ROCKVILLE, Md., March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- REGENXBIO Inc. (NASDAQ:RGNX) today reported financial results and operational highlights for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.

"We are rapidly advancing our late-stage pipeline of gene therapies to treat rare and retinal diseases with significant unmet need, with multiple near-term catalysts in 2026," said Curran Simpson, President and Chief Executive Officer, REGENXBIO. "We will drive continued momentum across our programs – powered by our fully in-house, end-to-end capabilities, commercial-ready manufacturing, and global partners. We remain focused on executing on our mission to deliver meaningful new medicines to patients in need through the curative potential of gene therapy."

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS AND MILESTONES

Neuromuscular Disease: RGX-202 is a potential best-in-class gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne). RGX-202 is designed to address the underlying cause of Duchenne by enabling targeted expression of a novel microdystrophin that is closest to naturally occurring dystrophin. It is the only microdystrophin that includes the C-Terminal domain, which has been shown to protect and preserve muscle function. The differentiated therapeutic approach behind RGX-202 includes a novel construct, a proactive immune suppression regimen, and a suspension-based manufacturing process that delivers industry-leading product purity levels. RGX-202 is designed for improved muscle function, durability and safety outcomes for patients.

• Positive 18-month functional data from patients treated with the pivotal dose in the Phase I/II portion of the AFFINITY DUCHENNE^® trial (n=4) were reported in January 2026. All patients exceeded expected disease trajectory on the North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) using the established cTAP disease progression model. RGX-202 recipients improved an average of 7.4 points compared to cTAP. These same patients improved an average of 6.6 points compared to cTAP at 12 months post-treatment.
• The Company plans to share additional Phase I/II safety, biomarker, and functional data at the MDA Clinical and Scientific Conference on March 11, 2026.
• REGENXBIO continues to manufacture RGX-202 intended for commercial supply at its in-house Manufacturing Innovation Center.
• REGENXBIO expects to share pivotal topline data in early Q2 2026.
• REGENXBIO plans to request a pre-BLA meeting in mid-2026 to align with FDA on the BLA submission. Additional regulatory interactions with the FDA and European Medical Association (EMA) are planned for 1H 2026.
• Following the completion of enrollment in the pivotal trial (n=30) in October 2025, the Company continues to enroll in the confirmatory trial (n=30) and expects to have the majority of this trial enrolled at the time of BLA submission.

Retinal Disease: Surabgene lomparvovec (sura-vec, ABBV-RGX-314), developed in collaboration with AbbVie, is potentially the first-in-class treatment for wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Sura-vec for the Treatment of Wet AMD (Subretinal Delivery)

• REGENXBIO expects to share topline data with AbbVie from ATMOSPHERE^® and ASCENT^® pivotal trials of sura-vec using subretinal delivery in Q4 2026.
• Global regulatory submissions are expected in 2027.

Sura-vec for the Treatment of DR (Suprachoroidal Delivery)

• REGENXBIO is activating U.S. clinical sites in the pivotal Phase IIb/III NAAVIGATE study. The Company will receive a $100 million milestone payment from AbbVie upon first patient dosed in the Phase IIb portion, expected Q2 2026.
• NAAVIGATE is a Phase IIb/III multicenter, randomized, masked, sham-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sura-vec in subjects with non-proliferative DR (NPDR) without center-involved diabetic macular edema (CI-DME). The primary endpoint is ≥2-step improvement on the diabetic retinopathy severity scale (DRSS) at one year. Following an interim analysis, REGENXBIO and AbbVie will initiate a Phase III expansion, which will include two Phase III trials, including a U.S. trial and a parallel global trial, led by AbbVie.
• All subjects will receive sura-vec at 1.0x10¹² genome copies (GC)/eye, which was evaluated as Dose Level 3 in the Phase II ALTITUDE^® trial of sura-vec, and short-course topical prophylactic steroids.
• At two years post treatment with Dose Level 3 and short-course prophylactic topical steroids in ALTITUDE, no intraocular inflammation was observed (n = 15). The majority of subjects achieved DRSS improvement, with 50% achieving ≥2-step improvement without additional DR treatment. Sura-vec at Dose Level 3 also reduced the risk of disease progression, demonstrating a ≥70% risk reduction in vision-threatening complications compared to historical controls.

Sura-vec for the Treatment of Wet AMD (Suprachoroidal Delivery)

• Enrollment is complete in the Phase II AAVIATE^® trial.

Neurodegenerative Disease: Clemidsogene lanparvovec (RGX-121) is a potential first-in-class treatment for Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) Type II, also known as Hunter syndrome. RGX-111 is an investigational one-time treatment for severe MPS I, also known as Hurler syndrome. These programs are partnered with Nippon Shinyaku.

• In January 2026, the FDA placed a clinical hold on RGX-111 following preliminary analysis of a single case of neoplasm (intraventricular CNS tumor) in a participant treated in its Phase I/II study.
• The FDA also placed a clinical hold on RGX-121 citing similarities to RGX-111, study populations, and shared risk between the clinical studies.
• In February 2026, the FDA issued a complete response letter (CRL) for the RGX-121 BLA. REGENXBIO is working to address concerns in the CRL with the goal of resubmitting the BLA.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $240.9 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $244.9 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by cash used to fund operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2025, and was partially offset by the $110.0 million upfront payment received under the Nippon Shinyaku partnership in March 2025 and $144.5 million in net proceeds received from the royalty monetization with HCRx in May 2025.

Revenues: Revenues were $30.3 million and $170.4 million for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to $21.2 million and $83.3 million for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. The increases were primarily attributable to revenues recognized under our collaboration with Nippon Shinyaku, including $72.9 million of up-front license revenue and $11.8 million of service revenue recognized in 2025, as well as an increase in royalty revenues for Zolgensma and Itvisma.

Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $59.6 million and $228.3 million for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to $50.4 million and $208.5 million for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. The increases were primarily attributable to personnel-related costs and clinical trial expenses, largely driven by RGX-202 pivotal trials, for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, as well as an increase in manufacturing-related expenses Sura-vec, RGX-202 and RGX-121 for the full year 2025.

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $22.4 million and $82.9 million for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to $20.1 million and $76.6 million for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. The increases were largely driven by professional services, consulting and other corporate advisory services.

Net Loss: Net loss was $67.1 million, or $1.30 basic and diluted net loss per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $51.2 million, or $1.01 basic and diluted net loss per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Net loss was $193.9 million, or $3.76 basic and diluted net loss per share, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $227.1 million, or $4.59 basic and diluted net loss per share, for the year ended December 31, 2024.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

REGENXBIO expects its balance in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $240.9 million as of December 31, 2025 to fund its operations into early 2027. This cash runway guidance is based on the Company's current operational plans and excludes the impact of any material payments that may potentially be received from partners or licensees upon the achievement of development or regulatory milestones, or upon the approval or commercialization of product candidates, and excludes any additional potential non-dilutive funding opportunities.
