Total operating expenses for the quarter were $36 million, down 53% from the same period in 2024, driven by decreases in both research and development expenses, and selling, general, and administrative expenses, which were $19.9 million and $16.2 million, respectively.

Publication Date: Nov -17

📋 Highlights
  • Phase III Trial Progress: Avexitide's LUCIDITY trial for PBH is on track to complete enrollment by Q1 2026, with top-line data expected in Q3 2026, enrolling 75 patients across 20 sites.
  • Strong Cash Position: Amylyx ended Q3 2025 with $344M in cash, up from $181M in Q2 2025, after a $191M public offering in early September, supporting launch readiness into 2028.
  • Cost Efficiency: Q3 2025 operating expenses dropped 53% YoY to $36M, with R&D at $19.9M and SG&A at $16.2M, reflecting operational leverage.
  • Expanding Pipeline: AMX0114 (ALS) Phase I LUMINA Cohort 1 fully enrolled in September, while AMX0035 plans to initiate a pivotal trial for Wolfram syndrome in H2 2026.
  • Addressable Market: PBH affects ~160,000 US patients uncontrolled on diet, with avexitide targeting severe hypoglycemic events (Level 2/3) linked to post-bariatric surgery complications.

Cash Position and Financing

The significant increase in cash is expected to support the potential launch of avexitide in 2027 and provides an anticipated cash runway into 2028. This financing will be crucial as the company advances its lead program, avexitide, through the pivotal Phase III LUCIDITY trial for post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH).

Clinical Progress and Pipeline

The LUCIDITY trial is expected to complete enrollment in Q1 2026, with top-line data anticipated in Q3 2026. Avexitide has FDA breakthrough therapy designation and has shown significant reductions in hypoglycemic events in a Phase IIb trial. The company is also advancing AMX0035 for Wolfram syndrome, with plans to initiate a focused pivotal Phase III trial in the second half of 2026, and AMX0114 for ALS, with Cohort 1 in the Phase I LUMINA trial fully enrolled in September.

Market Potential and Valuation

The estimated addressable market for PBH patients is 160,000, who are not controlled on diet and experience unacceptable and clinically problematic hypoglycemic events. With a current P/S Ratio of -1586.25, the market is pricing in significant uncertainty around the company's ability to generate revenue. The EV/EBITDA ratio stands at -5.37, indicating that the company's enterprise value is not justified by its current EBITDA, highlighting the need for successful clinical trials and subsequent commercialization.

Future Prospects and Potential

The company is also exploring the potential use of avexitide for hypoglycemia associated with other GI surgeries, which could potentially expand its market. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at -99.9%, indicating a challenging year ahead in terms of revenue generation. However, the successful execution of the LUCIDITY study and potential approval of avexitide could significantly change the company's prospects.
