Relmada Therapeutics Provides Corporate Update and Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

 

CORAL GABLES, Fla., August 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RLMD), a late-stage biotechnology company addressing diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), today provided a corporate update and announced preliminary and unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. The Company will host a conference call today, Tuesday, August 8, at 4:30 PM Eastern Time/1:30 PM Pacific Time.

 

“We continue to execute on the Phase 3 clinical development plan for REL-1017 as an adjunctive treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD)," said Sergio Traversa, Relmada's Chief Executive Officer. “Enrollment in the ongoing Reliance II (study 302) is progressing as expected, and we remain on track to complete this trial in the first half of 2024. We were also pleased to initiate Relight, our new Phase 3 Study (study 304), with screening ongoing. We currently anticipate the completion of Relight in the second half of next year. Moreover, the one year, open-label safety study, Reliance-OLS (study 310), with REL-1017 was recently completed, and we are preparing for the availability of data from that study during the current quarter.”

 

“Importantly, we are sufficiently funded to execute on all of our plans to reach data readouts from both Phase 3 trials, Reliance (study 302) and Relight (study 304), in 2024,” concluded Mr. Traversa.
