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 a 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.
