Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale, Version 5 (ADHD-RS-5) Total Score
Baseline to Visit 8 (Week 6)

The ADHD-RS-5 is comprised of 18 frequency items and 12 impairment items. Each frequency item was scored on a scale from 0 = "Never or rarely" to 3 = "Very often". The ADHD-RS-5 total score was calculated as the sum of the 18 frequency item scores. The total score ranges from 0 to 54. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity. Change from baseline value were calculated as the assessment value minus the baseline value.

Clinical Global Impression - Global Improvement (CGI -I) Response
Visit 3 to Visit 8 (Week 6)

The CGI-I item is rated on a 7-point scale from 1 = "Very much improved", 2 = "Much improved", 3 = "Minimally improved", 4 = "No change", 5 = "Minimally worse", 6 = "Much worse", 7 = "Very much worse". Response is defined as achieving a CGI-I score of 1 or 2, scores of 3 to 7 or missing are defined as Non Response

Frequently asked questions about NFC-1

What is NFC-1 used for?

NFC-1 is an investigational small molecule being developed for 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome, Attention Deficit Disorder With Hyperactivity, and Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It is being studied in adolescents and children with these neuropsychiatric conditions.

Who makes NFC-1?

NFC-1 is being developed by Avalo Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol AVTX. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NFC-1 in patients with ADHD and related genetic disorders.

What phase is NFC-1 in?

NFC-1 is in Phase 1 clinical development. While one completed trial was listed as Phase 2, the overall development program is currently in the early stages, with the most recent trials being Phase 1 studies. NFC-1 is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is NFC-1 in?

NFC-1 has been studied in four completed clinical trials: NCT02286817, a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic and dose escalation study in adolescents with ADHD; NCT02777931, a Phase 2 efficacy and safety study in adolescents with genetic disorders impacting mGluR and ADHD; NCT02895906, a Phase 1 study in subjects with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome; and NCT03006367, a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study in children with ADHD.

How does NFC-1 work?

NFC-1 targets the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) pathway, which is implicated in certain genetic disorders that affect brain signaling. By modulating this pathway, NFC-1 is intended to address neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with conditions like ADHD and 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome.

Is NFC-1 the same as any other drug?

NFC-1 is not known to have any alternative names. It is a unique investigational compound being developed by Avalo Therapeutics for the treatment of ADHD and related genetic disorders. No other names for this drug have been reported.
