Data demonstrated potential pro-cognitive effects of RL-007, a cholinergic, glutamatergic, and GABA type B receptor modulator.
After this early data, ATAI will commit additional financial resources for the accelerated development of RL-007.
The interim Phase 2a readout reported promising assessments from two quantitative biomarkers, qEEG (quantitative electroencephalogram) and ERP (evoked-response potential), and indicated changes consistent with improved cognition.
Full results of the current Phase 2a trial are expected by the end of 2021.
