InvestorNewsBreaks – VistaGen Therapeutics Inc.’s (NASDAQ: VTGN) Fasedienol Demonstrates Potential to Transform Treatment Landscape for Social Anxiety Disorder

Vistagen (NASDAQ: VTGN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company aiming to transform the treatment landscape for individuals living with anxiety, depression and other central nervous system (“CNS”) disorders, today announced positive top-line results from its Phase 3 PALISADE-2 trial. The trial, to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of fasedienol (“PH94B”) nasal spray in adults diagnosed with social anxiety disorder (“SAD”), met its primary endpoint, with fasedienol demonstrating a statistically significant difference in average SUDS score during a public speaking challenge compared to placebo. The trial also met its secondary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant difference in the proportion of clinician-assessed responders between fasedienol and placebo as measured by the CGI-I scale.

“We are thrilled that these compelling top-line results from the Phase 3 PALISADE-2 trial confirm what was seen in the Phase 2 studies in social anxiety disorder and highlight the potential for fasedienol, with its novel and unique proposed mechanism of action, to transform what is possible for more than 25 million people living with social anxiety in the U.S. and millions more affected worldwide,” said Shawn Singh, chief executive officer of Vistagen. “As a new class of medicines, our pherine nasal spray pipeline holds the potential to transform the treatment landscape across numerous therapeutic areas. At the head of that class, fasedienol’s potential, as demonstrated in this Phase 3 trial, sets the stage for the first fundamentally new class of medicine for individuals living with SAD in more than 20 years.”

About VistaGen Therapeutics Inc.

Vistagen is a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company aiming to transform the treatment landscape for individuals living with anxiety, depression and other CNS disorders. Vistagen is advancing therapeutics with the potential to be faster-acting, and with fewer side effects and safety concerns, than those currently available for the treatment of anxiety, depression and multiple CNS disorders. Vistagen’s pipeline includes six clinical-stage product candidates, including fasedienol (“PH94B”), itruvone (“PH10”), “PH15,” “PH80,” and “PH284,” each an investigational agent belonging to a new class of drugs known as pherines, as well as “AV-101,” which is an oral prodrug antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (“NMDAR”). Pherines are administered as low microgram dose level nasal sprays and are designed with a novel mechanism of action that activates chemosensory neurons in the nasal cavity and can beneficially impact key neural circuits in the brain without systemic uptake or direct activity on CNS neurons in the brain. Vistagen is passionate about transforming mental health care and redefining what is possible in the treatment of anxiety, depression and several other CNS disorders.
