Sandeep Kulkarni: Strong Execution on tibulizumab Programs, Funding Expected Through 2028
"The second quarter was marked by strong execution across our tibulizumab programs, with enrollment now complete in both TibuSHIELD and TibuSURE-each exceeding its initial enrollment target-underscoring growing conviction in dual IL-17 and BAFF inhibition," said Sandeep Kulkarni, CEO. "We are excited to nominate polymyalgia rheumatica as the third indication for tibulizumab, a debilitating disorder with high unmet need and important evidence supporting the roles of both IL-17 and BAFF. With cash expected to fund planned operations through at least the end of 2028, we believe we are well positioned-operationally, financially, and scientifically-as we approach our first topline readout in the fourth quarter of this year."

Zura Bio Announces Updates on Tibulizumab Programs
Zura Bio announced several tibulizumab program updates. Zura has completed enrollment of the Phase 2 TibuSHIELD trial of tibulizumab in adults with HS. The TibuSHIELD trial exceeded the target enrollment, with 247 participants enrolled. Zura remains on track to complete enrollment of the Phase 2 TibuSURE trial of tibulizumab in adults with early diffuse cutaneous SSc in early July. The TibuSURE trial has already exceeded the target enrollment of 80 participants. Exceeding enrollment targets in both TibuSHIELD and TibuSURE reflects the significant unmet need facing patients with HS and SSc. Topline data from TibuSHIELD are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026. Topline data from TibuSURE are expected in H1 2027. Building on tibulizumab's bispecific mechanism targeting both interleukin-17 and B cell activating factor, Zura plans to initiate a Phase 2 study in a third immune-mediated indication by year end 2026. Indication expansion of tibulizumab reflects Zura's belief in the broad potential of IL-17 and BAFF dual pathway inhibition across immune-mediated diseases. Zura plans to announce the new indication prior to study initiation.
