Gate Neurosciences , a clinical-stage biotechnology company using precision medicine approaches to develop next-generation neuroscience therapies, today announced positive topline qEEG biomarker and safety results from its Phase 1 multiple ascending dose study of apimostinel in healthy volunteers.
Key Points:
- Gate Neurosciences , a clinical-stage biotechnology company using precision medicine approaches to develop next-generation neuroscience therapies, today announced positive topline qEEG biomarker and safety results from its Phase 1 multiple ascending dose study of apimostinel in healthy volunteers.
- Results demonstrated a dose-dependent increase in qEEG pharmacodynamic biomarkers of NMDA receptor target activation from baseline, compared with subjects who received placebo.
- Apimostinel was also generally well-tolerated with no ketamine-like dissociative side effects, highlighting its novel mechanistic approach of enhancing synaptic function.
- Gate plans to initiate a Phase 2 study of zelquistinel to confirm efficacy in MDD in Q1 2024.
