Newron is developing evenamide as an add-on therapy for poorly managed and treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS). In April/May 2024, positive results were shared from a Phase II/III trial (study 008A) in schizophrenia patients taking antipsychotics but not classified as having TRS (primary and key secondary endpoints met). In January 2024, positive final results (12-month data for the full patient cohort) were announced for a Phase II trial (study 014/015) in TRS patients. Over 70% of patients experienced a clinically meaningful reduction in disease severity and 25% achieved remission. With these encouraging results in hand, a partnership deal for evenamide is expected to be secured in the coming months, ahead of an H125 launch for the subsequent, potentially pivotal, multinational Phase III TRS programme. In FY23, Newron recorded total revenue of €9.1m (up 48.6% y-o-y), primarily derived from Xadago-related royalty income.
