Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Definium Therapeutics reported positive topline Phase 3 results from its Emerge study of DT120 ODT 100 µg in adults with major depressive disorder. The trial met its primary endpoint, showing an 8.1-point placebo-adjusted improvement in MADRS depression scores at Week 6 (p<0.0001), and maintained a 7.3-point advantage at Week 12 (p<0.0001). A key secondary endpoint, the CGI-S severity scale, also improved rapidly, with a 0.9-point placebo-adjusted benefit by Day 2 (p<0.0001). DT120 ODT was generally well tolerated, with 99% of treatment-emergent adverse events mild to moderate, no serious adverse events, and no suicidality signal, and all participants cleared the monitored dosing session by 8 hours. Response and remission rates at Week 6 favored DT120 ODT, and interim extension data suggest additional open-label doses can deepen and sustain benefit through Week 28.

Positive

  • Emerge Phase 3 success in MDD: Single-dose DT120 ODT 100 µg achieved an 8.1-point placebo-adjusted MADRS benefit at Week 6 and 7.3 points at Week 12 (both p<0.0001), meeting the primary and key secondary efficacy endpoints.
  • Favorable safety and tolerability: 99% of treatment-emergent adverse events were mild to moderate, no serious adverse events or suicidality signal were observed, and all participants cleared the monitored dosing session within 8 hours.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

Phase 3 success in MDD with strong effect size and clean safety.

Definium Therapeutics reported that a single 100 µg dose of DT120 ODT achieved an 8.1-point placebo-adjusted improvement in MADRS at Week 6 and 7.3 points at Week 12, both with p<0.0001. Rapid CGI-S benefits by Day 2 reinforce the speed of onset.

The safety profile appears favorable for a serotonergic psychedelic: 99% of adverse events were mild or moderate, most resolved on dosing day, and there were no serious adverse events or suicidality signal in this study phase. Session management looks practical, with an average 5.8-hour time to end-of-session clearance and all participants discharged criteria by 8 hours.

Interim extension data indicate that additional open-label doses can further increase response and remission rates through Week 28. Actual long-term durability, regulatory reception, and outcomes from the complementary Ascend and Voyage Phase 3 trials will be important for understanding DT120’s overall clinical and commercial profile.

Company to host webcast today at 8:00 a.m. EDT

 

NEW YORK -- Definium Therapeutics, Inc. (“Definium” or the “Company”), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company developing a new generation of therapeutics intended to address underlying causes of psychiatric and neurological disorders, today announced positive topline results from Emerge, its first randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study evaluating a single dose of DT120 (lysergide) ODT 100 µg in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD).

 

Emerge met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement from baseline compared with placebo, as measured by the change in MADRS total score at week 6. The Least Squares (LS) mean change from baseline in MADRS total score at Week 6 in participants who received DT120 ODT 100 µg was -13.3 compared with -5.2 for patients who received placebo, a LS mean difference of -8.1 points (p<0.0001). Beyond the primary endpoint, the effect was rapid with a placebo-adjusted LS mean reduction in MADRS total score at Week 1 of -14.2 (p<0.0001) and durable with a placebo-adjusted LS mean reduction in MADRS total score of -7.3 at Week 12 (p<0.0001).

 

“The Emerge topline results represent unprecedented and highly differentiated efficacy, demonstrating that a single dose of DT120 ODT can deliver rapid, robust, and durable relief in MDD,” said Rob Barrow, Chief Executive Officer of Definium Therapeutics. “As the first of our Phase 3 studies to report results, Emerge marks a major milestone in our development program and strengthens our confidence in DT120 as a potential best-in-class treatment for mental health disorders. These findings could support a fundamentally new approach to treating MDD for patients and providers who continue to face the limitations of existing treatment options. We are deeply grateful to the patients and investigators who participated in this trial. Grounded in decades of scientific research, these results bring us one step closer to potentially delivering a transformative new treatment option as we advance toward FDA submission.”

 

DT120 ODT was generally well tolerated with 99% of treatment-emergent adverse events mild to moderate in severity, transient, and predominantly occurring on the day of dosing. No new safety signals were identified, including no increase in suicidal ideation or behavior, and discontinuation rates were low and comparable between treatment groups. On the day of dosing, participants were assessed hourly from hours 5 to 8 on a structured end of session checklist (EoSC). The average time to meeting EoSC criteria was 5.8 hours for participants receiving DT120 ODT in Part A, with a median of 5.1 hours and 100% of participants meeting the EoSC criteria by hour 8.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many patients with MDD aren’t helped by existing treatments, often experiencing partial responses, frequent medication changes, and long-term side effects,” said John Sonnenberg, Ph.D., Emerge principal investigator, clinical psychologist, founder of Uptown Research Institute, and faculty member at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “The Emerge topline results demonstrate that a single dose of DT120 ODT can produce a meaningful and durable benefit for people with depression. Importantly, these results stand apart from existing treatments, representing a potentially new paradigm for the management of major depression.”

 

Highlights from Emerge Topline Results

 

The mean baseline MADRS score at study entry was 35.0 in the DT120 ODT treatment group (n=75) and 34.0 in the placebo ODT group (n=74).

About Emerge

 

Emerge is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of a single 100 µg dose of DT120 ODT versus placebo in participants with major depressive disorder (MDD).

 

♦      2

 

 

 

 

The study consists of a 12-week double-blind phase (Part A) followed by a 40-week open-label extension phase (Part B) during which participants may be eligible to receive DT120 ODT based on symptom severity. The study enrolled 149 participants aged 18 to 74 years across 20 sites with a DSM-5-confirmed diagnosis of MDD, a Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score of at least 26, and a Clinical Global Impression–Severity (CGI-S) score of at least 4 at screening and baseline.

 

The primary endpoint is change from baseline in the MADRS total score at Week 6. Key secondary endpoints are change from baseline in CGI-S score at Week 6, Week 12 and Day 2 and change from baseline in MADRS total score at Week 12 and Week 1.

 

Emerge is one of two pivotal Phase 3 studies in MDD. Ascend, the second Phase 3 study in MDD, is aligned with Emerge, but includes a low dose arm and is also conducted in two parts: Part A, a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group period; and Part B, a 40-week extension period during which participants will be eligible for open-label treatment with DT120 ODT based on symptom severity. Participants will be randomized 2:1:2 to receive DT120 ODT 100 µg, DT120 ODT 50 µg, or placebo. The 50 µg arm is intended to confound participants’ ability to accurately assess the dose condition to which they have been randomized. This approach continues to build on the Company’s Phase 2b study of DT120 in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), which the Company believes demonstrated that DT120’s clinical activity is not attributable to functional unblinding and aligns with FDA guidance on the use of complementary designs across the Company’s DT120 clinical development program. The primary endpoint of Ascend is change from baseline in MADRS total score at Week 6 between DT120 ODT 100 µg and placebo.

 

About Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

 

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is the second-most common mental health disorder in the U.S., with over 21 million adults experiencing a major depressive episode (MDE) each year.1,2 This disorder, a leading cause of disability worldwide,3 brings persistent feelings of worthlessness, fatigue, and recurrent thoughts of death4 while increasing long-term mortality risk by 40%.5 MDD also carries a $326 billion annual economic burden in the U.S., driven by healthcare costs and lost productivity.6 The MDD treatment paradigm is characterized by critical unmet needs, including fewer than one-third of patients reaching remission with first-line treatments,7 onset of clinical activity that takes weeks to months,8,9 poor tolerability,10,11 and frequent switching, augmentation, and discontinuation of pharmacotherapy.12

 

About DT120 (lysergide) Orally Disintegrating Tablet (ODT)

 

DT120 ODT is an ergoline derivative belonging to the group of classic serotonergic psychedelics, which acts as a partial agonist at serotonin-2A (5-HT2A) receptors. DT120 ODT is Definium’s proprietary and pharmaceutically optimized formulation of LSD. DT120 ODT is an advanced formulation incorporating Catalent’s Zydis® ODT fast-dissolve technology, designed to deliver several unique advantages, including faster absorption and onset of transient cognitive, perceptual, and affective changes, improved bioavailability, and a lower incidence of gastrointestinal side effects. Definium is developing DT120 ODT, the tartrate salt form of lysergide, for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), major depressive disorder (MDD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and is exploring its potential applications in other serious brain health disorders. DT120 has received Breakthrough Therapy designation from the FDA for GAD.

About Lysergide (LSD)

 

Lysergide (LSD) is one of the most extensively studied psychopharmaceuticals in history, with over 1,000 published reports.13 First synthesized in 1938 by Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann in his search for active principles from ergot fungus, its profound psychological effects were discovered in 1943, which transformed psychiatric research.13 LSD, a definitional classic psychedelic, temporarily alters perception, cognition, and emotion, is physiologically safe, non-addictive, and isn’t associated with withdrawal.13 While its precise mechanism of action in the treatment of psychiatric illness is unknown, its acute perceptual, cognitive, and affective effects are mediated by agonism of the serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A (5-HT2A) receptor, and mechanistic hypotheses suggest that it causes sustained increases in neuroplasticity in a variety of brain regions.14,15

Cautionary Note Regarding Regulatory Matters The United States federal government regulates drugs through the Controlled Substances Act. DT120 ODT is a proprietary, pharm ace utically optimized form of lysergide D - tartrate and DT402, or R( - ) - MDMA, is our proprietary form of the R - enantiomer of MDMA (3, 4 - methylenedioxymethamphetamine). Lysergide and MDMA are Schedule I substances under the Controlled Substances Act. While the C omp any is focused on programs using psychedelic or hallucinogenic compounds and non - hallucinogenic derivatives of these compounds, including in DT120 ODT, DT402 and its other product candidates, the Company does not have any direct or indirect involvement wit h the illegal selling, production or distribution of any substances in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company is a neuro - pharmaceutical drug development company and does not deal with psychedelic or hallucinogenic substances except within laboratory and clinica l t rial settings conducted within approved regulatory frameworks.

FAQ

What did Definium Therapeutics (DFTX) announce in the Emerge Phase 3 study?

Definium Therapeutics announced positive topline Phase 3 Emerge data showing DT120 ODT met its primary and all key secondary endpoints in major depressive disorder. A single 100 µg dose produced rapid, robust and durable improvements in MADRS depression scores versus placebo.

How strong was DT120 ODT’s efficacy in Definium Therapeutics’ Emerge trial?

DT120 ODT achieved an 8.1-point placebo-adjusted improvement in MADRS total score at Week 6 and 7.3 points at Week 12, both with p<0.0001. It also showed rapid benefit, with a 14.2-point placebo-adjusted MADRS reduction at Week 1 in adults with major depressive disorder.

What were the safety results for DT120 ODT in Definium Therapeutics’ Phase 3 Emerge study?

DT120 ODT was generally well tolerated in Emerge, with 99% of treatment-emergent adverse events mild to moderate and mostly occurring on dosing day. No serious adverse events, no increase in suicidal ideation or behavior, and low, comparable discontinuation rates between treatment groups were reported.

How quickly did patients improve on DT120 ODT in Definium Therapeutics’ Emerge trial?

Patients receiving DT120 ODT showed rapid improvement, with a placebo-adjusted least-squares mean MADRS reduction of 14.2 points at Week 1 and a 0.9-point placebo-adjusted CGI-S benefit by Day 2. These data indicate quick onset of antidepressant effect after a single 100 µg dose.

What does the Emerge Phase 3 design tell investors about Definium Therapeutics’ DT120 program?

Emerge used a single-dose, 12-week double-blind phase followed by a 40-week open-label extension, enrolling 149 adults with severe MDD. Interim Part B data suggest additional DT120 ODT doses can deepen response and remission rates through Week 28, complementing other ongoing Phase 3 studies.

What is DT120 ODT, Definium Therapeutics’ lead candidate for MDD and GAD?

DT120 ODT is Definium’s proprietary orally disintegrating formulation of lysergide (LSD), an ergoline-derived classic serotonergic psychedelic acting as a partial 5‑HT2A agonist. It uses Catalent’s Zydis ODT technology and is being developed for generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder and PTSD.

How large is the potential market Definium Therapeutics targets with DT120 ODT?

The company cites about 50 million U.S. adults with generalized anxiety disorder or major depressive disorder, with 26 million diagnosed and 13 million treated. Around 4.2 million have failed two or more medications, highlighting a sizable unmet-need population for DT120 ODT if approved.
