Analysis · SKYE · Life Sciences
Skye Bioscience announced highly positive interim 52-week results from its Phase 2a extension study of nimacimab in combination with semaglutide for obesity. The combination achieved a mean weight loss of 22.3% at 52 weeks, with no plateau observed, positioning it competitively against other leading obesity treatments. Crucially, the data also showed a significant reduction in weight regain during off-therapy follow-up, demonstrating enhanced durability compared to semaglutide alone. The therapy maintained a strong safety and tolerability profile. While the company's cash runway extends into Q4 2026, excluding the costs for a planned Phase 2b study, these robust clinical results significantly de-risk future financing efforts and support the advancement of nimacimab into higher-dose studies.
