Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline to the Average Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS) Score of the 5-minute Performance Phase of a Public Speaking Challenge
Assessed over a single visit: On the treatment day at Baseline (approximately 5 minutes pre-dose) and during the Public Speaking Challenge Performance Phase conducted at 65 to 70 minutes post-dose (following the Anticipation Phase that started at 60 min).

The SUDS is a self reported measure of the intensity of distress currently experienced by an individual. The range is 0-100, with a higher score indicating a higher level of anxiety/greater distress

Change From Baseline on the Clinician Administered Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Scale for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) (CAPS-5) Total Symptom Severity Scores After 12 Weeks
Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks,12 weeks

The CAPS-5 is a 30-item structured interview used to diagnose PTSD and assess PTSD symptoms over the past month. Information about the frequency and intensity of each item is combined into a severity rating, and the CAPS-5 total symptom severity score is calculated by adding the severity scores for the 20 PTSD symptoms in the DSM-5. Scores range from 0 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater severity of PTSD symptoms.

Absolute change in agitation, as measured by the Pittsburgh Agitation Scale (PAS).
5 days
Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) (CAPS-5), Total Symptom Severity Score
12 weeks.

Investigator-rated PTSD symptom severity. The range for the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) (CAPS-5)Total Symptom Severity Score is 0-80, with a higher score meaning a higher severity of disease.

Secondary Endpoints

Change From Baseline to the Average SUDS Score of the 2-minute Anticipation Phase of a Public Speaking Challenge
Assessed over a single visit: On the treatment day at Baseline (approximately 5 minutes pre-dose) and during the Public Speaking Challenge Anticipation Phase conducted at 60 to 62 minutes post-dose (the first 2 minutes of the Public Speaking Challenge).
Change From Baseline to the End of the 5-minute Performance Phase of a Public Speaking Challenge in the Clinical Global Impressions-Severity (CGI-S) Score
Assessed over a single visit: On the treatment day at Baseline (approximately 5 minutes pre-dose) and at the end of the Public Speaking Challenge Performance Phase at 70 minutes post-dose (following the Anticipation Phase that started at 60 min).
Difference at the End of the 5-minute Performance Phase of a Public Speaking Challenge in the Patient Global Impressions-Improvement (PGI-I) Score
Assessed over a single visit: On the treatment day at the end of the Public Speaking Challenge Performance Phase at 70 minutes post-dose (following the Anticipation Phase that started at 60 min).

Frequently asked questions about BNC210

What is BNC210 used for?

BNC210 is an investigational small molecule being developed for agitation in the elderly, post-traumatic stress disorder, and social anxiety disorder. It is not approved for any indication and remains in clinical development. Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc. (ticker NEUP) is the developer.

What does BNC210 target?

BNC210 targets CHRNA7, also known as the alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. It acts as a negative allosteric modulator at this target. This mechanism is distinct from standard treatments for anxiety and agitation, which typically act on other receptor systems.

Who is developing BNC210?

BNC210 is being developed by Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc., which trades under the ticker NEUP. The company is advancing the asset across multiple central nervous system indications, including social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and agitation in the elderly.

What phase is BNC210 in?

BNC210 is in Phase 2 development overall, though one trial has been conducted at Phase 3. The program includes completed studies in social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and agitation in the elderly. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is BNC210 in?

Completed trials include NCT06510504, a Phase 3 study in social anxiety disorder with 370 participants; NCT05193409, a Phase 2 study in social anxiety disorder with 151 participants; NCT04951076, a Phase 2b study in PTSD with 212 participants; and NCT03548194, a Phase 2 study in elderly agitation with 38 participants.
