Lyra Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:LYRA) shares are trading lower by 93% to $0.30 during Monday’s session after the company announced the ENLIGHTEN 1 trial did not meet its primary endpoint.

What Happened?

Lyra Therapeutics released disappointing results from its Phase 3 ENLIGHTEN 1 trial, evaluating LYR-210 for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). LYR-210 did not meet the primary endpoint of significantly improving CRS symptoms compared to the sham control at 24 weeks.

Despite improvements in some secondary measures, such as the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) score, ethmoid sinus opacification did not significantly improve. The trial, which enrolled 190 patients, is ongoing, with data from the 52-week extension phase expected later in the year.

The company meanwhile plans to make operational changes and reduce its workforce to conserve cash. LYR-210 is a bioabsorbable implant designed to deliver anti-inflammatory medication for up to six months, targeting a significant population of CRS patients who fail standard therapies.
