Q1 2026 Financial Results
Reported a net loss of $41.284 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase from $35.907 million in the prior year period. Research and development expenses increased by 25% to $27.610 million, primarily driven by avexitide and new programs, partially offset by the discontinuation of AMX0035 for PSP.

Avexitide Phase 3 Enrollment Completed
Enrollment for the pivotal Phase 3 LUCIDITY clinical trial evaluating avexitide in post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) was completed in March 2026. Topline data is anticipated in the third quarter of 2026, with a potential commercial launch in 2027 if approved. An Expanded Access Program (EAP) for avexitide in PBH was initiated in May 2026.

AMX0035 Shows Sustained Positive Phase 2 Data
Positive Week 48 data from the Phase 2 HELIOS trial of AMX0035 in Wolfram syndrome demonstrated continued and sustained improvement in pancreatic beta cell function, glycemic control, and visual acuity. Discussions with the FDA for a Phase 3 trial are ongoing.

Pipeline Expansion with AMX0318 and AMX0114 Progress
AMX0318 was selected as a development candidate for PBH and other rare diseases in January 2026, triggering a $4 million milestone payment to Gubra. IND-enabling studies are underway, targeting an IND in 2027. Enrollment for Cohort 2 of the Phase 1 LUMINA trial for AMX0114 in ALS was completed in March 2026, with Cohort 1 biomarker data expected in June 2026.
Analysis · AMLX · Life Sciences
Amylyx Pharmaceuticals reported an increased net loss for Q1 2026 but demonstrated significant progress across its clinical pipeline, maintaining a cash runway into 2028. Key advancements include the completion of enrollment for the pivotal Phase 3 LUCIDITY trial for avexitide in PBH, with topline data expected in Q3 2026, and positive long-term data from the Phase 2 HELIOS trial for AMX0035 in Wolfram syndrome. The company also advanced AMX0114 in ALS and selected AMX0318 as a new development candidate, indicating a robust and progressing pipeline. The resolution of a class action lawsuit for $6.5 million, largely covered by insurance, removes a minor legal overhang.
