BOSTON, Aug. 04, 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2026 and provided an update on recent progress and anticipated milestones.
"Positive clinical proof-of-concept data for OD-001 marked an important milestone for Odyssey and we look forward to sharing additional, supportive data from this trial in October," said Gary D.

"We are focused on continuing to build momentum for this program as we prepare to initiate the next monotherapy trial and the first combination trial for OD-001 later this year. In addition, we plan to file a CTA for our second clinical program, OD-002, an oral SLC15A4 inhibitor designed to selectively modulate pathogenic B cell populations to treat autoimmune disease, by the end of this year."
Second Quarter Business Highlights and Recent Developments
Pipeline Highlights
- OD-001: Small molecule RIPK2 scaffolding inhibitor
- Treatment with OD-001 in the Phase 2a expansion cohort is now complete, with data analyses ongoing. Updated safety and efficacy results from the full Phase 2a induction dataset, including expansion cohort, as well as assessments of exploratory endpoints, are expected to be presented in an oral presentation at the United European Gastroenterology (UEG) Week in October.
- Odyssey continues to expect the RIPK2 program to enter its next stage of clinical development, with initiation of a Phase 2b monotherapy trial and Phase 2a combination trial with vedolizumab expected in the second half of 2026. Additional details on both studies are expected to be shared in the second half of 2026.
Anticipated Key Clinical Milestones
- OD-001 (RIPK2 scaffolding inhibitor): Initiate a Phase 2b monotherapy trial and Phase 2a combination trial with vedolizumab in the second half of 2026, with topline induction data from both studies expected in the second half of 2027.
- OD-002 (SLC15A4 inhibitor): Complete investigational new drug ("IND")-enabling studies and file a clinical trial application ("CTA") in the second half of 2026, enabling initiation of a Phase 1/2a clinical trial in the first half of 2027 in healthy participants, followed by patient cohorts across a number of diseases, including cutaneous lupus erythematosus and additional autoimmune diseases.
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
As of June 30, 2026, Odyssey had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $433.1 million, which are expected to fund Odyssey's operations into the second half of 2028.
Research and development expenses were $36.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $30.2 million for the same period in 2025. The change primarily reflected an increase in external research and development costs associated with advancing the Company's clinical and preclinical programs. General and administrative expenses were $10.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $13.2 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease primarily reflected lower legal and accounting professional fees than were recorded in the corresponding period for the prior year.
Net loss was $52.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $41.2 million for the same period in 2025. Adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) was $38.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, after excluding $8.7 million of non-cash charges related to the change in the fair value of contingent consideration and $5.7 million of stock-based compensation expense. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Additional financial information will be available in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and will be accessible at www.sec.gov and through the "Investors" section of the Company's website at investors.odysseytx.com.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes adjusted net loss, a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Adjusted net loss is defined as GAAP net loss excluding non-cash changes in the fair value of contingent consideration and stock-based compensation expense.
Management believes adjusted net loss provides investors with useful supplemental information regarding the Company's operating performance. Management uses adjusted net loss, together with GAAP financial measures, to evaluate the Company's operating performance and facilitate comparisons across reporting periods.
Adjusted net loss should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net loss. Because other companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently, adjusted net loss may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The following table reconciles GAAP net loss to adjusted net loss:
