SCYNEXIS, Inc. (SCYX) Bundle
You're digging into SCYNEXIS, Inc. (SCYX) to map out their current business engine, and frankly, the picture is one of a sharp strategic pivot. After the major out-licensing deal with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the company is now running as a focused R&D and licensing entity, not a commercial seller. This shift is key: they are using their $37.9 million in cash (as of September 30, 2025) to push their pipeline, like SCY-247, while banking on upfront cash and future royalties, evidenced by the recent $24.8 million milestone payment from GSK in Q4 2025. Below, I've laid out the nine blocks of this new structure so you can see precisely how they plan to generate returns from their novel 'fungerps' platform now. It's a defintely different model than last year.
SCYNEXIS, Inc. (SCYX) - Canvas Business Model: Key Partnerships
You're looking at the core relationships that allow SCYNEXIS, Inc. to commercialize its assets and advance its pipeline, so let's break down the hard numbers tied to these alliances as of late 2025.
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) for global commercialization of Brexafemme
The relationship with GSK centers on the global commercialization of Brexafemme (ibrexafungerp) outside of Greater China. You should note the recent structural changes in this partnership.
- SCYNEXIS completed the transfer of the BREXAFEMME New Drug Application (NDA) to GSK on November 19, 2025.
- SCYNEXIS is set to receive up to approximately $145.5 million in annual net sales milestones following a GSK relaunch.
- Royalties due to SCYNEXIS from GSK sales are in the low to mid-single digit percentage range, net of payments owed to Merck.
- In Q4 2025, SCYNEXIS will receive a one-time payment totaling $24.8 million from GSK to resolve the disagreement regarding the termination of the Phase 3 MARIO study (this comprised a $22 million payment plus $2.3 million for wind-down activities).
- License agreement revenue recognized from GSK for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $0.3 million.
The original GSK License Agreement outlined a significant potential payout structure based on annual net sales in the GSK Territory, which you can see detailed here:
| Annual Net Sales Threshold (GSK Territory) | Potential Milestone Payments to SCYNEXIS |
| Up to $200 million | Total of $64 million / $54.25 million / $46.5 million |
| Between $300 million and $500 million | Total of $45.5 million / $45.5 million / $39 million |
| At $750 million and $1 billion | $35 million / $35 million / $30 million paid at each threshold |
The total potential milestone amount under the original agreement was up to $242.5 million.
Hansoh for development and commercialization of ibrexafungerp in China
The partnership with Hansoh covers the exclusive rights for Greater China. Hansoh has made significant progress on the regulatory front.
- Hansoh recently received Chinese (NMPA) approval for ibrexafungerp for the treatment of acute VVC.
- SCYNEXIS is eligible to receive a milestone payment from Hansoh upon commercialization in China.
- Royalties on China net product sales are approximately 10%.
The original licensing terms included:
- An upfront payment of $10 million to SCYNEXIS.

SCYNEXIS, Inc. (SCYX) - Canvas Business Model: Key Activities
You're managing a biotech firm transitioning from development focus to milestone realization, so the key activities shift from pure discovery to execution and partnership management. For SCYNEXIS, Inc. (SCYX) as of late 2025, the focus is clearly on advancing the next-gen candidate while monetizing the existing asset through the GSK partnership.
Advancing the second-generation antifungal candidate, SCY-247, through clinical trials.
The primary internal activity centers on the development of SCY-247, the second-generation fungerp. This involved completing the Phase 1 study, which delivered positive SAD/MAD (Single Ascending Dose/Multiple Ascending Dose) data in September 2025. The next concrete step is initiating further trials, specifically a Phase 1 study for the IV formulation and a Phase 2 study targeting invasive candidiasis. The goal here is to generate clinical proof of concept data in 2026.
This pipeline advancement is supported by the company's recent financial allocation:
- Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, totaled $5.5 million.
- This R&D spend for Q3 2025 was a decrease of 33% compared to the $8.1 million reported in Q3 2024.
Managing the transfer of the Brexafemme NDA to GSK, completed in November 2025.
A major operational activity was the formal transfer of the BREXAFEMME (ibrexafungerp) New Drug Application (NDA) to GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), which was officially completed on November 19, 2025. This action directly enables GSK to start regulatory interactions with the FDA regarding a U.S. relaunch for vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and refractory VVC (rVVC). The activity is purely focused on fulfilling the partnership terms to unlock future revenue streams.
The financial expectation tied to this activity is substantial, contingent on GSK's relaunch success:
| Financial Metric | Value/Range | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Annual Net Sales Milestones | Up to $145.5 million | Per year upon relaunch |
| Royalty Rate | Low to mid single digit percentage range | Net of payments due to Merck |
| NDA Transfer Date | November 19, 2025 | Completion date |
Also related to the GSK relationship, SCYNEXIS managed the resolution of a disagreement concerning the Phase 3 MARIO study termination, resulting in a one-time payment of $24.8 million expected in Q4 of 2025.
Core research and development (R&D) of the proprietary triterpenoid antifungal platform.
The foundational activity remains the stewardship of the fungerps class, which SCYNEXIS, Inc. pioneered. While the focus is on SCY-247, the overall R&D function supports the entire platform. The company's operational expenses reflect this ongoing commitment, even as spending was reduced year-over-year.
Here's a look at the operating expense structure for the third quarter of 2025:
- Research and Development Expenses (Q3 2025): $5.5 million.
- Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (Q3 2025): $3.3 million.
- SG&A increased by 13% from $2.9 million in Q3 2024, driven by higher professional fees.
Securing and maintaining global intellectual property for the fungerps class.
Protecting the fungerps class is a critical, though often less visible, key activity. This involves the legal and administrative work to secure and defend patents globally, which underpins the value of both ibrexafungerp and SCY-247. While specific IP maintenance costs aren't itemized separately, these costs are embedded within the operating expenses, particularly SG&A, which was $3.3 million in Q3 2025. The successful transfer of the BREXAFEMME NDA to GSK on November 19, 2025, is itself a validation of the underlying IP strength, which underpins the potential for up to $145.5 million in annual milestones.
The company's financial position post-milestone receipt is designed to support these long-term activities:
- Cash, cash equivalents, and investments as of September 30, 2025: $37.9 million.
- Projected cash runway after receiving the $24.8 million GSK payment in Q4 2025: greater than two years.
SCYNEXIS, Inc. (SCYX) - Canvas Business Model: Key Resources
You're looking at the core assets SCYNEXIS, Inc. relies on to execute its strategy as of late 2025. These aren't just things they own; they are the engines driving future value, especially given the recent strategic shifts with GSK.
The most tangible resource right now is the liquidity position. Honestly, having a solid cash buffer is critical when you're advancing a pipeline.
| Financial Metric | Amount as of September 30, 2025 | Context/Notes |
| Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments | $37.9 million | This figure is post-Q3 2025 operations. |

The intellectual property around the antifungal platform is the bedrock. This technology is what underpins both the approved product and the next-generation candidate.
- Proprietary 'fungerps' platform, representing a novel class of triterpenoid antifungals.
- Ibrexafungerp (Brexafemme) New Drug Application (NDA) and related intellectual property, with transfer activities to GSK ongoing before the end of 2025.
- SCY-247, the second-generation fungerp, which showed positive SAD/MAD data in September 2025, supporting progression toward IV formulation Phase 1 and oral Phase 2 studies for invasive candidiasis.
The team is definitely a key resource, especially given the complexity of infectious disease drug development and the ongoing partnership management.
Here's a quick look at the recent operational burn rate that this cash must support:
- Q3 2025 Net Loss: $8.59 million.
- Q3 2025 Research and Development Expenses: $5.5 million.
- Q3 2025 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: $3.3 million.
Management projects that after receiving the one-time payments from GSK in Q4 2025, the company's cash runway will be greater than two years.
The structure of the GSK agreement itself is a resource, providing future potential upside.
- Potential annual net sales milestones from Brexafemme relaunch: up to approximately $146 million.
- Royalty structure on Brexafemme sales: in the low to mid single digit range, net of payments to Merck.
The executive leadership, including President and Chief Executive Officer David Angulo, M.D., guides the strategic deployment of these assets.
SCYNEXIS, Inc. (SCYX) - Canvas Business Model: Value Propositions
You're looking at the core reasons why SCYNEXIS, Inc. (SCYX) products matter to the market, focusing on what they offer that others don't, grounded in the latest data.
First-in-class, oral antifungal (Brexafemme) for vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC).
Brexafemme (ibrexafungerp) is the first representative of a novel class of antifungal agents, triterpenoids (fungerps), which is the first new class since 2001. The product is approved in the U.S. for treating vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and for the reduction of recurrent VVC (RVVC). The U.S. wholesale acquisition cost was set at $475 per course. SCYNEXIS is actively working to transfer the BREXAFEMME New Drug Application (NDA) to GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) by the end of 2025. Following the relaunch, SCYNEXIS stands to receive up to approximately $146 million in annual net sales milestones plus royalties in the low to mid single digit range. Furthermore, Hansoh received Chinese (NMPA) approval for ibrexafungerp for acute VVC, which entitles SCYNEXIS to a milestone payment and royalties of approximately 10% on China sales.
Novel mechanism of action that kills the fungus, addressing drug resistance.
The triterpenoid class, to which Brexafemme belongs, functions as a novel glucan synthase inhibitor. This mechanism allows Brexafemme to kill the fungal cells, a key advantage over azole drugs that only inhibit growth. The next-generation candidate, SCY-247, has shown effective exposures against resistant Candida strains in models. This novel approach is critical given the growing pressure on existing treatments.
SCY-247, a second-generation candidate with potential oral and IV formulations.
SCY-247 is the second-generation compound from this novel class, designed with the potential for both oral and intravenous (IV) formulations. Positive Phase 1 Single Ascending Dose/Multiple Ascending Dose (SAD/MAD) study results were announced on September 30, 2025. The oral doses achieved target exposures at lower levels compared to the first-generation medication, suggesting better tolerability. The Phase 1 study evaluated SAD doses from 50mg to 900mg and MAD doses from 50mg to 300mg in 88 healthy participants. The company anticipates initiating a Phase 1 study with the IV formulation of SCY-247 in Q1 2026. The plan is to release clinical proof of concept data in invasive candidiasis in 2026.
SCYNEXIS, Inc. (SCYX) Pipeline and Market Context
| Metric | Value/Status | Context |
|---|---|---|
| SCY-247 Phase 1 Completion | September 2025 | Positive SAD/MAD results reported. |
| SCY-247 IV Formulation Phase 1 Start | Q1 2026 (Anticipated) | Planned next step for the second-generation candidate. |
| SCY-247 Proof of Concept Data | 2026 (Anticipated) | Planned for invasive candidiasis indication. |
| Antifungal Market Size (Projected) | USD 7500 million by 2025 | Driven by resistance to conventional treatments. |
Addressing high unmet medical need in life-threatening, drug-resistant fungal infections.
Invasive fungal diseases (IFD) are a growing threat, causing over 6.5 million infections and 3.8 million deaths annually worldwide. Mortality rates for IFDs often surpass 50 per cent even with recommended treatments. Specifically, Candida bloodstream infections/invasive candidiasis report around 995,000 deaths annually, a 66.3 per cent mortality rate. For invasive aspergillosis, the crude annual mortality rate is approximately 85 per cent. Drug-resistant Aspergillus infections show death rates ranging from 47%-88%. The WHO lists critical priority fungi with mortality rates reaching as high as 88%.
- IFDs disproportionately impact severely ill and immunocompromised patients.
- The pipeline for new antifungal drugs is insufficient to meet the need.
- The '95-95 by 2025' initiative aims to diagnose and treat 95% of serious fungal infections.

The most immediate cash infusion comes from the resolution with GSK, which included a one-time milestone payment totaling $24.8 million, expected in Q4 2025. This contrasts with the recurring, though smaller, revenue from the ongoing license agreement, which brought in $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Here's a quick look at the key components making up the current revenue profile:
| Revenue Component | Specific Amount/Range | Period/Context |
| One-time GSK Milestone Payment | $24.8 million | Q4 2025 (Related to MARIO study resolution) |
| License Agreement Revenue | $0.3 million | Q3 2025 |
| Potential Future Annual Net Sales Milestones (GSK) | Up to approximately $146 million | Annual, post-BREXAFEMME relaunch |
| Tiered Royalties (BREXAFEMME Net Sales) | Low to mid single digit range | On net sales, net of Merck payments |
The long-term, product-based revenue hinges on the commercial success of BREXAFEMME following its transfer and relaunch by GSK. This future stream is structured with two main parts:
- Tiered royalties on net sales of BREXAFEMME, calculated in the low to mid single digit range, after accounting for payments due to Merck.
- Potential future annual net sales milestones from GSK, which could reach up to approximately $146 million.
It's important to note that the royalty structure is net of payments to Merck, reflecting SCYNEXIS, Inc.'s prior development arrangement. The company also previously received a $10.0 million development milestone in Q2 2025, which is now a license receivable on the balance sheet.
