As 2025 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on a year of meaningful progress at Seaport. From advancing two programs further into the clinic — with the initiations of the phase 2b BUOY-1 study of GlyphAllo™ in major depressive disorder with our without anxious distress and a phase 1 study of GlyphAgo™ for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder — to strengthening connections through company events and celebrating shared milestones, none of this would be possible without our incredible team’s dedication to serving those living with #neuropsychiatric conditions. We look forward to another year with more time together bringing out the best in each other and continued progress toward delivering new medicines that have the potential to make a difference in the lives of people dealing with #depression and #anxiety. Wishing you a #HappyHolidays from all of us at Seaport!

A candid convo between two biotech leaders: our CEO Daphne Zohar chats with Kate Haviland (former Blueprint Medicines CEO) about building & leading high performing teams, having a “truth-seeking” mentality, small biotechs successfully commercializing medicines & the path to Blueprint's $9B+ acquisition, plus perspectives on the biotech industry today. Here’s a link to the full BiotechTV episode: https://bit.ly/48V8h0Q
$9.5 billion. That is the headline number of Sanofi's acquisition of Blueprint Medicines, but the real story lies in the strategic foresight and resilient culture that made it possible. Seaport Therapeutics CEO Daphne Zohar recently sat down with Kate Haviland, former CEO of Blueprint Medicines, for the Biotech CEO Sisterhood BiotechTV channel to discuss Blueprint's journey from a discovery-stage organization to a commercial powerhouse. Their discussion offers deep insights on leadership for anyone navigating the complex biotech landscape. Here are a few takeaways from their conversation: Courage to commercialize: The old adage was that the biotechs should focus on R&D and hand off to others to commercialize. "We've seen so many examples of companies, Blueprint being one of many, who have brought their innovative medicines forward and have done a tremendous job," Kate says. Data and efficient infrastructure building led the way to smarter commercialization. Navigating for the long term: When Blueprint did an $800 million outlicensing deal with Roche/Genentech, the stock traded down on concerns the transaction might make Blueprint a less compelling acquisition target. Those investors bet wrong. Inside, Kate describes the tensions around focus and diversification, capital allocation and other decisions. "As CEO, you have to constantly balance, how are you building a great, strong business." Resilience through transparency: In 2020, Blueprint faced a Phase 3 setback. Instead of "squinting at the data" to find a silver lining, Kate and her team embraced the clarity of the result, shared it transparently, and pivoted that high-performing team to their next big opportunity. That adaptability separates good companies from great ones. A turning point for representation: This has been a landmark year for M&A deals led by women CEOs. It is undeniable proof that diverse leadership builds exceptionally complex, financially tight, and innovative businesses that drive tremendous value for patients and shareholders alike. As Kate beautifully put it, in this industry, the one thing you know on January 1st is that you are going to be smarter on December 31st. We are part of an ecosystem where new biology constantly teaches us, and where our collective optimism bends the curve of probability to help patients. Let’s continue to support one another as we build this future together.

Today we announced the presentation of data that further validate the ability of our proprietary Glyph™ platform to enhance oral bioavailability and successfully be applied to another class of clinically validated molecules previously held back by poor drug-like properties. The findings, presented at the American Epilepsy Society (#AES2025) Annual Meeting, show the application of Glyph to create an oral prodrug of cannabidiol (CBD), a clinically validated anti-epileptic drug constrained by low oral bioavailability, hepatotoxicity and gastrointestinal side effects. The Glyphed version of CBD enhanced pharmacokinetic properties and significantly improved anti-seizure activity at lower CBD doses. In the head-to-head comparison, GlyphCBD™ (SPT-310 or Glyph Cannabidiol) was shown to prevent seizures at a median effective CBD dose three times lower than a non-Glyph oral CBD formulation. This additional evidence supports the broad applicability of our Glyph platform to improve oral drug delivery across a wide range of therapeutic molecules, underscoring Glyph’s potential to create better medicines across multiple indications.

Recently, members of our team participated in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s (AFSP) annual “Out of the Darkness” walk in Boston to raise awareness for suicide prevention. Our Chief Medical Officer and President of Clinical Development, Antony Loebel (Tony), serves on the AFSP’s board where he brings his industry and clinical experience together to dedicate his time to support the organization’s mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. The link between suicide and major depressive disorder (#MDD) is stark — suicide risk in people with MDD is ~20x that of the general population, and in 2021, suicide ranked in the top three leading causes of death in people ages 10-34, underscoring the high unmet need in neuropsychiatry. Tony’s work closely aligns with our service value at Seaport – we exist to serve individuals with #mentalhealth conditions and deliver potentially life-changing medicines for those living with #depression and #anxiety. We will continue to raise awareness and advocate for suicide prevention.

Wishing you a #HappyThanksgiving from our Seaport team! Ahead of the holiday, members of our team came together to assemble care packages for Rosie’s Place - a women’s shelter in Boston that provides emergency shelter and meals to women in need. We also took time to enjoy each other’s company with a Thanksgiving-themed luncheon and reflect on what we’re grateful for. Coming together and giving back remind us why we’re here at Seaport - to serve those living with #mentalhealth conditions like #depression and #anxiety.
