Conference Call and Webcast Today at 4:30 PM ET

CORAL GABLES, Fla., May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:RLMD, "Relmada" or the "Company")), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing innovative therapies for central nervous system and oncology indications, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, and provided a corporate and pipeline update.

"2025 is off to an outstanding start for Relmada," said Sergio Traversa, CEO of Relmada. "With the addition of NDV-01 and sepranolone, two differentiated Phase 2 product candidates targeting large, underserved markets, we've significantly enhanced our pipeline and long-term value proposition. The recently announced proof-of-concept data for NDV-01 presented at AUA 2025 reinforce its potential to become a best-in-class, bladder-sparing treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC)."

"Our strategic focus remains on developing a diverse pipeline with strong scientific rationale, intellectual property protection, and capital-efficient development paths," added Mr. Traversa. "Looking ahead, we are prioritizing the advancement of NDV-01 and sepranolone into further clinical development."

"In the second half of 2025, we plan to complete the ongoing NDV-01 Phase 2 study and prepare for the initiation of a Phase III registration trial in the first half of 2026," said Maged Shenouda, CFO of Relmada. "We also expect to initiate a new Phase 2 study of sepranolone in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) in the first half of 2026."

About NDV-01

NDV-01 is a sustained-release, intravesical formulation of gemcitabine and docetaxel (GEM/DOCE), in development for the treatment of bladder cancer. It was designed to enable GEM/DOCE bladder retention and gradual drug release over 10 days. The formulation creates a soft matrix that enhances local exposure while minimizing systemic toxicity. NDV-01 is easy to administer in-office, in less than 10 minutes, and does not require anesthesia or specialized equipment. It is protected by patents through 2038.

About NMIBC

NMIBC represents ~75% of all bladder cancer cases and is associated with high recurrence (50–75% over 7 years). With over 600,000 prevalent cases in the U.S. and limited treatment options, the market opportunity is significant. NDV-01 has the potential to serve as a frontline or salvage therapy and could be applicable across multiple NMIBC subtypes.

About Sepranolone and GABA Modulation

Sepranolone, a synthetic isoallopregnanolone, selectively modulates GABA_A receptors by antagonizing allopregnanolone (ALLO), without disrupting GABA signaling. It targets disorders linked to excess GABAergic activity such as Prader-Willi syndrome, Tourette syndrome, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). More than 335 patients have been treated in trials to date, with an excellent safety profile.

About Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS)

PWS is a rare genetic disorder caused by chromosomal deletions on chromosome 15, leading to neurodevelopmental and behavioral complications. US prevalence is estimated at 20,000 patients. Current treatments address symptoms but do not modify the underlying neurobehavioral pathology.

About Tourette Syndrome (TS)

TS affects more than 350,000 U.S. children and is marked by involuntary tics. Current therapies can have substantial side effects. Sepranolone is an investigational agent that offers a novel mechanism by modulating ALLO, potentially reducing compulsive symptoms more safely than existing dopaminergic therapies.

About Relmada Therapeutics, Inc.

Relmada Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing transformative therapies for central nervous system and oncology-related conditions. Its lead candidates, NDV-01 and sepranolone, are advancing through mid-stage clinical development with the potential to address significant unmet needs.
