Relmada Therapeutics Provides Corporate Update
and Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
CORAL GABLES, Fla., May 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RLMD), a late-stage biotechnology company addressing diseases of the central nervous system (CNS),
today provided a corporate update and announced preliminary and unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.
The Company will host a conference call today, Thursday, May 11, at 4:30 PM Eastern Time/1:30
"We are focused on optimizing the potential
for success in the promising late-stage development program of REL-1017 for the adjunctive treatment of major depressive disorder,"
said Sergio Traversa, Relmada's Chief Executive Officer. "The amended protocol for
ongoing Study 302, is now being implemented and enrollment is progressing, with trial completion anticipated in the first half of 2024.
For the new planned Study 304, we have finalized site selection and solidified a rigorous patient eligibility process."
"We are optimistic about the protocol and trial
design improvements we have made. Based on data generated to date, we believe we have been able to identify those clinical sites that
were better able to control placebo response, and those that understand the importance of enrolling appropriate subjects with documented
diagnoses and treatment histories. We have increased our own internal oversight of the subject eligibility process with the build-out
of an internal clinical development team led by our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Cedric O'Gorman, who has previously run positive
registrational trials in MDD. Moreover, we are sufficiently funded to execute our plans to reach data readouts from both Phase 3 trials
