Ongoing clinical studies evaluating navacaprant in bipolar depression and NMRA-511 in Alzheimer's disease agitation with data expected in second half of 2025

Clinical study for next M4 PAM program expected to commence clinical in the first half of 2025

Strong financial position with $341.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities now expected to support operations into mid-2026

Conference call today at 8:00am ET

WATERTOWN, Mass., Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Neumora Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMRA) a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a therapeutics pipeline consisting of seven clinical and pre-clinical brain disease programs, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, and provided a business update.

"It is an exciting time at Neumora as we continue to execute on our mission to redefine neuroscience drug development. We look forward to announcing topline data from KOASTAL-1, the first of three replicate studies in the pivotal Phase 3 KOASTAL program for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), around the end of the year. This is an important milestone for navacaprant, which we believe has the potential to reshape the treatment of MDD by meeting outstanding unmet needs that current therapies do not adequately address," said Henry Gosebruch, president and chief executive officer, Neumora.

"Beyond our MDD studies, we made substantial progress across our broader portfolio of additional novel clinical and preclinical programs. Notably, we have expanded navacaprant's potential with a Phase 2 study in bipolar depression and are advancing a Phase 1b study of NMRA-511, a V1aR antagonist, for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease agitation. Additionally, we continue to have strong conviction in our M4 franchise and plan to submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) application in the first half of 2025. We are confident in our pipeline of next generation, novel therapies that could offer improved treatment outcomes and quality of life for patients suffering from brain diseases," added Mr. Gosebruch.

KEY PIPELINE HIGHLIGHTS

Neumora is advancing a therapeutic pipeline of seven clinical and preclinical neuroscience programs that target novel mechanisms of action for a broad range of underserved neuropsychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.

Navacaprant (NMRA-140): Phase 3 Data from KOASTAL-1 Study in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) Expected Around the End of 2024

Navacaprant (NMRA-140) is a highly selective, novel, once-daily kappa opioid receptor (KOR) antagonist being developed as a potential monotherapy treatment for MDD and other neuropsychiatric disorders. The KOR antagonist approach has been clinically validated in three independent studies.

Neumora is currently enrolling the registrational Phase 3 KOASTAL program, which is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of navacaprant monotherapy for the treatment of MDD. KOASTAL-1, KOASTAL-2, and KOASTAL-3 are replicate Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind studies in adult patients with MDD.

  • The Company expects to report topline data from the KOASTAL-1 study around the end of 2024, and topline data from the KOASTAL-2 and KOASTAL-3 studies in the first half of 2025.

Beyond MDD, Neumora is advancing a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the potential of navacaprant as treatment for bipolar depression. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 clinical trial is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of navacaprant in people with depression associated with bipolar II disorder. Neumora expects to report topline data from this trial in the second half of 2025.

NMRA-511: Ongoing Phase 1b Study in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) Agitation

NMRA-511 is a highly selective, novel antagonist of the vasopressin 1a receptor (V1aR) being developed for the treatment of agitation associated with dementia due to AD and other neuropsychiatric disorders.

  • Neumora is advancing a Phase 1b study in investigating NMRA-511 initially in healthy elderly adult participants and then people with agitation associated with dementia due to AD. The Company expects to report data from this study in the second half of 2025.

M4 Positive Allosteric Modulator (PAM) Franchise: Advancing Preclinical Work Across Compounds, with IND expected in the first half of 2025

Neumora's M4 franchise comprises multiple novel compounds that each have different properties and chemical composition, including NMRA-266 and additional M4 PAM compounds, which have demonstrated robust activity in preclinical efficacy models and high selectivity for the M4 receptor subtype. The Company plans to submit an IND for an additional program in the first half of 2025.

THIRD QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS

  • Cash Position: As of September 30, 2024, Neumora had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $341.3 million.
  • Financial Guidance: The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2024, will enable it to fund its operating plan into mid-2026.
  • R&D Expense: Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $60.6 million, as compared to $41.6 million for the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily due to advancement of clinical and preclinical programs and related activities for Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating navacaprant as a monotherapy treatment for MDD.
  • G&A Expense: General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $16.0 million, as compared to $15.3 million for the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in technology and insurance costs to support operations as a public company.
  • Net Loss: The Company reported a net loss of $72.5 million for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $53.0 million for the same period in 2023.
