BOSTON, June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Odyssey Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ODTX) (“Odyssey” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company seeking to transform the standard of care for patients suffering from autoimmune and inflammatory diseases by developing medicines that precisely target disease pathology, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 and highlighted progress across its clinical and preclinical portfolio.

“During the quarter, we continued to build meaningful momentum and made significant progress across our portfolio, including delivering clinical proof-of-concept for our oral, small molecule, RIPK2 scaffolding inhibitor, OD-001, in moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis,” said Gary D. Glick, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Odyssey. “We look forward to rapidly advancing OD-001 into late-stage development and a series of combination trials with standard of care therapies to deliver on our aim of breaking the therapeutic ceiling in inflammatory bowel disease and providing a safe, oral medicine for long-term disease management. In addition, we expect to use the net financing proceeds to support advancement of our broader portfolio, including our small molecule SLC15A4 inhibitor, OD-002, for which we expect to file a CTA in the second half of 2026.”

First Quarter Business Highlights and Recent Developments

Pipeline Highlights

• OD-001: Small molecule RIPK2 scaffolding inhibitor
  • Achieved clinical proof-of-concept in a Phase 2a clinical trial of OD-001 in moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. 49 patients completed 12 weeks of treatment with OD-001 and were eligible for efficacy analysis. OD-001 was well tolerated at both doses tested and observed to be efficacious in patients naïve, or experienced, to advanced therapies, with 27% of patients achieving clinical remission and 61% achieving clinical response.
  • Odyssey is continuing to advance OD-001 and expects to initiate both a Phase 2b monotherapy trial and a Phase 2a combination trial with vedolizumab in the second half of 2026, with topline induction data from both trials expected in the second half of 2027.
    

Corporate Highlights

• Closed initial public offering and concurrent private placement, resulting in gross proceeds of $314.8M
  • Closed an initial public offering of 15,500,000 shares of common stock and a concurrent private placement of 1,388,889 shares of common stock at the initial public offering price of $18.00 per share. Following the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, the underwriters partially exercised their option to purchase 600,000 additional shares of common stock at $18.00 per share.

Anticipated Key Clinical Milestones

• OD-001 (RIPK2 scaffolding inhibitor): Initiate a Phase 2b monotherapy trial and a Phase 2a combination trial with vedolizumab in the second half of 2026, with results from both studies expected in the second half of 2027. Results from the signal-seeking Phase 2a monotherapy trial, for which topline induction data were released in April 2026, will be presented in the second half of 2026.
• OD-002 (SLC15A4 inhibitor): Complete investigational new drug (“IND”) enabling studies and file a clinical trial application (“CTA”) in the second half of 2026, which would enable the initiation of a Phase 1/2a clinical trial with healthy participants and patients in the first half of 2027.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

As of March 31, 2026, Odyssey had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $175.7 million, which, together with the $288.7 million of net proceeds raised as part of its initial public offering, and concurrent private placement, are expected to fund Odyssey’s operations into the second half of 2028. Odyssey’s pro-forma cash position as of March 31, 2026, after giving effect to the net proceeds from these financing events, is $464.4M.

Research and development expenses were $32.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $38.8 million for the same period in 2025. The change primarily reflected a non-cash lease impairment charge recorded in the corresponding period from the prior year. General and administrative expenses were $7.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $8.0 million for the same period in 2025. Net loss was $38.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to a net loss of $38.4 million for the same period in 2025.
