Lyra Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: LYRA) is a clinical-stage therapeutics company focused on advancing and commercializing innovative drug and delivery solutions specifically designed for ear, nose, and throat diseases. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Watertown, Massachusetts, Lyra Therapeutics leverages its proprietary XTreo™ technology platform to deliver sustained medication directly to the targeted tissue via a single administration.
The company's primary product candidates, LYR-210 and LYR-220, are bioresorbable polymeric matrices targeting the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). These candidates are formulated to provide up to six months of continuous drug therapy through a non-invasive, in-office procedure. LYR-210 is intended for patients who have not undergone sinus surgery, while LYR-220 is designed for those who have had prior ethmoid sinus surgery.
Recent advancements include the BEACON Phase 2 clinical trial of LYR-220, which demonstrated significant improvement in CRS patients post-surgery, and the ongoing ENLIGHTEN Phase 3 clinical trials of LYR-210, targeting patients who have not had surgery. Lyra's financial condition remains robust, with cash and short-term investments totaling $102.6 million as of September 30, 2023, expected to support operations into the first quarter of 2025.
