Vor Bio Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
First patient dosed in UPSTREAM SjD, a global Phase 3 clinical trial assessing telitacicept in primary Sjögren’s disease
$75 million private placement strengthens balance sheet and supports telitacicept global clinical development
Pro-forma cash and investment balance of $530.2 million as of December 31, 2025 expected to provide runway into early 2029
BOSTON, March 30, 2026 -- Vor Bio (Nasdaq: VOR), a clinical-stage biotechnology company transforming the treatment of autoimmune diseases, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, and provided a corporate update.
“Over the past six months, Vor Bio repositioned the company around telitacicept and moved quickly to build momentum. We are seeing strong engagement from key opinion leaders and principal investigators, which is critical as we advance the global development of telitacicept. In the first quarter, we initiated our global Phase 3 trial in primary Sjogren’s disease and subsequently dosed our first patient within weeks. For myasthenia gravis, we anticipate topline data from the global trial in the first half of 2027 which will prove to be a significant catalyst for both the company and MG landscape,” said Jean-Paul Kress, M.D., Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Vor Bio. “Importantly, the promising Phase 3 results seen from telitacicept in China across multiple indications, including potential best-in-disease profiles in generalized myasthenia gravis and primary Sjögren’s disease, provide an invaluable foundation as we work to bring a meaningful new treatment option to patients living with these serious autoimmune diseases.”
Program Highlights
Telitacicept: a potential best- and first-in-class dual BAFF/APRIL inhibitor in development for generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) and primary Sjögren’s disease (SjD)
Generalized Myasthenia Gravis
- UPSTREAM MG (formerly RemeMG)
- Enrollment ongoing globally in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 registrational trial with an open-label extension assessing the efficacy and safety of telitacicept in gMG
- Topline data anticipated in 1H 2027
Primary Sjögren’s Disease
- UPSTREAM SjD
- Initiated enrollment and dosed first patient in global randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 registrational trial assessing the efficacy and safety of telitacicept in SjD
Corporate Updates
- Appointed Andrew Levin, M.D., Ph.D., Partner at RA Capital Management, and Wouter Joustra, General Partner at Forbion, to its Board of Directors
- Announced a $75 million private placement with TCGX on March 27, 2026, to advance the clinical development of telitacicept, including the ongoing global Phase 3 clinical trials for gMG and SjD
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results
- Cash Position: Pro-forma cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $530.2 million as of December 31, 2025, including the $75.0 million of gross proceeds from the March 2026 private placement, which are projected to fund operations into early 2029.
- Research & Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $19.2 million, compared to $25.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease of $6.1 million was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation and personnel costs as the Company had lower headcount following the implementation of the Restructuring Plan and reduced spend on its previous programs, trem-cel and VCAR33, partially offset by the increases in spend on telitacicept – gMG and telitacicept – SjD, as the Company began research and development activities for the new programs. R&D expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $321.5 million, compared to $93.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The $228.2 million increase was primarily attributable to the expense incurred in 2025 for the purchase of the telitacicept license and the increased spend for telitacicept – gMG and telitacicept – SjD, partially offset by decreases in personnel costs due the lower headcount following the implementation of the Restructuring Plan, and decreased spend on the Company’s previous programs.
- General & Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $16.8 million, compared to $6.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase of $10.8 million was primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation, personnel costs and professional service costs. G&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $50.1 million, compared to $27.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase of $22.2 million was primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation, personnel costs and professional service costs.
- Net Income/Loss: Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $1,722.8 million, compared to $30.7 million net loss for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase of $1,753.5 million was primarily due to the gain on change in fair value of the outstanding liability-classified warrants in the fourth quarter of 2025. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $696.0 million, compared to $116.9 million net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024. The $579.1 million increase in loss was primarily due to the loss on change in fair value of the outstanding liability-classified warrants and the purchase of the telitacicept license.
About Telitacicept
Telitacicept is a novel recombinant fusion protein designed to treat autoimmune diseases through dual inhibition of BLyS (BAFF) and APRIL - two cytokines essential to B cell and plasma cell survival. This dual-target mechanism reduces autoreactive B cells and autoantibody production, key drivers of autoimmune pathology.
Telitacicept is approved in China for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). Additional regulatory filings in China are underway, including biologics license applications for primary Sjögren’s disease (SjD) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN).
Vor Bio is advancing global development programs across major autoimmune indications, including a global Phase 3 trial in gMG and SjD to support potential regulatory approvals in the United States, Europe, and Japan.
