PASSAGE BIO REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND PROVIDES RECENT BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Actively enrolling Cohort 3 (FTD-GRN) and Cohort 4 (FTD-C9orf72) patients in ongoing upliFT-D study

Aligned with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on an analytical approach to establish comparability of a high-productivity, suspension-based PBFT02 manufacturing process

On track to obtain regulatory feedback on FTD-GRN registrational trial design in 1H 2026

Cash runway into 1Q 2027

PHILADELPHIA – November 10, 2025 – Passage Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: PASG), a clinical stage genetic medicines company focused on improving the lives of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and provided recent business highlights.

“We are pleased to report that we have opened enrollment in our third FTD-GRN and first FTD-C9orf72 patient cohorts in our ongoing upliFT-D clinical trial of PBFT02. We recognize the urgent need for the development of disease-modifying therapies for the FTD patient community, and we remain focused on advancing our study expeditiously,” said Will Chou, M.D., president and chief executive officer of Passage Bio. “In addition, we completed a successful meeting with the FDA where we aligned on key elements of an analytical comparability plan to support the future use of our high-productivity, suspension-based manufacturing process for PBFT02 in a registrational study. As we look towards the first half of 2026, we are excited to share additional data to further inform our understanding of the potential of PBFT02 and initiate discussions with the FDA on a registrational study design in FTD-GRN.”

Recent Highlights

Actively enrolling Cohort 3 (FTD-GRN) and Cohort 4 (FTD-C9orf72) patients in upliFT-D study: Cohort 3 is expected to consist of five to 10 FTD-GRN patients, with patient enrollment occurring in parallel; Cohort 4 is expected to consist of three to five FTD-C9orf72 patients. Both cohorts will evaluate Dose 2 PBFT02. The company recently amended the upliFT-D trial protocol to introduce a short course of low-dose prophylactic anticoagulation and revise study inclusion criteria to allow for enrollment of patients who are prodromal or have mild cognitive impairment and to exclude patients who are more severely progressed. The amended protocol was submitted to all global trial sites and relevant health authorities and has been implemented at initial trial sites. The company plans to report updated interim safety and biomarker data from Dose 2 in the first half of 2026.

Aligned with the FDA on an analytical approach to establish comparability of a high-productivity, suspension-based PBFT02 manufacturing process: The company completed a Type D Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) meeting with FDA, during which the company aligned with FDA on key elements of the analytical plan to establish process comparability of its suspension-based process. The GMP-ready, suspension-based PBFT02 manufacturing process has been executed at 200-liter scale, and substantially improved productivity, capsid purity, and percentage of full capsids compared to the current adherent-based manufacturing process. A single batch of the suspension-based process is estimated to yield more than 1,000 doses of PBFT02 at Dose 2 with over 90% purity and over 70% full capsids.

On track to obtain regulatory feedback on an FTD-GRN registrational trial design in 1H 2026: The company intends to engage with the FDA in the first half of 2026 to gain feedback on key elements of a registrational study design of PBFT02 for FTD-GRN, including the FDA’s perspective on the possibility of a single-arm registrational design with a comparison to a natural history control.

Anticipated Upcoming Milestones:

Report updated interim safety and biomarker data from Dose 2 in 1H 2026
Seek regulatory feedback on registrational trial design in FTD-GRN in 1H 2026

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $52.8 million as of September 30, 2025, as compared to $84.8 million as of September 30, 2024. The company expects current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to fund operations into 1Q 2027.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $4.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $8.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses were $4.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $7.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Net Loss: Net loss was $7.7 million, or $2.44 per basic and diluted share (as adjusted for the 1-for-20 reverse stock split effected on July 14, 2025), for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, as compared to a net loss of $19.3 million, or $6.15 per basic and diluted share (as adjusted for the 1-for-20 reverse stock split effected on July 14, 2025), for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

About upliFT-D (NCT04747431)

upliFT-D is a Phase 1/2 global, multi-center, open-label clinical trial of PBFT02 administered by single injection into the cisterna magna in patients aged 35 to 75 years with FTD-GRN or FTD-C9orf72. The clinical trial will sequentially enroll three FTD-GRN cohorts and two FTD-C9orf72 cohorts. Enrollment is currently ongoing. The primary endpoint of the clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PBFT02. Secondary endpoints include disease biomarkers and clinical outcome measures. upliFT-D is a two-year clinical trial with a three-year safety extension. 

Passage Bio is pursuing several initiatives to support clinical trial recruitment and enrollment, including a collaborative partnership with InformedDNA to provide no-cost genetic counseling and testing for adults who have been diagnosed by their physicians with FTD. More information about upliFT-D can be found here.
