Neumora Therapeutics said on Thursday its experimental drug to treat depression failed to meet the main goal of a late-stage study.
Neumora Therapeutics is set to release data from the phase 3 KOASTAL-1 study using Navacaprant for the treatment of patients with MDD by the end of 2024; other data in 2025. Navacaprant showed significant efficacy in a phase 2 study for MDD and is also being tested for bipolar depression, with phase 2 data expected in late 2025. Neumora has $341.3 million in cash, enough to fund operations until mid-2026, minimizing near-term dilution risk unless management opts otherwise.
Mizuho reiterated its bullish stance on biotech Neumora Therapeutics Inc. on Wednesday, and predicted a positive outcome when the company reports data from a late-stage trial of its treatment for major depressive disorder, or MDD, later this year.
