[8-K] SpyGlass Pharma, Inc. Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

SpyGlass Pharma reported a 2025 net loss of $39.9 million, reflecting higher research and development and administrative spending as it advanced late-stage eye therapies. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $107.4 million as of December 31, 2025, before IPO proceeds.

The company completed an initial public offering in February 2026, raising about $172.5 million and expects its cash to fund planned operations through 2028. Positive 12‑month Phase 1/2 data for the BIM‑IOL System showed 34–42% reductions in intraocular pressure and near-universal freedom from eye drops, with visual acuity around 20/20.

Two registrational Phase 3 BIM‑IOL trials in glaucoma and ocular hypertension are underway, with full enrollment expected in 2027. SpyGlass also plans a first‑in‑human BIM‑DRS trial in the second half of 2026 and four‑year BIM‑IOL first‑in‑human follow‑up data in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Insights

Biopharma equity analyst

SpyGlass pairs strong IPO funding with encouraging glaucoma device data.

SpyGlass Pharma is transitioning into a late-stage glaucoma player. It reported 2025 operating expenses of $41.4 million and a net loss of $39.9 million as it initiated two Phase 3 trials of its BIM‑IOL drug-eluting intraocular lens system.

The IPO in February 2026 raised about $172.5 million, extending cash runway through 2028. This, combined with December 31, 2025 cash and investments of $107.4 million, provides visibility to fund Phase 3 programs and early work on the BIM‑DRS ring system.

Clinically, 12‑month Phase 1/2 BIM‑IOL data showed 34–42% intraocular pressure reductions and near-complete elimination of topical drops, with visual acuity at 20/32 or better for all treated patients and a favorable safety profile. Upcoming milestones include BIM‑DRS first‑in‑human initiation in the second half of 2026 and four‑year BIM‑IOL first‑in‑human follow‑up in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Exhibit 99.1

SpyGlass Pharma Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Earnings and Provides a Corporate Update

•Successfully completed Initial Public Offering (IPO) in February 2026, raising $172.5 million and listing on Nasdaq.

•Reported positive topline 12-month data from Phase 1/2 trial of the Bimatoprost Drug Pad-IOL System (BIM-IOL System) that demonstrated sustained intraocular pressure (IOP) control, elimination of IOP-lowering eye drops for 97% of trial participants, and improved visual performance, with a favorable safety profile.

•Phase 3 trials of BIM-IOL System are ongoing, with enrollment underway and full enrollment expected in 2027.

•Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments expected to fund planned operations through 2028.

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., March 26, 2026 – SpyGlass Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: SGP) (“SpyGlass Pharma” or “Company”), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company, today reported recent business highlights and financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.

“2025 was an important year for SpyGlass, as we advanced the development of our BIM-IOL System, including the initiation of two Phase 3 trials. We look forward to bringing our innovative technology to more patients and more surgeons,” stated Patrick Mooney, chief executive officer of SpyGlass Pharma. “2026 is off to an exceptional start, highlighted by our successful IPO that funds the Phase 3 trials of the BIM-IOL System as well as the planned initiation of a first-in-human trial of the Bimatoprost Drug Ring System (BIM-DRS), which potentially expands our market opportunity. We remain deeply focused on delivering long-term, eye drop-free therapy for the approximately one million glaucoma and ocular hypertension patients who undergo cataract surgery in the United States each year.”

BIM-IOL System Program Highlights

12-Month Phase 1/2 Data of BIM-IOL System. In March 2026, SpyGlass Pharma announced positive topline results from its Phase 1/2 trial of the BIM-IOL System, which evaluated two dose levels of 78-mcg (N=51), the intended commercial dose, and 39-mcg (N=23) compared to a physician's choice of commercially available monofocal IOLs from Alcon, Bausch + Lomb or Johnson & Johnson with twice-daily administration of timolol eyedrops as the control group (N=30). Evaluable patients receiving the BIM-IOL System achieved a time-matched reduction of 34% and 42% in mean IOP from baseline in the high and low dose groups respectively, compared to a 35% reduction in the control group at 8 a.m. Results were similar at the 10 a.m. timepoint. Additionally, 98% of evaluable patients (48 of 49) in the 78-mcg dose group and 96% of evaluable patients (22 of 23) in the 39-mcg dose group were free from all topical IOP-lowering medications 12 months after surgery. The BIM-IOL System demonstrated improved visual performance, in line with the control group with 100% (72 of 72) of trial participants receiving the BIM-IOL System reaching 20/32 or better best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA), and mean BCDVA of 86 letters, which is equivalent to 20/20 vision.

The BIM-IOL System was well tolerated and exhibited a safety profile comparable to routine cataract surgery, with no serious ocular adverse events (AEs) observed. SpyGlass Pharma anticipates presenting additional Phase 1/2 trial results at a future medical meeting.

First Patients Randomized and First Surgeries Completed in Phase 3 Trials. In January 2026, SpyGlass Pharma announced that it randomized the first patients in SGP-005 and SGP-006, the Company’s two registrational Phase 3 clinical trials to demonstrate non-inferiority of the BIM-IOL System in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT) undergoing cataract surgery compared to a standard of care, commercially available IOL with twice-daily administration of timolol eye drops. The co-primary endpoints are the time-matched change in mean IOP from baseline, as well as the proportion of patients achieving BCDVA of 20/40 or better.

36-Month First-in-Human (FIH) Data of BIM-IOL System. In November 2025, at the Interventional Glaucoma Consortium Meeting, SpyGlass Pharma announced 36-month follow-up data from its FIH study of the BIM-IOL System, demonstrating a 37% reduction in mean IOP across all dose groups and reporting that 95% of patients were off all topical IOP-lowering drops. Additionally, 100% of evaluable patients achieved 20/30 or better BCDVA. No product-related AEs were reported.

Presentation at Premier Interventional Glaucoma Medical Meeting. In February 2026, Dr. Nathan Radcliffe, a seasoned glaucoma and cataract surgeon at the New York Eye Surgery Center and member of SpyGlass Pharma’s medical advisory board, presented data generated to date in the FIH and Phase 1/2 trials of the BIM-IOL System and an overview of SGP-005 and SGP-006’s trial designs at the Glaucoma Innovation Summit (GIS) at the American Glaucoma Society’s 2026 Annual Meeting.

Corporate Highlights

•Completion of Initial Public Offering. On February 9, 2026, SpyGlass Pharma closed its initial public offering, raising approximately $172.5 million in gross proceeds, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.

•Strengthened Leadership. In February 2026, upon completion of its IPO, SpyGlass Pharma enhanced its board of directors with the appointment of independent director Habib Dable, who has over 30 years of industry experience, of which ten were in the ophthalmology pharmaceutical buy-and-bill space, and currently serves as an advisor at RA Capital Management. Additionally, in January 2026, SpyGlass Pharma appointed Jean-Frédéric Viret, Ph.D., as chief financial officer. Dr. Viret has over two decades of experience in life sciences and corporate finance with commercial late-stage clinical development companies.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments totaled $107.4 million as of December 31, 2025. This balance excludes proceeds from the Company's initial public offering of $172.5 million before associated underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering costs. With the IPO proceeds, SpyGlass Pharma expects its current cash position to fund planned operations through 2028.

Research and Development Expenses were $7.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $29.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $5.7 million and $20.0 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the hiring of clinical and research personnel and the initiation of the registrational Phase 3 trials of the BIM-IOL System.

General and Administrative Expenses were $5.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $12.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2.0 million and $7.1 million, respectively,

for the same periods of 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher professional services and personnel.

Net Loss was $12.6 million, or ($5.72) per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $8.4 million, or ($4.58) per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $39.9 million, or ($17.98) per basic and diluted share, compared to $29.2 million, or ($16.31) per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Upcoming Milestones

•BIM-DRS: Initiation of the FIH trial in the second half of 2026.

•BIM-IOL: Four-year efficacy and safety follow-up on the FIH trial in fourth quarter of 2026.
