Relmada Therapeutics said an interim analysis of a study assessing a treatment for major depressive disorder is futile and unlikely to meet the primary efficacy endpoint with statistical significance.
The late-stage biotechnology company said an interim analysis of Reliance II conducted by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee determined its assessment of the Phase 3 study. Reliance II was designed to evaluate REL-1017 as an adjunctive treatment for major depressive disorder to be used in combination with other approved anti-depressants.
Relmada said no new safety signals were reported.
"Based on these results, Relmada will evaluate the full dataset to determine next steps for the REL-1017 program," said Chief Executive Sergio Traversa. He added that Relmada will continue to advance a Phase 1 study of REL-P11 as a treatment of metabolic disease.
