Phase 1
Neumora Therapeutics has hit a road block to becoming a major neuroscience player, with the FDA placing a clinical hold on a Phase 1 study for one of its early-stage assets in schizophrenia.
The company said that the trial is on hold following “recently available” preclinical data for its drug dubbed NMRA-266 which showed convulsions in rabbits. Neumora said that 30 patients in the Phase 1 have already taken the drug, a modulator of the M4 muscarinic receptor, and no convulsions have been reported.
