Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Boston, MA – November 11, 2026 - VectorY Therapeutics (“VectorY”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering vectorized antibody therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced €74.5 million ($83.5 million) in new financing to advance its clinical and preclinical pipeline. The financing includes new investors Angelini Ventures, Invest-NL and the EIB, alongside returning investors Forbion, through its Growth and Ventures strategies, EQT Life Sciences, MRL Ventures, Insight Partners, BGV, Eli Lilly and Company, and the ALS Investment Fund. The substantial participation of existing and new investors underscores confidence in VectorY’s platform, pipeline and potential to create long-term value.
Proceeds will support the advancement of VectorY’s lead program, VTx-002, through key clinical milestones, including the final readout of the PIONEER-ALS® Phase 1/2 clinical study. The global study is evaluating VTx-002 in people living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In September 2026, VectorY announced the expansion of PIONEER-ALS from 12 to 36 participants, broadening the study’s evaluation of the investigational therapy. The financing will also support VectorY’s broader pipeline, including VTx-003 for Huntington’s disease and additional programs targeting neurodegenerative diseases.
“Neurodegenerative diseases represent some of the most complex challenges in medicine, and patients and families urgently need new treatment options. This financing reflects strong confidence in our team, our platform and the potential of our pipeline,” said Jim Scibetta, chief executive officer, VectorY. “It will support the advancement of VTx-002 through important clinical milestones, including the final readout of PIONEER-ALS, while enabling us to leverage our vectorized antibody platform to expand its application in multiple neurodegenerative diseases across our pipeline. We are grateful for the continued support of our existing investors and welcome our new partners as we work to advance care for patients.”
“We believe VectorY is building a compelling approach to one of the most challenging areas of medicine. Its progress with VTx-002, including the expansion of the PIONEER-ALS study, is an important step in evaluating the program’s potential. This financing will help the company advance that work while developing additional programs, including VTx-003 for Huntington’s disease. We are pleased to continue supporting VectorY as it translates its platform into potential pioneering treatment options for people living with neurodegenerative diseases,” said Wouter Joustra, General Partner at Forbion.
