atai Life Sciences (Nasdaq: ATAI) announced positive final results from the Phase 1 trial of GRX-917, a deuterated form of etifoxine, aimed at treating anxiety disorders. The trial showed GRX-917 was well-tolerated with mild side effects similar to placebo, demonstrating dose-related increases in qEEG beta power, indicative of GABA receptor activation. An efficacy study is planned for H1 2023, with results expected in 2024. The potential for GRX-917 lies in its improved pharmacokinetics, allowing less frequent dosing compared to non-deuterated etifoxine.
atai Life Sciences (NASDAQ: ATAI) announced that its Phase 2a trial of PCN-101 (R-ketamine) for treatment-resistant depression did not meet its primary endpoint of a statistically significant improvement in MADRS scores at 24 hours compared to placebo. Despite showing signals of efficacy across all timepoints, the study's primary analysis yielded p=0.5. A total of 102 patients were enrolled, with the 60mg dose group demonstrating a mean change of -15.3. While generally well-tolerated, the trial's secondary endpoints also failed to reach statistical significance.
