About VistaGen
VistaGen Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing new generation medicines for multiple CNS diseases and disorders with high unmet need. Each of VistaGen's CNS pipeline candidates, AV-101, PH10, and PH94B, has potential for convenient, at-home use, rapid-onset therapeutic benefits and exceptional safety. Each CNS drug candidate in VistaGen's pipeline is either currently in, or has completed, Phase 2 clinical development. AV-101, an oral NMDA receptor glycine site antagonist (a full antagonist), is in Phase 2 development in the U.S. for major depressive disorder (MDD) and in a first-step target engagement study in healthy volunteer U.S. military Veterans for suicidal ideation. The FDA has granted Fast Track designation for development of AV-101, both as a potential adjunctive treatment for MDD and as a non-opioid treatment for neuropathic pain. PH10 nasal spray is a potential first-in-class CNS neuroactive steroid with rapid-onset antidepressant effects observed at microgram doses and without systemic exposure. PH10 is in Phase 2 development for MDD. PH94B nasal spray is a potential first-in-class CNS neuroactive steroid with rapid-onset effects observed at microgram doses and without systemic exposure. Phase 2 development for PH94B for social anxiety disorder (SAD) has been completed successfully, and PH94B is now being prepared for Phase 3 development as an on-demand PRN treatment for SAD.
