The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 attached hereto, is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On April 13, 2026, the Company announced positive initial 12-week induction topline data from Part A of the Phase 2 SKYLINE trial of SPY001 for the treatment of moderate-to-severely active UC. Additionally, the Company announced that recruitment for Part A of the SKYLINE Trial is now closed and enrollment is open for Part B, which includes three monotherapy cohorts (SPY001, SPY002, and SPY003) and three combination cohorts (SPY120, SPY130, and SPY230) into which participants may be randomized versus a shared placebo. Proof-of-concept induction data for the remaining cohorts of Part A are now expected mid-2026 (SPY002) and Q3 2026 (SPY003). Part B induction data (all cohorts) remain on track for 2027.
SPY001 SKYLINE Part A Induction Topline Results
Initial 12-week findings from SKYLINE Part A demonstrated that SPY001 met or exceeded all key objectives.
Efficacy: SPY001 achieved the primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant reduction in the Robarts Histopathology Index (“RHI”) score of 9.2 points (p<0.0001). Rates of key secondary endpoints of clinical remission and endoscopic improvement were clinically meaningful.
Endpoint | Week 12 Result | ||||
Change in RHI from baseline Primary endpoint | -9.2 (p<0.0001) | ||||
Clinical remission rate | 40% | ||||
Endoscopic improvement rate | 51% | ||||
Change in Modified Mayo Score | -3.7 | ||||
Safety: SPY001 was well tolerated with a safety profile consistent with the α4β7 class. There were six subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events during the induction treatment period, with one serious adverse
event (“SAE”), deemed not drug-related. The most common adverse event (“AE”) (occurring in ≥ 2 patients) was back pain (n=2).

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, other than purely historical information, may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the Company’s ongoing and future clinical development activities, including Spyre’s plans for and timing of cohort initiation and data readouts for the ongoing SKYLINE trial and ongoing SKYWAY trial and enrollment of clinical trials; the inclusion of each rational combination in Part B of the SKYLINE Phase 2 platform trial; and Spyre’s business plans, milestones, strategy and goals. The words “opportunity,” “potential,” “milestones,” “pipeline,” “strategy,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “predict,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions (including the negatives of these terms) may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company’s control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, uncertainties and risks arising from regulatory feedback, including potential disagreement by regulatory authorities with the Company’s interpretation of data and the Company’s clinical trials for its product candidates; the potential for interim data not being delivered within expected time frames or final data not being consistent with or different than the interim data reported for our programs; the potential impact of Trump Administration policies and changes in law on our business; and those uncertainties and factors described in Spyre's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as well as discussions of potential risks, uncertainties, and other important factors included in the Company’s other filings it makes with the SEC from time to time. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth therein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, which speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein.
