Previous report

Since 2013, we had been developing esmethadone as our lead product candidate as an oral agent for the treatment of depression and other potential indications. In December 2024, we reported that the pre-planned interim analysis, conducted by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC), of Reliance II, our Phase 3 study of esmethadone as a potential adjunctive treatment for MDD, indicated that the study was futile and unlikely to meet the primary efficacy endpoint with statistical significance, and that we would pause the Reliance II and Relight Phase 3 studies of esmethadone.

Previous report

Following this 2024 REL-1017 setback, which we believe mostly likely resulted from an overwhelming placebo response—a trend that has become more common than exceptional in central nervous system (CNS) clinical trials—the program has been paused pending a comprehensive data review, after which we will make a decision regarding the future of this program.

Previous report

Esmethadone (d-Methadone, dextromethadone, REL-1017) as a treatment for MDD

Previous report

Esmethadone’s mechanism of action, as a low affinity, non-competitive NMDA channel blocker or antagonist, is fundamentally differentiated from most currently FDA-approved antidepressants, as well as all atypical antipsychotics used adjunctively with standard, FDA-approved antidepressants. Working through the same brain mechanisms as ketamine and esketamine but potentially lacking their adverse side effects, esmethadone is being developed as a rapidly acting, oral agent for the treatment of depression and potentially other CNS conditions.

Previous report

Relmada has paused this program pending a comprehensive data review, after which a decision regarding the future of this program will be made.

Previous report

Esmethadone (d-methadone, dextromethadone, REL-1017) in other indications

Previous report

While our strategy was to focus on the development of esmethadone as an adjunctive treatment for MDD, we are also evaluating other indications that Relmada may explore in the future, including restless leg syndrome and other glutamatergic system activation related diseases.

Previous report

Relmada acquired the development and commercial rights to a novel psilocybin and derivative program from Arbormentis LLC in July of 2021. The original focus of the program was limited to neurodegenerative diseases. Psilocybin has neuroplastogen™ effects that have the potential to ameliorate the consequences of multiple neurodegenerative conditions. The pleiotropic metabolic effects of low-dose psilocybin were discovered while studying its neuroplastogen™ potential in a rodent model deficient in neurogenesis – obese rodents maintained on a high fructose, high fat diet (HFHFD). Specifically, in a rodent model of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), beneficial effects of psilocybin were observed on multiple metabolic parameters, including reduced hepatic steatosis, reduced body weight gain, and fasting blood glucose levels.

Previous report

Effective May 12, 2025, Relmada has terminated this program in light of an ongoing strategic review of this business opportunity, the changing regulatory landscape for psychedelics, its early stage of development and the acquisition of new, more advanced product candidates.

Previous report

We have more than 50 issued patents and pending patent applications related to REL-1017 for multiple uses, including psychological and neurological conditions, potentially providing coverage beyond 2033. We have also secured an Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA for d-methadone for “the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia” (postherpetic neuralgia is lasting pain in areas of skin affected by previous outbreaks of shingles, caused by the varicella zoster, or herpes zoster, virus) which, upon potential NDA approval, carries 7-year FDA Orphan Drug marketing exclusivity. In the European Union, some of our prospective products may be eligible up to 10 years of market exclusivity, which includes 8 years data exclusivity and 2 years market exclusivity. In addition to any granted patents, REL-1017 will be eligible for market exclusivity to run concurrently with the term of the patent for 5 years in the U.S. (Hatch Waxman Act) and may be eligible for an additional 6 months of pediatric exclusivity and up to 10 years of exclusivity in the European Union. We believe an extensive intellectual property estate of US and foreign patents and applications, once approved, will protect our technology and products.

Previous wording

Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (Relmada, the Company, we or us) (a Nevada corporation), is a publicly traded, clinical-stage biotechnology company. We substantially redesigned our development programs following a comprehensive strategic review occasioned by disappointing interim analysis results in December 2024 indicating that our then lead development candidate, esmethadone (d-methadone, dextromethadone, or REL-1017) for the adjunctive treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), was unlikely to succeed in its pivotal trial. We concluded in our review that the most promising path to create shareholder value was to lever our extensive drug development expertise and clinical operations capabilities by acquiring new development candidates, while pausing further work on REL-1017. Hence we accelerated ongoing efforts to augment our development pipeline while diversifying its risk, which culminated in the recently announced licensing of NDV-01, a novel delivery formulation of a chemotheraphy regimen widely used to treat non muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) that is currently in Phase 2, and the acquisition of Sepranolone, a Phase 2b-ready neurosteroid with potential applications in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), Tourette Syndrome (TS), essential tremor and other diseases related to excessive GABAergic activity.

Previous wording

We also had been developing REL-P11, a modified-release formulation of psilocybin, as an investigational agent for the treatment of metabolic disease. The REL-P11 program has successfully completed a Phase 1 safety study. However, in light of an ongoing strategic review of this business opportunity, the changing regulatory landscape for the chronic use of psychedelics, its early stage of development and the acquisition of new, more advanced product candidates, effective May 12, 2025, this program has been terminated.

Previous wording

The second program we recently in-licensed, NDV-01, is a novel intravesicular delivery technology designed for the long-acting, controlled release of gemcitabine and docetaxel. This combination therapy has gained significant interest as an alternative to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) for treating NMIBC, especially given the global BCG shortage since 2019. Clinical studies have shown that gemcitabine and docetaxel achieve response rates and Recurrence-Free Survival comparable to or better than BCG. However, conventional administration is cumbersome, requiring sequential drug delivery over three to four hours, with limited tumor exposure time.
