Item 8.01 Other Events.
On June 10, 2024, Skye Bioscience, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” and “our”) issued a press release announcing that its Phase 2a clinical trial of SBI-100 Ophthalmic Emulsion (“OE”) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension did not meet its primary endpoint for lowering intraocular pressure. The Company intends to discontinue the clinical development of SBI-100 OE and all research and development associated with SBI-100 including its ophthalmology pipeline to direct its clinical development resources to its obesity program. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The press release will also be available under the “Investors” section of the Company’s website.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding our product development, business strategy, the timing of clinical trials and published findings, and expected operating runway. Such statements and other statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not descriptions of historical facts are forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. If such risks or uncertainties materialize or such assumptions prove incorrect, our business, operating results, financial condition, and stock price could be materially negatively affected. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology including “anticipated,” “plans,” “goal,” “focus,” “aims,” “intends,” “believes,” “can,” “could,” “challenge,” “predictable,” “will,” “would,” “may” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. We operate in a rapidly changing environment, and new risks emerge from time to time. As a result, it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements the Company may make. Risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially include, among others, our capital resources, uncertainty regarding the results of future testing and development efforts and other risks that are described in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the “Risk Factors” section of Skye’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as expressly required by law, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
