Current report
PBH is a condition that affects about 160,000 people in the U.S., or approximately 8% of those in the U.S. who have undergone the two most common types of bariatric surgery: sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, or RYGB surgery. Currently, there are no FDA-approved therapies for PBH. PBH is thought to be caused by an excessive GLP-1 response, leading to hypoglycemia and impaired quality of life. Clinical manifestations can include impaired cognition, loss of consciousness, and seizures. Avexitide is designed to bind to the GLP-1 receptor on pancreatic islet beta cells and inhibit the effects of excessive GLP-1 in PBH, mitigating hypoglycemia by decreasing insulin secretion and stabilizing blood glucose levels.
Current report
In addition, new exploratory analyses from the Phase 2 PREVENT and Phase 2b clinical trials of avexitide were presented at the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in July 2025. In the Phase 2b trial, avexitide 90 mg once daily, the dose being evaluated in the pivotal Phase 3 LUCIDITY trial, led to a 64% least-squares mean reduction (p=0.0031) vs. baseline in the composite rate of Level 2 and Level 3 hypoglycemic events in PBH, with more than half of the participants experiencing no events during the treatment period. Consistent reductions in composite rate of Level 2 and Level 3 hypoglycemic events also were seen with avexitide 45 mg twice daily studied in the Phase 2b trial and avexitide 30 mg twice daily and 60 mg once daily studied in the Phase 2 PREVENT trial. New PK and pharmacodynamic, or PD, data were also presented, demonstrating continuous pharmacologic activity of the 90 mg once daily dose regimen for a 24-hour period.
Current report
Treatment with AMX0035 at Week 24 and at Week 48 also showed sustained improvements or stabilization in glycemic control, as measured by hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and time in target glucose range assessed by continuous glucose monitoring, as well as visual acuity. All participants with available measurements met the responder criteria, defined as either improvement or no change, on both the Patient Global Impression of Change and Clinician Global Impression of Change at Weeks 24 and 48, indicating stability or improvement in their Wolfram syndrome-related symptoms. Results from qualitative on-study interviews further supported the potential positive impact of AMX0035 on symptom burden. Safety data were consistent with safety data from prior studies of AMX0035. All AEs were mild or moderate, and there were no serious AEs related to AMX0035 treatment. The analysis performed at Week 24 included 11 participants in the Per Protocol population with genetically confirmed Wolfram syndrome (one participant was excluded from the Per Protocol population due to not meeting the study inclusion criteria of genetically confirmed Wolfram syndrome) and 12 participants in the Intent-to-Treat population. Long-term data at Week 48 included 10 participants in the Per Protocol population with genetically confirmed Wolfram syndrome and 11 participants in the Intent-to-Treat population. One participant discontinued between Week 24 and Week 48 for reasons unrelated to safety. These data and discussions with the FDA will inform the design of a Phase 3 trial of AMX0035 in Wolfram syndrome.
Current report
Research and development expenses were $27.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $23.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $7.1 million increase in expenses related to the pivotal Phase 3 LUCIDITY clinical trial for avexitide in PBH, a $3.6 million increase in expenses related to AMX0035 for the treatment of PSP and a $1.7 million increase in expenses related to other research and development activities. The increase was partially offset by a $8.6 million decrease in spending on AMX0035 for the treatment of ALS following the topline data from the PHOENIX trial.

Previous report
In PBH, an indication with no currently approved treatment options impacting approximately 160,000 people in the U.S., excessive GLP-1 can lead to the hypersecretion of insulin and subsequent persistent, recurrent, and debilitating hypoglycemic events, including autonomic and neuroglycopenic symptoms if left unaddressed. Avexitide is designed to bind to the GLP-1 receptor on pancreatic islet beta cells, inhibiting the effect of GLP-1 to mitigate hypoglycemia by decreasing insulin secretion and stabilizing blood glucose levels.

In February 2025, we started recruiting for the pivotal Phase 3 LUCIDITY clinical trial for avexitide in PBH. LUCIDITY (NCT06747468) is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 16-week clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of avexitide in participants with PBH following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, or RYGB surgery. The Phase 3 trial is being conducted at approximately 20 sites in the U.S. Approximately 75 participants will be randomized 3:2 to receive either 90 mg of avexitide subcutaneously once daily or placebo. Participants who complete the 16-week double-blind period of the ongoing study will be eligible to enter an open-label extension, or OLE, period with a duration of 32 weeks. The primary efficacy objective of LUCIDITY is to evaluate the FDA-agreed primary endpoint of reduction in the composite of Level 2 and Level 3 hypoglycemic events through Week 16. Safety and tolerability will also be evaluated. In April 2025, we announced that the first participant had been dosed. Completion of recruitment is expected in 2025, with topline data anticipated in the first half of 2026 and, if approved, commercial launch anticipated in 2027.

In the Phase 2 (PREVENT), 28-day, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover trial (N=18), results showed a significant reduction in rates of Level 2 and 3 hypoglycemic events in participants with PBH after RYGB surgery following treatment with 30 mg twice daily and 60 mg once daily of avexitide compared with placebo. PREVENT’s primary endpoint was met with statistical significance, showing both avexitide dosing regimens improved the lowest glucose level (nadir) after a meal as measured during formal mixed meal tolerance testing, or MMTT. Mean plasma glucose nadir was increased by 21% (p=0.001) and 26% (p=0.0002) following avexitide 30 mg twice daily and 60 mg once daily dosing, respectively, compared to placebo. Avexitide was generally well tolerated. The most common adverse events, or AEs, were injection site bruising, headache, and nausea; these occurred more often with placebo than either avexitide dose. No participants withdrew due to AEs.

In the Phase 2b, 28-day, open-label, investigator-initiated, crossover trial (N=16), 90 mg once daily and 45 mg twice daily of avexitide met its primary endpoint and significantly reduced rates of hypoglycemic events in participants following RYGB surgery and other upper-gastrointestinal surgeries. Participants in the Phase 2b trial receiving 90 mg once daily of avexitide, the dose Amylyx is evaluating in LUCIDITY, saw a statistically significant 53% reduction in Level 2 hypoglycemic events (p=0.004) and a statistically significant 66% reduction in Level 3 hypoglycemic events (p=0.0003). There were no reported serious AEs, and AEs were mostly mild to moderate and resolved without medical treatment. The most common AEs included diarrhea, headache, bloating, and injection site reaction/bruising. No participant withdrew due to AEs. In the Phase 2b trial, 90 mg once daily of avexitide has also demonstrated a favorable pharmacokinetic profile maintaining exposure in the therapeutic range through 24 hours, supporting once daily dosing.

Previous wording
Wolfram syndrome is a rare, monogenic neurodegenerative disease that progressively impacts multiple organs and systems. Wolfram syndrome is characterized by childhood-onset diabetes mellitus, optic nerve atrophy, and neurodegeneration. Common manifestations of Wolfram syndrome include diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus, gradual vision loss leading to blindness, hearing loss, neurogenic bladder, difficulties with balance and coordination, and difficulty breathing that can lead to respiratory failure. There are currently no approved therapies for the approximately 3,000 people in the U.S., and more around the world, living with Wolfram syndrome.

In October 2024, we announced positive topline data from the Phase 2 open-label HELIOS clinical trial of AMX0035 in 12 adults living with Wolfram syndrome. HELIOS (NCT05676034) is a single-site, single-arm, open-label, proof of biology, Phase 2 trial designed to study the effect of AMX0035 on safety and tolerability, and various measures of endocrinological, neurological, and ophthalmologic function in adult participants living with Wolfram syndrome. HELIOS showed improvement in pancreatic beta cell function, as measured by C-peptide response after 24 weeks of treatment with AMX0035, the study’s primary efficacy endpoint, in contrast to the expected decrease in pancreatic function with disease progression. Similar overall improvements or stabilization were observed across all secondary endpoints, including hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), time in target glucose range assessed by continuous glucose monitoring, and visual acuity. In addition, longer-term data for all participants who completed Week 36 (n=10) and Week 48 (n=6) assessments showed sustained improvement over time. The safety profile of AMX0035 in HELIOS was consistent with prior safety data from the study of AMX0035 in ALS. All AEs were mild or moderate, and there were no serious AEs related to AMX0035 treatment. We plan to share Week 48 data from the ongoing HELIOS trial of AMX0035 in Wolfram syndrome in May 2025. Data from participants at Week 48 and ongoing discussions with the FDA will inform the design of a Phase 3 trial of AMX0035 in Wolfram syndrome.

In October 2024, we announced positive topline data, including the primary efficacy outcome of the trial, from the Phase 2 open-label HELIOS clinical trial of AMX0035 in 12 adults living with Wolfram syndrome, and in May 2025, we announced positive long-term data from the HELIOS trial of AMX0035 in Wolfram syndrome through Week 48. HELIOS (NCT05676034) is a single-site, single-arm, open-label, Phase 2 trial designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMX0035, as well as its effects on various measures of endocrinological, neurological, and ophthalmologic function in adult participants living with Wolfram syndrome. Consistent with the HELIOS trial’s previously presented primary efficacy outcome of improvement in pancreatic function, as measured by C-peptide response to a mixed-meal tolerance test at Week 24, treatment with AMX0035 through Week 48 demonstrated continued and sustained improvement in pancreatic beta cell function, in contrast to the expected decrease in pancreatic function with disease progression.

PSP is a sporadic, rare, fatal neurodegenerative disease that can affect movement, gait, balance, cognition, eye movements, swallowing, and speech. People living with PSP have a life expectancy of six to eight years after symptom onset. PSP affects approximately seven in 100,000 people worldwide and approximately 23,000 in the United States. Currently, there are no disease-modifying therapies approved for the treatment of PSP. Similar to other neurodegenerative diseases, the pathophysiologic changes underlying PSP are likely multifactorial, including genetic mutations, ER stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation. PSP is considered a tauopathy based on the strong genetic link between tau variants and disease development and the presence of abnormal tau protein deposits in the brain. Biomarker data from a Phase 2 trial of AMX0035 in Alzheimer’s disease demonstrated a significant reduction in tau.
Current wording
PSP is a rare, progressive, and fatal neurodegenerative disease that can affect movement, gait, balance, cognition, eye movements, swallowing, and speech and is estimated to affect 23,000 people in the U.S. People living with PSP have a life expectancy of six to eight years after symptom onset. There are no approved therapies for PSP. PSP is a tauopathy, which is defined by the buildup of tau protein in the brain. Based on its prior effect from a Phase 2 trial of AMX0035 in reducing tau in cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF, in people with Alzheimer’s disease, we believe AM00X35 is the first brain- and cell-penetrant agent that has demonstrated a significant tau reduction in CSF to be tested in PSP.

In December 2023, we initiated the Phase 2b/3 ORION (NCT06122662) clinical trial, a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of AMX0035 for the treatment of PSP. ORION is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of AMX0035 compared to placebo. The primary objective of the ORION trial is to assess the impact of AMX0035 compared to placebo on disease progression rate as measured by the Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Rating Scale, an established and validated endpoint in PSP clinical trials. Safety and tolerability will also be evaluated. We completed enrollment in the Phase 2b portion of the ORION trial in January of this year, with a total of 139 participants randomized. Efficacy and safety data from an unblinded analysis of the Phase 2b portion of the Phase 2b/3 ORION trial of AMX0035 in PSP is anticipated in the third quarter of 2025, which will be used to inform a go/no-go decision on the Phase 3 portion of the trial.

Previous wording
AMX0114 is an investigational antisense oligonucleotide, targeting calpain-2, or CAPN2. Decades of scientific literature and published data demonstrated that CAPN2, a protein involved in neurofilament biology, plays an essential role in axonal degeneration, which is a critical effector in the progression of various neurodegenerative diseases including ALS. ALS is a relentlessly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by motor neuron death in the brain and spinal cord. Motor neuron loss in ALS leads to deteriorating muscle function, the inability to move and speak, respiratory paralysis, and, eventually, death. ALS is defined as a rare disease, but it affects as many as 30,000 adults in the U.S. and 3,000 in Canada. The most common form of the disease is sporadic ALS, with more than 90% of people with ALS showing no clear family history.
Current wording
AMX0114 is an investigational antisense oligonucleotide designed to target calpain-2, a calcium-activated protease. The FDA has granted AMX0114 Fast Track designation for the treatment of ALS. Peer-reviewed research has demonstrated that overactive calpain-2 activity may be an important driver of disease progression in ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases by executing the degeneration of axons, the long tubular neuronal segments which carry signals from neurons to the muscle or other neurons.

In February 2025, we started recruiting for the Phase 1 LUMINA clinical trial (NCT06665165), a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose trial designed to evaluate the safety and biological activity of AMX0114. LUMINA will also assess ALS biomarkers, including change from baseline in NfL levels. In April 2025, we announced that the first participant had been dosed in Canada. We are working to open U.S. sites for screening, enrollment, and dosing. Approximately 48 participants will be randomized 3:1 to receive AMX0114 or placebo by intrathecal administration once every four weeks, for up to four doses. Early cohort data from LUMINA are expected in 2025.

Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates such as avexitide and AMX0035 in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, such as AMX0114, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials and related product manufacturing expenses. Despite a decline in research and development expenses in 2024 and in the first quarter of 2025 compared to prior respective periods, we expect that our research and development expenses will increase in connection with our planned clinical development activities in the near term and in the future. At this time, we cannot accurately estimate or know the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the clinical development of avexitide, AMX0035, AMX0114 and any future product candidates. Our clinical development costs may vary significantly based on factors such as:

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive, finance, sales, marketing, as well as administrative functions. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include legal fees relating to patent and corporate matters; professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax and administrative consulting services; corporate insurance costs; administrative travel expenses; sales and marketing expenses; information technology; charitable donations to independent charitable foundations; facility-related and other operating costs. In April 2024, we announced a restructuring plan, or the Restructuring Plan, designed to focus our resources on key clinical and preclinical programs. The restructuring included a reduction in force which reduced our workforce by approximately 70% and a decrease in external financial commitments outside our priority areas. As a result, our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. However, we expect that general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods as we advance our clinical pipeline.

However, we expect that general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods as we advance our clinical pipeline.
