Newron Pharmaceuticals S.p.A. announced the completion of patient enrollment in study 008A, its potentially pivotal study with evenamide in patients suffering from schizophrenia

Study 008A is a four-week, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled study assessing the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of evenamide (30 mg bid) in patients with chronic schizophrenia currently being treated with a second-generation antipsychotic, but who demonstrate an inadequate response to that treatment.

A total of 290 patients were enrolled at study centers in Europe, Asia and Latin America. Results from the potentially pivotal study are expected in March 2024. If positive, study 008A would be the first well-controlled study to demonstrate the clinical utility of evenamide in schizophrenia patients who show an inadequate response to treatment with atypical antipsychotics.
