Unlocking new therapeutic pathways for metabolic health

Nasdaq: SKYE

We are a biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation drugs to treat obesity and other metabolic diseases.

Our focus is on advancing first-in-class molecules that modulate G-protein coupled receptors with the potential to provide enhanced health outcomes for diseases with significant prevalence and unmet needs.

Obesity & CB1 Inhibition

The obesity landscape awaits differentiated therapeutic mechanisms to help patients achieve healthier, sustainable weight loss and improve related metabolic conditions

Current anti-obesity therapeutics are spotlighting the need for solutions to achieve persistent weight loss outcomes, improved body composition and better drug tolerability. Peripheral CB1 inhibition, a alternative mechanism that is complementary to other weight loss therapeutic mechanisms, directly affects metabolic processes that can increase energy expenditure and burn stored fat, improve leptin sensitivity and modulate peripheral signalling that influences appetite and feelings of fullness. It represents a promising path to potentially broaden achievable therapeutic outcomes to serve the large and heterogeneous obesity market.

Phase 2: Nimacimab 01

01 Nimacimab is a first-in-class peripheral CB1-inhibiting antibody being developed to realize the differentiated mechanism of action and clinical outcomes that would position CB1 inhibition as an anti-obesity therapeutic that is complementary to current approved drugs. Targeting the CB1 receptor in peripheral tissue including adipose, liver, and muscle, with an extremely limited presence in the CNS, nimacimab offers the prospect of directly increasing energy expenditure to cause fat breakdown with better gastrointestinal tolerability and muscle preservation, and a more sustainable weight loss result. Nimacimab achieved a positive tolerability and Phase 1 safety profile, with no neuropsychiatric adverse events. Its unique binding to the CB1 receptor may result in a broader therapeutic window and it offers the potential for once-a-week to once-a-month drug administration, a positive for patient adherence. Skye started its CBeyondTM obesity Phase 2 study in August 2024, with data readouts in 2025.
