Axsome Therapeutics (NASDAQ: AXSM) announced multiple presentations at the 2025 American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting in San Diego. The presentations showcase results from two pivotal Phase 3 trials: the ACCORD-2 trial of AXS-05 for Alzheimer's disease agitation and the SYMPHONY trial of AXS-12 for narcolepsy.
The ACCORD-2 results were accepted as a late-breaking abstract, highlighting the efficacy and safety of AXS-05 in a randomized withdrawal double-blind placebo-controlled study. Additionally, the company will present data from a network meta-analysis comparing SYMBRAVO® (AXS-07) to oral CGRPs for acute migraine treatment.
Key presentations include Dr. Michael J. Thorpy's discussion of the SYMPHONY trial results and the CRESCENDO survey findings on narcolepsy Type 1 patients' symptom burden and quality of life. Dr. Stephanie Nahas will present the comparative efficacy analysis of AXS-07 versus gepants for migraine treatment.
Axsome Therapeutics (NASDAQ: AXSM) announced topline results from the PARADIGM Phase 3 proof-of-concept trial of solriamfetol in major depressive disorder (MDD). While the study did not meet its primary endpoint of statistically significant change in MADRS total score in the overall population, promising results were observed in a prespecified subgroup.
The 6-week trial included patients with severe excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) (n=51) and without severe EDS (n=295). In the EDS subgroup, solriamfetol 300 mg showed clinically meaningful improvements compared to placebo across multiple efficacy measures, including MADRS total score, anhedonia subscale, and remission rates.
Based on these results, Axsome plans to initiate a new Phase 3 trial specifically targeting MDD patients with EDS in 2025. The condition affects approximately 50% of MDD patients, representing a significant unmet medical need with no currently approved therapies. The drug demonstrated a safety profile consistent with previous findings.
Axsome Therapeutics (NASDAQ: AXSM) announced positive results from its FOCUS Phase 3 trial of solriamfetol for treating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The trial, involving 516 adults, demonstrated statistically significant improvements in ADHD symptoms compared to placebo.
Key findings include:
- 17.7-point reduction in AISRS total score with 150mg solriamfetol vs 14.3 points for placebo (p=0.039)
- 45% mean reduction in ADHD symptoms from baseline at Week 6
- 53.5% of patients on 150mg achieved clinical response vs 41.3% on placebo
- Onset of action observed as early as Week 1
- Significant reduction in disease severity (CGI-S score)
The 300mg dose showed numerically superior results compared to placebo but wasn't statistically significant. The drug was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events reported. Axsome plans to initiate pediatric trials this year.
Axsome Therapeutics (NASDAQ: AXSM) has reached a settlement agreement with Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA regarding patent litigation over Sunosi® (solriamfetol).

Safety studies involving over 300 patients treated for 6+ months and 100+ patients for 12+ months showed AXS-05 was well-tolerated, with no deaths reported and no increased risk of falls, sedation, or cognitive decline.
