Neuphoria Provides First Quarter 2025 Business Updates
Cash runway into Q3 2026 AFFIRM-1 Phase 3 clinical trial of BNC-210 in social anxiety disorder on track for topline readout in Q3 2025 α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor PAM MK-1167 partnered with Merck and in Phase 2 clinical trial in Alzheimer's BURLINGTON, Mass., May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: NEUP) ('Neuphoria' or the 'Company'), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing impactful treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders, today provides business updates for the First Quarter of 2025. 'The first quarter of 2025 marked steady progress across our pipeline,' said Spyros Papapetropoulos, M.D., Ph.D., President and CEO of Neuphoria. 'Our lead internal program BNC210 continues to enroll into the AFFIRM-1 Phase 3 study in Social Anxiety Disorder, and we are planning to release topline data in Q3 this year. We're also very pleased to see our partnered asset, MK-1167, continue its momentum in the Merck-led Phase 2 trial in Alzheimer's disease.' Recent Highlights Clinical Programs Phase 3 AFFIRM-1 with BNC210 for the acute, as-needed treatment of anxiety in social anxiety disorder (SAD) trial is proceeding with topline results anticipated in Q3 2025. BNC210 has demonstrated rapid-onset, broad and meaningful anti-anxiety effects in completed clinical trials in panic attacks, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and social anxiety disorder (SAD) without evidence of sedation, impairments in cognition or addiction potential. Planning for a Phase 2b (SYMPHONY) trial for BNC210 in PTSD is underway following a successful End-of-Phase 2 (EoP2) meeting with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The proposed SYMPHONY trial is being designed to help identify a second (lower) dose for BNC210 in order to further de-risk the program prior to advancing onto a Phase 3 trial, contingent on meeting capital requirements for the next program milestone (Ph3 AFFIRM-1 SAD trial read-out).
