Q1 2025 earnings summary13 May, 2025

Executive summary

  • GlycoMimetics ceased development of its drug candidates after negative Phase 3 and Phase 2 trial results for uproleselan in AML, with no statistically significant benefit observed and no ongoing clinical trials as of March 31, 2025.

  • The company initiated a strategic review, reduced its workforce by 80%, and entered into a merger agreement with Crescent Biopharma, expected to close in Q2 2025, after which Crescent's business will become primary.

  • A $200 million private placement is planned to close concurrently with the merger, with pre-merger GlycoMimetics shareholders expected to own only 2.6% of the combined company post-transaction.

Financial highlights

  • Net loss for Q1 2025 was $2.34 million, a significant improvement from a $10.74 million net loss in Q1 2024, reflecting the wind-down of operations.

  • Research and development expenses dropped to $15,000 in Q1 2025 from $6.03 million in Q1 2024; general and administrative expenses fell to $2.38 million from $5.09 million year-over-year.

  • Cash and cash equivalents were $5.6 million as of March 31, 2025, down from $10.7 million at year-end 2024.

  • Net cash used in operating activities was $5.1 million in Q1 2025, down from $10.5 million in Q1 2024.

  • No revenue was recognized in Q1 2025; the Apollomics license agreement was terminated effective May 21, 2025.

Outlook and guidance

  • Current cash is expected to fund operations until the merger closes; if the merger and private placement do not close by Q3 2025, the company may seek other alternatives or liquidate.

  • No plans to continue development of uproleselan or other drug candidates; Crescent Biopharma's pipeline will become the focus post-merger.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
