- Newron Pharmaceuticals S.p.A. (Newron) (SIX: NWRN, XETRA: NP5), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapies for patients with diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system, today announced its operational highlights and financial results for the half-year ended June 30, 2021.
- In April, Newron announced encouraging results from two short-term explanatory studies in evenamide: study 010 in 56 healthy volunteers, and study 008 in 138 outpatients with chronic schizophrenia, receiving treatment with a second-generation atypical antipsychotic.
- Based on this encouraging data and supported by the pre-clinical results published last year confirming the absence of toxicity, Newron, on September 6, 2021, initiated study 008A, the first potentially pivotal study with evenamide in patients with chronic schizophrenia.
- Newron believes that positive results from this study would qualify the trial as the first adequate and well-controlled (pivotal) study with evenamide in patients with schizophrenia who are inadequate responders to antipsychotics.
