**NEW YORK** – November 5, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Lexeo Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: LXEO), a clinical stage genetic medicine company dedicated to pioneering novel treatments for cardiovascular diseases, today provided business updates across its portfolio and reported third quarter 2025 financial results.

"We continue to build significant momentum across our cardiac pipeline, and the recent financing strengthens our ability to execute on essential manufacturing and commercial activities for LX2006 as we look towards registrational readiness," said R. Nolan Townsend, Chief Executive Officer of Lexeo Therapeutics. "Interim clinical data for LX2006 demonstrate meaningful benefit across measures of cardiac health and neurologic function, including improvements in the modified Friedreich Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS), and we believe this therapy could represent a transformational step forward in the standard of care for FA. Furthermore with enrollment complete in the HEROIC-PKP2 Phase I/II trial, we look forward to sharing new clinical data for LX2020 in January."

**Business and Program Updates**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**LX2006 in Friedreich Ataxia (FA):** 

o**<u>Regulatory Progress</u>**: In response to questions regarding the possibility of a faster path to a Biologics License Application (BLA), the FDA has indicated openness to a BLA submission for accelerated approval that includes clinical data from the ongoing Phase I/II studies of LX2006 pooled with new clinical data to be generated in the planned pivotal study. To enable pooling of these data to support licensure, Lexeo plans to submit enhanced manufacturing comparability data and additional nonclinical data. The FDA also previously agreed to evaluate the co-primary endpoint of left ventricular mass index (LVMI) at a time point earlier than 12 months. Lexeo continues to engage with the FDA on the pivotal trial protocol and enhanced comparability. There have been no changes to the previously disclosed alignment with FDA on key parameters related to the LX2006 planned registrational study to date.

o**<u>Interim Clinical Data</u>:** In October 2025, Lexeo shared interim clinical data from both ongoing Phase I/II studies of LX2006, which continue to show encouraging safety and efficacy:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•18% mean improvement in LVMI at 6 months and 23% mean improvement at 12 months in participants with abnormal baseline LVMI (n=6), exceeding the 10% FDA-aligned efficacy threshold for the planned pivotal study

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪Improvement or stabilization in secondary cardiac biomarkers high-sensitivity troponin I and lateral wall thickness in 14 of 16 participants (n=16)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪2.0-point mean improvement in mFARS from baseline at latest visit across all participants with <u>></u>6-months of follow-up (n=16)

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪Previously reported cardiac biopsy data from the SUNRISE-FA trial (n=8) showed that all study participants achieved increases in frataxin protein expression from baseline at 3 months, exceeding FDA-aligned efficacy threshold for frataxin expression

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪Treatment with LX2006 has been generally well tolerated with no Grade 3+ SAEs to date, no clinically significant complement activation, and minimal, transient liver function test (LFT) elevations

o**<u>Analytical Comparability</u>:** In November 2025, FDA approved the analytical comparability report establishing comparability between LX2006 HEK293 and Sf9 manufacturing processes. This approval endorses use of the optimized, Sf9 final commercial manufacturing process for LX2006 in the planned pivotal study and clears comparability requirements to begin dosing patients. In October 2025, Lexeo shared manufacturing data from this report demonstrating similar frataxin expression in vitro between the two processes, as well as the high quality of the Sf9 material with minimal residual DNA.

o**<u>Next Steps</u>**<u>:</u> Lexeo plans to initiate a registrational study in the first half of 2026, pending finalization of the trial protocol in early 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**LX2020 in PKP2-ACM:** 

o**<u>Dosing Update:</u>** Enrollment is complete with ten participants dosed in the HEROIC-PKP2 Phase I/II clinical trial, including three participants in Cohort 1 at the low dose (2×10<sup>13</sup> vg/kg), three participants in Cohort 2 at the high dose (6×10<sup>13</sup> vg/kg), and four participants in dose-expansion Cohort 3 at the high dose (6×10<sup>13</sup> vg/kg).

o**<u>Low-dose (Cohort 1) Interim Update</u>**<u>:</u> In October 2025, Lexeo shared interim clinical data for the three participants dosed in Cohort 1 (n=2 at 12 months; n=1 at 9 months), assessing multiple cardiac parameters at latest visit relative to baseline:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪Arrythmia burden: premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) were reduced in one of three participants and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) was reduced or stable in two of three participants

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪Electrical activity: QRS duration was normalized or stable in two of three participants and T-wave inversions were reduced in two of three participants

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪Cardiac function: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) were stable in three of three participants

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪Safety: LX2020 continues to be generally well tolerated across participants with no clinically significant complement activation. One Grade 3 serious adverse event of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) was observed three months after dosing in a single participant in the high dose cohort and assessed as possibly treatment related. The participant was successfully treated with anti-arrhythmic medication and was discharged with no additional intervention required

o**<u>Next Steps:</u>** Lexeo expects to provide a substantive LX2020 data update in January. This data update is expected to include safety data for all ten participants dosed, clinical efficacy data for five high-dose participants at <u>></u>6 months of follow up and three low-dose participants at <u>></u>12 months of follow up, and cardiac biopsy data from five participants in high-dose Cohorts 2 and 3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Closed $154 Million Equity Financing:** In October 2025, Lexeo announced the closing of an oversubscribed $154 million equity financing to further advance development of its cardiac pipeline and to support registrational readiness activities for LX2006.

**Third Quarter Financial Results**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Cash Position:** As of September 30, 2025, cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities were $122.8 million, excluding the $153.8 million of proceeds from the October 2025 public offering and concurrent PIPE which Lexeo believes will be sufficient to fund operations into 2028.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Research and Development Expenses:** Research and Development expenses were $15.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $23.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**General and Administrative Expenses:** General and Administrative expenses were $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $8.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Net Loss:** Net loss was $20.3 million or $0.33 per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $29.5 million or $0.89 per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
