Vistagen (VTGN) has been granted a U.S. patent for AV-101, its oral non-opioid product candidate for treating neuropathic pain. The patent extends until at least 2034 and is part of Vistagen's global patent portfolio for AV-101's manufacturing methods and therapeutic uses involving the NMDA receptor.

Preclinical studies published in The Journal of Pain showed AV-101's antinociceptive effects similar to gabapentin but with a better side effect profile. Additional research comparing AV-101 to pregabalin demonstrated significant dose response and similar efficacy in chronic neuropathic pain models.

Clinical data from Phase 1 studies published in the Scandinavian Journal of Pain indicated that oral AV-101 was well-tolerated, showing no meaningful difference in adverse events between AV-101 and placebo. The company is now seeking strategic collaborations to advance AV-101's clinical development and commercialization for pain and dyskinesias.

Vistagen (VTGN) announced positive results from an exploratory Phase 2A study of PH284, a pherine nasal spray designed to treat cancer cachexia. The double-blind, placebo-controlled study involved 40 female patients with terminal cancer-induced cachexia. PH284 demonstrated significant improvements in subjective feelings of hunger (SFH), with patients reporting a 71% improvement versus baseline prior to dinner on Day 7, compared to less than 1% in the placebo group.

The treatment protocol involved administering PH284 nasal spray (0.4 µg/50 µL) four times daily before meals. The study showed cumulative positive effects on hunger scores throughout the treatment period. Safety results were favorable, with no serious adverse events reported and an adverse event profile similar to placebo. PH284 becomes the fifth pherine product candidate in Vistagen's neuroscience pipeline to show positive efficacy signals.

Vistagen (VTGN) has initiated a repeat dose study for fasedienol, its investigational nasal spray for treating Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). The exploratory Phase 2 trial will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of repeat doses in adults with SAD during public speaking challenges.

The multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study includes three arms: fasedienol followed by fasedienol (6.4 micrograms total), fasedienol followed by placebo (3.2 micrograms total), and placebo followed by placebo. The second dose will be administered ten minutes after the initial dose. The study design mirrors the ongoing PALISADE Phase 3 studies, including an open-label extension.
