Study demonstrates statistically significant and clinically relevant improvements in 3 Cardinal Symptoms and SNOT-22 scores at 24 weeks
Statistically significant improvements in efficacy were observed as early as 2 weeks
Primary endpoint met with no serious adverse events observed
LYR-220, Lyra’s second product candidate, is a long-acting anti-inflammatory therapy in development for CRS patients with and without polyps who have recurrent symptoms despite prior ethmoid sinus surgery
Conference call today at
LYR-220 significantly improved important patient reported outcome measures compared to sham control:
- Statistically significant improvement in a composite of the 3 cardinal symptoms of CRS (nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, facial pain/pressure) at week 24 (-1.50; p=0.02)
- Statistically significant improvements in Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) score compared to sham control at week 24 (-16.8; p=0.007)
- Statistically significant improvement in a composite of the 3 cardinal symptoms of CRS (nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, facial pain/pressure) as early as week 4 (-0.87; p=0.037)
- Statistically significant improvements in SNOT-22 were observed as early as week 2 (-9.0; p=0.031)
- Improvements in SNOT-22 were sustained throughout the study and clinically meaningful with almost twice the minimal clinically important difference observed at week 24 compared to sham (-16.8 points)
LYR-220 is a bioresorbable nasal matrix designed to deliver six months of continuous anti-inflammatory medication (mometasone furoate; MF) to the sinonasal passages for the treatment of CRS. Topline results from the BEACON study of LYR-220 will be presented at the
“We are thrilled with these results in patients with recurrent symptoms following sinus surgery demonstrating statistically significant improvements in 3CS and SNOT-22 scores, both important efficacy outcomes,” said
"We believe the results achieved with LYR-220 in this patient population demonstrate the broad potential of Lyra’s technology to offer meaningful clinical benefit across the spectrum of CRS patients,” said Maria Palasis, Ph.D., President and CEO,
“The BEACON study results are very promising, demonstrating significant, long-lasting improvements in patient outcomes with a simple, in-office procedure,” said

About the BEACON Phase 2 Clinical Study
The Phase 2 BEACON study is a sham-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate safety and efficacy of the LYR-220 (7500µg MF) matrix, over a 24-week period, in symptomatic adult CRS patients who have had a prior bilateral ethmoid sinus surgery. The study consists of two parts: Part 1 was designed primarily to assess the feasibility and tolerability of two 7500µg MF matrix designs; in Part 2, 42 patients have been randomized 1:1 to receive LYR-220 or sham control.
About LYR-220
LYR-220 is an investigational product candidate for use in CRS patients who continue to require treatment to manage CRS symptoms despite prior ethmoid sinus surgery, a population which represents approximately forty percent of the four million CRS patients who fail medical management annually. LYR-220 is a bioresorbable nasal matrix that is designed to deliver six months of continuous anti-inflammatory medication (7500µg MF) to the sinonasal passages for the treatment of CRS.
