SCYNEXIS, Inc. (SCYX) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

This focuses on maximizing the value of the existing product, ibrexafungerp (BREXAFEMME®), in its current approved indications (VVC and rVVC) within the licensed territories, primarily through the partner, GSK.

You're focused on driving immediate revenue from the existing asset, BREXAFEMME®, in the US market through the commercialization efforts of GSK. The foundation for this is the completion of the New Drug Application (NDA) transfer, which happened on November 19, 2025.

• Support GSK's relaunch of BREXAFEMME® to maximize royalty revenue, which is tiered from mid-single digits to mid-teens.
• Collaborate on payor access strategies to increase coverage for the VVC/rVVC indications in the US.
• Leverage the $146 million in potential annual net sales milestones from GSK by driving commercial success.
• Fund post-marketing studies to highlight BREXAFEMME's clinical advantages over older azole treatments.

The royalty structure for SCYNEXIS, post-relaunch, is set to be in the low to mid single digit range, net of payments to Merck, on the totality of sales across all indications. This is part of the overall potential milestone-based payments totaling up to $503 million from GSK.

To support payor access, you need to know the current landscape. While specific 2025 coverage increases aren't public, the cost structure and prior authorization requirements give you a baseline for access hurdles. The median cost per 1-day supply for ibrexafungerp was reported as $464.06 (IQR $457.16-$483.44). Payor policies, such as Aetna's review in February 2025, set quantity limits, for instance, 4 tablets per month for 6 months for RVVC.

Driving commercial success directly impacts the near-term financial upside tied to the partnership. SCYNEXIS stands to receive up to approximately $146 million in annual net sales milestones following the relaunch. This is a key component of the total potential consideration under the agreement. Here's the quick math: achieving these annual milestones consistently is crucial for SCYNEXIS's near-term non-dilutive capital needs, especially since the Q3 2025 cash balance was $37.9 million.

Highlighting clinical advantages means pushing the data that shows BREXAFEMME is a novel, non-azole option. The drug is the first and only oral, non-azole treatment for VVC. Post-marketing study data, like that from the FURI and CARES trials, which were finalized and reported to GSK in July 2024, showed clinical improvement in 61% of a combined 131 patients with refractory fungal infections. Furthermore, the pivotal Phase 3 CANDLE study demonstrated that 65.4% of patients receiving ibrexafungerp for RVVC achieved clinical success through Week 24, compared to 53.1% for placebo ($\text{p}=0.02$).

You can map the key clinical differentiation points here:

The focus on these data points helps justify payor coverage and physician adoption, which directly feeds the royalty stream. If onboarding takes 14+ days, churn risk rises, so the single-day dosing is a key selling point to emphasize to GSK's sales force.

SCYNEXIS, Inc. (SCYX) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

This means taking ibrexafungerp, the existing product, into new geographic markets or new patient segments (indications) that it hasn't yet captured.

For SCYNEXIS, Inc., Market Development centers on realizing the value of ibrexafungerp outside its current US VVC indications, primarily through existing partnerships and securing new funding streams for pipeline expansion.

Geographic Expansion via Hansoh in Greater China

The commercialization pathway in Greater China is established through the agreement with Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group Company Limited. Hansoh received Chinese (NMPA) approval for ibrexafungerp in the treatment of acute VVC. SCYNEXIS is set to receive a milestone payment upon commercialization, plus royalties of approximately 10% on China sales. The original deal structure included potential milestones up to $122 million, alongside these low double-digit royalties.

Expansion into Hospital/IFI Segments via GSK

Expansion into the hospital setting for Invasive Fungal Infections (IFI) was primarily tied to the Phase 3 MARIO study for invasive candidiasis. Following the lifting of the FDA clinical hold in late April 2025, SCYNEXIS and GSK resolved a disagreement regarding the study's continuation. SCYNEXIS will promptly wind-down and terminate the MARIO study but will receive a total resolution payment package. GSK remains committed to the commercialization of BREXAFEMME for VVC and refractory VVC (rVVC) in the US, with the New Drug Application (NDA) transfer expected to be completed by the end of 2025, enabling potential US regulatory interactions in 2026.

Targeting New Patient Populations with Study Data

Data from the FURI and CARES studies support targeting new patient populations with refractory or difficult-to-treat fungal infections. The completion of the final clinical study reports for FURI, CARES, and NATURE studies triggered a $10 million development milestone payment from GSK in the third quarter of 2024.

• FURI study: Approximately 83% of patients with refractory Candida infections showed positive clinical outcomes.
• FURI positive outcomes included 56% complete/partial response and 27% no disease progression.
• CARES study: Positive outcomes demonstrated in 89% of patients with Candida auris.

Pursuing Non-GSK Partnerships for Remaining Territories

The GSK License Agreement covers the GSK Territory, excluding Greater China and certain other countries already licensed to third parties. To support the development of the next-generation candidate, SCY-247, SCYNEXIS is actively exploring non-dilutive funding opportunities. The company ended Q3 2025 with cash, cash equivalents and investments of $37.9 million, which, combined with the expected $24.8 million from GSK in Q4 2025, projects a cash runway of greater than two years. This financial position helps support internal development while pursuing external partnerships for remaining territories or future pipeline assets.

SCYNEXIS, Inc. (SCYX) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at the next big leap for SCYNEXIS, Inc. (SCYX) here, moving beyond the current product to introduce a second-generation asset, SCY-247, into the existing antifungal market. This is pure Product Development under the Ansoff lens, leveraging the established market for new antifungals.

Financially, the groundwork for this push is secure for the near term. You saw the Q3 2025 net loss was reported at $8.6 million, but the real story is the capital infusion. SCYNEXIS, Inc. is set to receive a one-time payment of $24.8 million from GSK in Q4 2025, which is key. This payment, stemming from the resolution regarding the Phase 3 MARIO study termination, directly funds SCY-247's advancement. Honestly, this influx, added to the $37.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments on hand as of September 30, 2025, extends the cash runway to beyond two years. That keeps the lights on and the pipeline moving.

The development plan for SCY-247, the second-generation fungerp, is clearly laid out, building on positive Phase 1 oral data. We need to see both IV and oral options available, so the next steps are critical.

Here's the quick math on the immediate clinical plan:

• Advance SCY-247 by initiating the Phase 1 IV formulation study in Q1 2026 to establish both oral and IV options.
• Start the planned Phase 2 proof-of-concept study for SCY-247 in invasive candidiasis, with data expected in 2026.
• Use the Q4 2025 one-time payment of $24.8 million from GSK to fund SCY-247's development, extending the cash runway beyond two years.
• Seek non-dilutive funding, like government grants (e.g., BARDA), to accelerate SCY-247's IFI development.

The Phase 1 oral study already gave us some confidence. It assessed single ascending doses (SAD) up to 900mg and multiple ascending doses (MAD) up to 300mg once daily for seven days, involving 66 subjects receiving SCY-247 and 22 receiving placebo. What this estimate hides is the potential for a better tolerability profile, as orally administered SCY-247 achieved target exposures at doses lower than the first-generation fungerp.

To map out the current state and immediate future for this product candidate, look at this snapshot:

Also, remember the upside from the existing product relaunch. Following the BREXAFEMME relaunch, SCYNEXIS, Inc. stands to receive up to approximately $146 million in annual net sales milestones, plus royalties in the low to mid single digit range. That's a separate, but related, financial stream supporting the overall business while SCY-247 progresses.

SCYNEXIS, Inc. (SCYX) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

This is the riskiest quadrant, requiring a new product in a new market, which for SCYNEXIS, Inc. means moving beyond the core fungerp class or the infectious disease space.

For SCYNEXIS, Inc., operating with a net loss of $8.6 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and having an accumulated deficit of $397.4 million as of that date, diversification into a new area would require significant capital allocation outside of its current fungerp development focus, which saw R&D expenses of $5.5 million in Q3 2025.

The company's near-term liquidity is bolstered by an expected one-time payment from GSK totaling $24.8 million in Q4 of 2025, which, combined with existing cash, provides a cash runway of more than two years, potentially funding initial exploration outside the core area.

Exploring non-infectious disease avenues would need to be weighed against the current pipeline focus, which aims to release clinical proof of concept data for the second-generation fungerp, SCY-247, in invasive candidiasis in 2026, and the potential for up to approximately $146 million in annual net sales milestones from the BREXAFEMME® relaunch.

External funding mechanisms, such as the five-year federal grant supporting academic research that includes next-generation fungerps, which expects to receive about $7 million annually, could potentially be structured to support non-fungal discovery efforts if the collaboration scope is broad enough.

Here are potential diversification actions SCYNEXIS, Inc. might consider:

• Initiate discovery research into non-fungerp, novel anti-infective drug classes for bacterial or viral resistance.
• Explore licensing the fungerp platform technology for non-infectious disease applications, like oncology or dermatology.
• Acquire a pre-clinical asset in a completely new therapeutic area, such as rare diseases, to balance the pipeline risk.
• Establish a new R&D collaboration outside of antifungals, leveraging the company's expertise in drug-resistant pathogens.

The operating cash burn for the first nine months of 2025 was $23.7 million, which sets a baseline for the capital required to sustain any new, non-core R&D initiative.
