Adial Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ADIL) regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) after the company's common stock traded with a closing bid of at least $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days from Feb 6–20, 2026. Nasdaq notified the company on Feb 23, 2026 that the matter is closed.
The company said it is advancing AD04 toward a pivotal Phase 3 program, described improvements in clinical strategy, regulatory alignment, and manufacturing readiness, and disclosed ongoing advanced strategic partnering discussions to support next‑phase development and commercialization.

This could lower Phase 3 costs, improve capital efficiency, and accelerate an NDA pathway for AD04.
The company plans to engage with the FDA on an appropriate evidentiary strategy for AD04, a genetically targeted serotonin-3 receptor antagonist for Alcohol Use Disorder.
