with major depressive disorder (MDD)," said Sergio Traversa, Relmada's Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to expect top-line
results before the end of the year from RELIANCE I, the first of two ongoing Phase 3 sister two-arm, placebo-controlled, pivotal studies
evaluating REL-1017 as a potential adjunctive treatment. While we await these data, we continue to enroll patients in RELIANCE II, our
second adjunctive study, while making certain improvements to how the trial is being conducted. Therefore, we now anticipate the availability
of these top-line results in 2023."
the initial RELIANCE III disappointment, we remain highly confident in the potential of REL-1017
to be a safe and effective new therapy for the adjunctive treatment of MDD," continued Sergio Traversa. "It

REL-1017, a new chemical entity (NCE) and novel
NMDA receptor (NMDAR) channel blocker that preferentially targets hyperactive channels while maintaining physiological glutamatergic neurotransmission,
is currently in late-stage development for the adjunctive treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). The ongoing Reliance Clinical
Research Program is designed to evaluate the potential for REL-1017 as a rapid-acting, oral, once-daily adjunctive antidepressant treatment.
In a Phase 2 trial as an adjunctive treatment, REL-1017 demonstrated rapid, robust, and sustained antidepressant effects with statistically
significant improvements compared to placebo. The Phase 2 study also showed a favorable pharmacokinetic, safety, and tolerability profile
of REL-1017 consistent with results observed in previously completed Phase 1 studies.
