## What Skye Bioscience does

Skye Bioscience is a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering molecules that modulate G-protein-coupled receptors, or GPCRs, to treat obesity, overweight and metabolic disorders. Its lead candidate, nimacimab, is a humanized IgG4 peripherally restricted negative allosteric modulating antibody that targets the CB1 receptor and shows no cross-reactivity with CB2. Skye acquired nimacimab through its acquisition of Bird Rock Bio, Inc. in August 2023. The company's strategy includes advancing nimacimab as a combination therapy and as a standalone or second-line therapy, including in combination with incretin-based therapies. It also plans to explore additional metabolic indications where inflammation and fibrosis contribute to disease progression. The company cites a global obesity burden in which obesity affected more than 890 million adults as of 2022. It estimates a total addressable market of more than $100 billion annually by 2030. The text notes that the earlier CB1 inverse agonist rimonabant was taken off the market because of severe adverse neuropsychiatric side effects.

| Product or program | What it is | Stage |
|---|---|---|
| Nimacimab | Peripherally restricted CB1 negative allosteric modulating antibody for obesity and overweight | in clinical development |
