) of continuous mometasone furoate therapy, or control (23 patients). LYR-210 is an investigational product candidate designed to be administered in-office, into the sinonasal passages, and to deliver a sustained release therapeutic up to six months at difficult-to-access nasal inflammation sites without the need for patient compliance, as a non-invasive alternative to surgery for patients who have failed medical management. Topline Results Although not statistically significant at week 4, at the 7500 mcg dose, LYR-210 achieved statistically significant improvement in a composite score of the 4CS of CRS in favor of the treatment arm at weeks 16 (-1.47) (p=0.021), 20 (-1.61) (p=0.012) and 24 (-1.64) (p=0.016). Furthermore, the 7500 mcg dose of LYR-210 achieved statistically significant improvement in SNOT-22 score in favor of the treatment arm at weeks 8 (-12.2) (p=0.039), 16 (-15.0) (p=0.008), 20 (-18.4) (p=0.001), and 24 (-19.0) (p=0.001). LYR-210 was observed to be safe and well-tolerated at all doses in the study, and no treatment-related serious adverse events were reported. Adverse events were generally mild to moderate in nature and in line with the known safety profile of mometasone furoate. “We are delighted to share this positive data from our LANTERN trial, which represents a major milestone for Lyra, and which shows the potential for LYR-210 to improve a composite of cardinal symptoms of CRS for up to 24 weeks. We believe this trial represents the first time a nasal implant has achieved six months of benefit for CRS patients via a single administration in clinical testing. These data are yet more remarkable given it was achieved during the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused us to curtail enrollment sooner than originally planned,” said Maria Palasis, PhD, CEO of Lyra Therapeutics. “Furthermore, the 4CS efficacy data is backed up by impressive SNOT-22 scores, supporting the potential pronounced treatment effect of LYR-210.” Maria Palasis continued: “Importantly, this is the first time that a drug-releasing nasal implant has been observed to improve symptoms in both non-polyp and polyp patients, and also marks the first time such an implant has exhibited a dose response, which we believe validates our underlying XTreo™ platform. We believe these results confirm our pathway to regulatory submission, and we will move forward quickly to initiate a Phase 3 study in CRS, subject to a planned end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA. In addition, we are continuing our development efforts for LYR-220, for CRS patients who have already undergone sinus surgery. I would like to thank everyone involved in the LANTERN study and look forward to updating you on our next steps as we seek to change the treatment paradigm for long-underserved CRS patients.” Other takeaways from the LANTERN study include: While a strong treatment effect was observed at week 4, the LANTERN study’s primary endpoint of change from baseline in a composite of 4CS scores at week 4 was not met at either dose (7500 mcg: (-0.36) (p=0.306); 2500 mcg: (0.04) (p=0.525)), we believe primarily due to curtailed enrollment resulting from COVID-19. Given the comparable safety profile of LYR-210 at both 2500 mcg and 7500 mcg doses, Lyra anticipates progressing the LYR-210 program at the 7500 mcg dose level. Full results from the LANTERN study will be submitted for future presentation at an upcoming scientific meeting. Based on these results Lyra plans to initiate a pivotal Phase 3 study for LYR-210 in chronic rhinosinusitis for both non-polyp and polyp patients. “The LANTERN study results are very exciting to those of us in the ENT community who are eager to embrace new treatment options for CRS, including alternatives to surgery. Based on my experience in Lyra’s Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies for LYR-210, I believe a drug-releasing nasal implant that may offer up to six months treatment would represent an important innovation for CRS patients,” said A/Prof Joanne Rimmer, an ENT surgeon and rhinologist at Monash Health, Associate Professor at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, and an investigator in the LANTERN study. “The in-office procedure of placing LYR-210 into a patient’s nose is straightforward, suggesting that LYR-210 may have the potential to improve quality of life for patients who have failed medical management while offering an alternative to invasive surgical procedures.” “CRS is a chronic, lifelong condition, and there continues to be a need for innovation for the millions of people suffering from this inflammatory disease. As such, the LANTERN results are very encouraging, particularly as there are currently no FDA-approved therapeutic treatments for CRS patients without nasal polyps, despite that patient population representing approximately 70-90% of all CRS patients,” said Robert Kern, MD, Chair of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, at Northwestern Medical Center and Professor of Otolaryngology at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern. “I believe this innovative long-acting investigational treatment has the potential to make a meaningfully positive impact on patients’ quality of life and offer an appealing alternative to invasive medical procedures.” Conference Call The company plans to host a conference call to discuss the results today at 8:30 am ET. Individuals interested in listening to the conference call may do so by dialing (833) 519 1249 for domestic callers, or (914) 800 3822 for international callers and reference conference ID: 5134448; or from the webcast link in the investor relations section of the company’s website at: www.lyratherapeutics.com. The live webcast can be accessed here and will be available in the investor relations section on the company's website for 30 days following the completion of the call. In light of reduced call center resources during this time of required social-distancing, Lyra requests that listeners who do not plan on participating in the question and answer session listen to the live webcast rather than dialing in by phone. LANTERN Phase 2 Trial Design The Phase 2 LANTERN study was conducted in 67 adult patients with CRS, including patients with and without nasal polyps who had not undergone sinus surgery. Patients in the study were randomized 1:1:1 into three groups to receive in-office bilateral nasal administration of either one of two long-acting dose levels of LYR-210, 7500 mcg (21 patients) or 2500 mcg (23 patients) of continuous anti-inflammatory drug therapy, mometasone furoate, or control (23 patients). The multi-center study was conducted at sites in Europe, New Zealand and Australia. The trial was originally designed to enroll 99 evaluable patients with the potential to increase to up to 150 patients and was initiated in May 2019. However, in light of developments relating to the COVID-19 global pandemic we discontinued enrollment at 67 patients in our Phase 2 LANTERN clinical trial. As a result of the decrease in the number of patients enrolled from planned (99) to actually enrolled (67) patients in our Phase 2 LANTERN clinical trial, a greater magnitude of change in composite score of the seven-day average of four cardinal symptoms from baseline at week 4 and/or a smaller standard deviation associated with the change from baseline at week 4 was required in order for the trial to achieve statistical significance for the primary endpoint.

Lyra Therapeutics Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
Lyra Therapeutics Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

WATERTOWN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lyra Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: LYRA), a clinical-stage therapeutics company focused on the development and commercialization of novel integrated drug and delivery solutions for the localized treatment of patients with ear, nose and throat (ENT) diseases, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and provided a corporate update. Key Third Quarter 2020 and Subsequent Highlights Company On Track to Report Topline Phase 2 Results for LYR-210 in the Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis. Despite the challenges that COVID-19 has posed for the biotechnology community more generally, Lyra Therapeutics is pleased to report that it remains on track to announce topline Phase 2 results from its LANTERN study of LYR-210 in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in December. Appointed Nancy L. Snyderman to Board of Directors. In October, the company announced that Dr. Snyderman joined the Lyra Therapeutics board. Dr. Snyderman is an accomplished Otolaryngologist-Head and Neck Surgeon and healthcare systems expert. She most recently served as Chief Medical Editor at NBC News and has more than three decades of experience as a leading voice in healthcare and medicine. Dr. Snyderman currently serves as a board member of Alkermes (NASDAQ: ALKS) and Axonics Modulation Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AXNX). Presented Clinical Data at the 66th Annual Meeting of the American Rhinologic Society (ARS) Demonstrating LYR-210’s Local Anti-Inflammatory Effects for the Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis. In September, Lyra presented data showing that LYR-210 demonstrated a significant reduction of sinonasal Type 2 inflammation in surgically naïve patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The reduction of Type 2 inflammation suggested a correlation with rhinologic symptom improvement in CRS and could be a potential measure of LYR-210’s local anti-inflammatory effects at the site of inflammation in the sinonasal passages. The results showing LYR-210’s influence on local Type 2 inflammatory response in CRS patients were secondary findings from the company’s Phase 1 clinical study of LYR-210. “Having completed our IPO in the second quarter, we were fully focused in the third quarter on executing our development plans for LYR-210 and LYR-220. I’m pleased to report that we are on track to deliver topline Phase 2 results from our LANTERN study in December, which we believe will be an important milestone for the company and shareholders alike,” said Maria Palasis, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Lyra Therapeutics. “We have also continued to build awareness about LYR-210 throughout the scientific and medical communities, with ongoing outreach and three presentations at the ARS Annual Meeting. In addition, I am delighted to welcome Dr. Nancy Snyderman to our board. Nancy has a deep understanding of the value of medical innovation as well as the barriers that must be overcome in order to bring new therapies to ENT physicians and patients and will bring a valuable perspective to Lyra.” Financial Highlights Cash, cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020 were $81.6 million, compared with $86.6 million as of June 30, 2020. Research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 were $3.7 million compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2019. General and administrative expenses for the third quarter 2020 were $2.7 million compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2019. Total operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 were $6.4 million compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2019. Net loss for the third quarter was $6.3 million compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2019. In terms of financial guidance, Lyra believes its current cash position is sufficient to fund the company through a planned Phase 3 study of LYR-210 in chronic rhinosinusitis. Additionally, the company projects its year-end 2020 cash balance will be in the range of $67-70 million.

Concurrent with Dr. Snyderman joining Lyra’s board, the company is announcing that Bob Langer, Ph.D. and George Whitesides, Ph.D., will be stepping down as directors of the company and transitioning to Lyra’s newly formed Scientific Advisory Board. Maria Palasis commented: “On behalf of the board and Lyra’s executive team, I would like to thank Bob and George for the many years of service they have provided to the company as board directors, and I look forward to their continued leadership as scientific advisors to Lyra.” About Lyra Therapeutics, Inc. Lyra Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage therapeutics company focused on the development and commercialization of novel integrated drug and delivery solutions for the localized treatment of patients with ear, nose and throat diseases. The company’s proprietary technology platform, XTreo™, is designed to precisely and consistently deliver medicines directly to the affected tissue for sustained periods with a single administration. The company’s initial product candidates, LYR-210 and LYR-220, are bioresorbable polymeric matrices designed to be administered in a brief, non-invasive, in-office procedure and intended to deliver up to six months of continuous drug therapy to the sinonasal passages for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The therapeutic embedded within LYR-210 and LYR-220 is mometasone furoate, which is the active ingredient in various FDA-approved drugs and has a well-established efficacy and safety profile. CRS is an inflammatory disease of the paranasal sinuses which leads to debilitating symptoms and significant morbidities and affects approximately 14 million people in the United States. The company is advancing LYR-210 as a potential preferred alternative to surgery in an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial for CRS patients who have failed medical management. In its Phase 1 clinical trial, LYR-210 met its primary safety endpoint, and it was observed that patients generally experienced significant and rapid, clinically meaningful and durable improvement in SNOT-22 scores, an established patient symptom severity scale, through week 25, which was the end of the trial. The company is also developing LYR-220 for use in CRS patients who have an enlarged nasal cavity due to sinus surgery but continue to require treatment to manage CRS symptoms. Beyond CRS, the company believes its XTreo™ platform has potential applications in other disease areas, which it is actively exploring to further broaden the platform’s therapeutic potential.
