MBX Biosciences reported a Q3 2025 net loss of $21.6 million, a $3.5 million improvement over the $25.1 million loss reported in the same quarter last year. The company’s earnings per share of $‑0.63 beat consensus estimates of $‑0.73 by $0.10, a 13‑percentage‑point lift that reflects tighter cost control amid rising research and development and general‑administrative expenses. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities stood at $391.7 million as of September 30, 2025, giving the company a runway that management projects will extend through 2029.
The quarter’s results were underpinned by an upsized public offering that raised $199.9 million in gross proceeds from the sale of 11.1 million shares at $18.00 each. The infusion of capital not only bolstered the cash balance but also provided the financial flexibility needed to fund the company’s clinical pipeline and potential commercialization activities. The additional liquidity is expected to support the planned Phase 3 trial of canvuparatide and other Precision Endocrine Peptide (PEP) programs through 2026 and beyond.
Canvuparatide (MBX 2109), the once‑weekly parathyroid hormone replacement therapy, achieved a 63‑percent responder rate at 12 weeks and 79‑percent at six months in the open‑label extension of the Phase 2 Avail™ trial for chronic hypoparathyroidism. These data confirm the once‑weekly dosing hypothesis and position the drug for a Phase 3 study, a critical milestone that could accelerate regulatory approval and market entry. The strong clinical signal also strengthens the company’s PEP platform narrative, which underpins its broader pipeline strategy.
Board changes were announced alongside the earnings release: Steve Hoerter was appointed executive chairperson, while Jim Cornelius retired from the board effective October 31. The company also outlined its 2026 milestones, including the completion of Phase 2 and European Medicines Agency scientific advice in Q1 2026, presentation of one‑year Phase 2 data in Q2 2026, and initiation of a Phase 3 trial in hypoparathyroidism in Q3 2026.
CEO Kent Hawryluk emphasized that the quarter’s results “demonstrate the company’s ability to execute on its clinical and financial objectives.” He noted that the positive Phase 2 data “support our belief that canvuparatide has the potential to be best‑in‑class in hypoparathyroidism” and that the company’s cash runway into 2029 “provides the flexibility to advance our pipeline and pursue commercialization.” Hawryluk also highlighted the company’s commitment to achieving 2026 milestones across its PEP portfolio, underscoring a strategy that blends clinical progress with financial prudence.
The combination of a cost‑controlled earnings beat, a robust clinical data set, and a substantial capital raise positions MBX Biosciences favorably for the next phase of its development program. The company’s financial strength mitigates near‑term funding risk, while the clinical success of canvuparatide reduces product‑development risk and enhances the attractiveness of its PEP platform to investors and partners alike.
