    PureTech announced topline results for LYT-300 (oral allopregnanolone), a therapeutic candidate in development for neurological and neuropsychological conditions.
  • The results show that oral administration of LYT-300 achieved blood levels of allopregnanolone at or above those associated with therapeutic benefit and results in exposure-dependent target engagement of GABAA receptors.
  • The impact of LYT-300 on b-EEG and other markers of GABAA target engagement were also assessed.
  • PureTech completed a Phase 1 clinical trial of LYT-300 in 2022, which demonstrated oral bioavailability, tolerability and GABAA receptor target engagement in healthy volunteers.
