Barinthus Bio Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Updates on Corporate Developments
•Single ascending dose data readout for VTP-1000 expected before the end of 2025
•Enrollment advancing in multiple ascending dose part of the AVALON trial; data expected in the second half of 2026
•Proposed combination with Clywedog Therapeutics Inc. (“Clywedog”) to strengthen and diversify the pipeline and broaden the Company’s base of high caliber institutional investors.
GERMANTOWN, Maryland, November 7, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Barinthus Biotherapeutics plc (NASDAQ: BRNS) (“Barinthus Bio,” or the “Company”), an immunology and inflammation (“I&I”) company focused on developing therapies that promote immune tolerance with curative potential, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and provided an overview of the Company’s corporate developments.
"The proposed combination of Barinthus Bio and Clywedog represents an important step toward building a stronger, more resilient company,with several expected near-term catalysts.” said Bill Enright, Chief Executive Officer of Barinthus Bio. “By combining our complementary pipelines and deep expertise in metabolic and autoimmune diseases, we are diversifying risk across multiple assets and creating a differentiated portfolio. This combination will position us to advance disease-modifying therapies for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, celiac disease, and other serious conditions.”
Recent Corporate Developments
Clinical Developments and Upcoming Milestones
•Phase 1 AVALON trial of VTP-1000 in patients with celiac disease
•Part A: Single ascending dose (“SAD”):
•SAD is ongoing with no treatment related serious adverse events (“SAEs”) reported.
•Data expected to be announced before the end of 2025.
•Part B: Multiple ascending dose (“MAD”): Enrollment in the MAD portion of the trial is ongoing, with data expected in the second half of 2026.
Corporate Updates
•On September 30, 2025, Barinthus Bio announced it had entered into a definitive merger agreement to combine in an all-stock transaction with Clywedog, a private company advancing breakthrough medicines in diabetes. The newly combined company will advance a differentiated portfolio of clinical-stage candidates targeting metabolic and autoimmune diseases, with four clinical data milestones expected within 18 months of the closing of the transaction. Upon the closing of the transaction, the combined company will be renamed “Clywedog Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.” and is expected to trade on the NASDAQ under the new ticker symbol “CLYD.” The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026, with the combined company's estimated cash runway to extend through 2027 supported by existing cash and additional investments by OrbiMed and TPAV, LLC, both existing shareholders in Clywedog, and new investors.
•Barinthus Bio continues to actively seek partners to advance its VTP-300 program in chronic hepatitis B, its VTP-850 program in prostate cancer and other viral vector-based assets.
Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights
•Cash: As of September 30, 2025, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $75.7 million, compared to $87.8 million as of June 30, 2025. The $12.1 million decrease was a result of the net cash used in operating activities of which $10.7 million was used for the development of the Company's pipeline and general corporate expenses,and a $1.8 million translational loss from the conversion of balances in pound sterling denominated entities to the United States dollar reporting currency, offset by $0.5 million in proceeds received from the sale of U.K. laboratory equipment. Based on standalone research and development plans, the Company expects its available resources to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2027.
•Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was attributable to reduced activity in the infectious disease and oncology clinical programs, a reduction in workforce and the impact of closing the U.K. laboratory in the third quarter of 2025, resulting in a reduction in facility and other indirect costs being allocated to research and development. The quarter-on-quarter research and development expenses per program are outlined in the following table, with the expense primarily attributable to completion and follow up for two Phase 2 clinical trials of VTP-300, and the continued progression of the Phase 1 AVALON clinical trial of VTP-1000 in celiac disease. It is anticipated that research and development expenses related to the legacy programs in infectious disease and oncology will continue to decrease going forward as the ongoing clinical trials complete, and that research and development expenses related to autoimmune programs will continue at current levels or increase, as the clinical development continues.

1 This includes expenses relating to the infectious disease and oncology programs; VTP-850 Prostate cancer, VTP-200 HPV, VTP-600 NSCLC (the Phase 1/2a trial is sponsored by Cancer Research UK) and VTP-500 MERS (funded pursuant to an agreement with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (“CEPI”)). Expenses relating to these programs were previously presented separately, but are now aggregated for the prior period comparative.
2 This includes $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30,2025, respectively, of personnel-related indirect expenses relating to time spent progressing the VTP-500 MERS program, which is funded by CEPI.
•General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $15.4 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease of $10.2 million related primarily to a reduction in unrealized losses on foreign exchange driven mainly by translation of United States dollar balances in pound sterling denominated entities.
•Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Expense: Impairment of long-lived assets expense was $4.7 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to nil for the second quarter of 2025. The anticipated valuation of the company, as implied by the definitive merger agreement with Clywedog entered into in the period, is less than the carrying value of the net assets and therefore resulted in an impairment of intangible assets.
•Net Loss: For the third quarter of 2025, the Company generated a net loss attributable to its shareholders of $14.6 million, or $(0.36) per share on both basic and fully diluted bases, compared to a net loss attributable to its shareholders of $21.1 million, or $(0.52) per share on both basic and fully diluted bases for the second quarter of 2025.
