Skye Bioscience’s Weight problems Candidate Reveals 30% Weight Loss When Mixed With Eli Lilly’s Blockbuster Drug In Animal Fashions – Skye Bioscience (NASDAQ:SKYE)

Skye Bioscience, Inc. SKYE inventory is buying and selling greater on Tuesday with a robust session quantity of 18.49 million in comparison with the common quantity of 196.131k, as per knowledge from Benzinga Professional.

On Tuesday, the corporate introduced new preclinical knowledge for its novel CB1 antibody, nimacimab.

In a murine diet-induced weight problems (DIO) mannequin, after 25 days of therapy, outcomes demonstrated:

• Higher than 30% weight reduction when nimacimab was mixed with Eli Lilly And Co’s LLY tirzepatide (Mounjaro and Zepbound).
• Nimacimab alone demonstrated 23.5% weight reduction, corresponding to Novo Nordisk A/S’s NVO monlunabant and tirzepatide alone.

“This new preclinical examine highlights {that a} actually peripherally-restricted CB1 inhibitor—nimacimab—successfully drives weight reduction in a DIO mannequin. Nimacimab in contrast favorably to and offered vital additive weight reduction when mixed with GLP-1-targeted medication like tirzepatide,” stated Punit Dhillon, CEO of Skye. “Utilizing greater doses, this examine builds on our earlier preclinical DIO knowledge in human CB1 knock-in mice that confirmed vital dose-dependent weight reduction. Biomarker analyses demonstrated that nimacimab-driven weight reduction was related to helpful modifications in key hormones, glycemic management, and inflammatory markers.

“Skye believes nimacimab exhibits potential each as a monotherapy and together with a GLP-1 focused drug to handle unmet wants in weight problems with the potential to vary weight reduction requirements of care.”

Preliminary knowledge from Skye’s Part 2a examine in weight problems is predicted within the late third quarter or early fourth quarter of 2025.

Skye additionally shared new in vitro knowledge demonstrating differentiated efficiency traits.

This examine assessed the efficiency of nimacimab and monlunabant in opposition to two concentrations of the CB1 agonist CP55940.

The primary situation evaluated the efficiency of every drug with a decrease focus of CP55940 (50nM or EC80), whereas the second situation evaluated efficiency in opposition to an elevated focus of CP55940 (2000nM or 40X EC80).

These knowledge demonstrated that whereas nimacimab’s efficiency remained comparatively steady, the exercise of monlunabant when challenged with the next focus of a CB1 agonist was considerably impacted.

“Within the context of CB1 inhibition, we goal to appreciate the load loss and metabolic advantages of this mechanism with out the neuropsychiatric negative effects seen with small molecule medication. In our estimation, the potential of superior efficiency of nimacimab on this illness state might provide the widest potential therapeutic window amongst CB1 inhibitors,” Dhillon added.

Value Motion: SKYE inventory is up 29.40% at $1.69 on the final verify Tuesday.
