2Strategic Updates and Business Highlights

FG-3246 Program:

Ongoing Phase II trial for FG-3246 (an antibody-drug conjugate targeting CD46) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is actively enrolling patients, with interim analysis expected in Q4 2026.

The program aims to differentiate itself as the only non-PSMA therapy in mid to late-stage development that combines a therapeutic with a companion PET imaging agent (FG-3180).

Early clinical results show promising efficacy metrics, including a median radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) of 8.7 months in heavily pre-treated patients.

Roxadustat Program:

Finalized protocol for a Phase III trial targeting anemia in lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), with plans to initiate in Q4 2026.

The drug demonstrated a significant potential for transfusion independence in high transfusion burden patients.

3Forward Guidance and Outlook

Kyntra Bio is focused on executing its strategic vision with key clinical milestones expected in the coming quarters, particularly the interim analysis for FG-3246 and the initiation of the Phase III trial for roxadustat.

The company remains optimistic about its cash position, which supports ongoing investments in its clinical pipeline.

4Bad News, Challenges, or Points of Concern

Increased Operating Costs: Operating expenses have risen significantly, which may impact future profitability.

Market Competition: The company faces competitive pressures in the mCRPC market, particularly from established PSMA-targeted therapies.

Regulatory and Development Risks: The success of clinical trials and potential regulatory approvals are uncertain and could affect future financial performance.

5Notable Q&A Insights

Roxadustat Dosing: The titration protocol for roxadustat will be based on a benefit-risk assessment every six weeks, with specific intervals for dose adjustments.

Partnership Considerations: The decision to partner for the Phase III trial of roxadustat is contingent on economic considerations, including potential royalties owed to AstraZeneca if developed independently.

Patient Enrollment Dynamics: Approximately 30% of patients in the FG-3246 trial have prior exposure to Lutetium-177, with ongoing assessments to understand the impact of this on trial outcomes.

Potential for Accelerated Approval: While accelerated approval for FG-3246 in patients previously treated with Pluvicto was discussed, no definitive plans were made, emphasizing a data-driven approach. Overall, Kyntra Bio is navigating a promising yet challenging landscape with significant clinical developments on the horizon, while also managing rising costs and competitive pressures.
